Description
ALEX HUNT and SAM QUINN are back for another Action-packed Archaeological Adventure! This time, in the Cambodian jungle!
Finding The Golden Urn was supposed to be easy. Nothing the skilled Alex Hunt and Sam Quinn haven’t done before. But little did they know they would become the center of an international conspiracy. A conspiracy, so entangled in a web of secrets and crime that it could cost them their lives.
Faced with danger and underground syndicates, they soon realized they couldn’t trust anyone. Nothing was as it seemed.
After their return from The Lost City of Rhapta (Alex Hunt Adventures Book 1), Professor Charles Hunt retired and handed the reins to his daughter, Alex.
So, when the sacred Golden Urn believed to have contained Buddha’s remains, mysteriously disappeared from a mountain shrine in Cambodia, the Cambodian government hired the highly acclaimed pair for their assistance in finding the holy ancient relic and returning it to its rightful position in the Royal temple in Phnom Penh.
Alex and Sam were on the next plane to Cambodia in their quest to find the sacred Golden Urn. But what they encountered was far more than what they expected.
Would their pursuit for The Golden Urn put them through the ultimate test, or would it lead to the discovery of a relic no one even knew existed?
Alex Hunt and The Golden Urn is another epic tale of riddle solving relic hunting and Book #2 in the Alex Hunt Adventure Series. This fast-paced Archaeological Adventure Thriller will without doubt delight Scott Mariani, Ernest Dempsey and Clive Cussler fans!
Based on a true story
Some 2500 years ago, Buddha’s remains were gathered in several golden urns and shared amongst his followers in 84 000 stupas (holy burials) across the world. In December 2013, The Golden Urn believed to have contained Buddha’s hair, fingers, and ashes, mysteriously disappeared from a mountain shrine in Cambodia. The circumstances were extremely suspicious.

Where is the real Golden Urn? Alex Hunt might be a world class archaeologist who hates to give up but this time she is worried.Sam Quinn knows that Alex won't give up until they have found the Golden Urn but this time the danger outweighs the find. Cambodia isn't going to be kind to these two as someone wants them dead but why? Will Sam be able to protect Alex are will the danger be too great even for him? The people that hired Alex& Sam have their own reasons for wanting the real Urn and will it test both of their wills as they battle an evil that will stop at nothing to get what they want. Can Alex figure out the puzzle and save Sam before it is too late? A great read full of action and suspense. The sexual tension between them is amazing I wonder if they will ever act on it? Great to read about why this piece of history is so important to the Cambodian people and what it means religious as well. I was lucky enough to receive a copy via Netgalley and the publishing house in exchange for my honest review.

Alex and Sam are at it again. The search for the golden urn is a page turning, conspiracy laden thriller. Doubly interesting that it was based on a true story. Enjoyed the development of Alex and Sam' relationship. Just when you think you are on to the people who want them dead another piece of the puzzle explodes. Can't wait for the next one in this series.

Alex and Sam are the perfect pair for this scavenger styled hunt.
They have a very well balanced relationship that plays well with the story.
I love that the hunt takes them not only to the jungles of Cambodia but also the speedier side of society that's rarely described in such fascinating details.
They travel from the city to the most beautiful temples, to the jungle and beyond.
Truly a story worth reading more than once.

Sam and Alex fight against Religion to find the missing Urn. However, is the Urn real - or some Conspicacy theory?
This is the second instalment of the Alex Hunt series, and proved to keep the reader on their toes, with every twist and turn. Trust no one in this amazing novel.
