Opium Dream

Lee Rivers, field collector for museums, and his eccentric best friend Snake survived their adventures in the Bantam international bestseller Thai Gold and are back!

Lee is onto the hottest find of his career: Kublai Khan’s terracotta army and harem. But even before he mounts an expedition into Afghanistan to excavate and smuggle the priceless artifacts out, he narrowly escapes being mugged in Saigon, and then being murdered in Bangkok, his home. He learns that mysterious assassins—and guardian angels—are dogging him and his team the entire way, including on his harrowing escape to Egypt. Only after he has sold the statues to museums around the world does he learn the reasons why—one that threatens the very existence of civilization. A worse secret—that could destroy Lee’s heart—is kept by the beautiful Hmong princess Meow.
