内容简介 Here at last–the first exciting book in a bold new series of Lara Croft novels tying directly into the popular video games. The Amulet of Power reveals the never-before shown events that took place between “The Last Revelation” and “Angel of Darkness.” Trapped beneath the ruins of an Egyptian tomb, Lara faces certain death . . . until fate intervenes and sets her on the trail of an ancient talisman of power.

When Lara turns up in the Middle East, despite the rumors of her death, religious fanatics believe she has located the coveted Amulet of Mareish. Lost since the siege of Khartoum, the amulet is rumored to grant the wearer untold power. Some long to possess it, others want to see it destroyed, and both sides pursue Lara relentlessly. While she fights trained warriors and ruthless mercenaries, and desperately searches for the jewel they all seek, one thing becomes clear: the fate of the world rests in the hands of . . .

文摘 PROLOGUEShe awoke to a dull throbbing at the base of her skull. She tried to touch it gingerly with her fingers, but found that she couldn?t move her left hand.
What?s happened? she wondered hazily. And then: Why can?t I breathe?
Her mouth was filled with dust, and some instinct made her turn her head slightly before she inhaled through her nostrils.
Where am I?
Then, very slowly, it came back to her. She almost wished it hadn?t. She was buried in the rubble of a tomb beneath the Temple of Horus in the Egyptian town of Edfu. Something was pinning her left arm to the ground, something bigger than a rock, smaller than a boulder.
Were her legs pinned too? She didn?t know. She couldn?t feel them.
She tried to open her eyes to see if there was any light in the tomb. Her left eye opened. It was pitch black. Her right was stuck shut; a tear had mixed with the dust to form a layer of mud that glued her eyelashes together.
All right. Don?t panic. Can I move my right arm?

Okay, I can?t free the left arm. Is it broken? Do the fingers work?
The fingers moved.

How about the rest of me? Can I roll over, sit up, move one way or another?
She tensed, ready to try, and the pain in her skull became so great that she passed out again.
She dreamed that she was stuck to a gigantic spider web. The more she tried to pull free, the more she was held motionless.
?Is someone there??
Oh my God, she thought, still in her dream, the spider is talking to me!
She squirmed, trying to free herself, but she couldn?t move her left arm or her legs.
?If you?re there, call out!?
Call out and let the spider know where I am? H
