Footsteps Of The Gods

Alex Puskin is not your typical spy - dashing, daring, debonair and cunning. He is a slacker and proverbial "C" student who by an incredible stroke of luck became employed with a newly formed intelligence agency. His smart mouth irritates his colleagues and handlers and he is impudent to his superiors.

When he receives his first assignment, it seems simple enough on its face: find the kidnapped wife of the well-known CEO of Aegis Industries, an American defense contractor. But the wife has not been kidnapped; she has been accused of selling her husband's secrets to enemies of the West. Unbeknown to Alex, she is also involved in a deadly race to discover a map to the ancient continent of Atlantis. Atlantis conceals a secret device which will be the key to taking Aegis's defense technology to the next level.

Spies in the movies always know how to read trouble and get out of sticky situations by employing some clever gadget. Or when all appears lost, they're rescued by a colleague who rushes in at the last minute to save them. And at the end of the movie, the bad guys always lose and good triumphs. But that's not how things work in the real world of espionage and Alex quickly realizes he lacks the training and agency support necessary to complete the job he's been assigned. Unsure who to trust, he stumbles forward on his own encountering bizarre characters and events that make him wonder if he is on a real mission at all. In doing so, he unravels another mystery that has nothing--and everything--to do with his original mission.
