Pharaoh by Adam W Schindler

Every historical fact and archaeological site is accurate.The question remains: are they true?At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, world-renowned Egyptologist Dr. Ethan Stone delivers a shocking new theory on the death of King Tut. But before he can finish, he’s publicly challenged by Regus Britton-a relentless New York Times journalist known for toppling the powerful. She’s not just questioning his research. She’s digging into something darker: his family legacy.For a century, Fortis Defense-founded by Ethan’s great-grandfather-has armed tyrants and engineered global conflict under the guise of national security. Ethan walked away. But now, Fortis is rising again, activating a classified AI weapons system capable of destabilizing entire governments.When an assassination attempt forces Ethan into hiding, his elite team-former paratroopers turned private operatives-follows a trail from Egypt’s sunken tombs to Saudi Arabia’s futuristic NEOM city. Their mission uncovers a hidden pattern of archaeological sites that could prove the Exodus was real-and pinpoint the true location of Mount Sinai.But they’re not alone. Two powerful factions want Ethan:- His ruthless father, Sir Ethan Stone III, demands he return and claim his place as heir to the empire.- A shadow syndicate wants to use him to bring Fortis down from within-and dispose of him after.Caught between a global power struggle and ancient truths buried for millennia, Ethan must choose: reclaim the empire and control the most dangerous AI weapon ever built-or destroy it and risk plunging the world into chaos.The final clue lies beneath Jerusalem’s Western Wall, hidden in a forgotten scroll. It reveals why King Tut was murdered-and why Ethan may be next.The truth is ancient. The war is now.And one man’s choice will decide how history is written.
