Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Patrick Massett and John Zinman

A mysterious dream leads Lara Croft to an ancient clock hiding a secret her father left behind — a clue to a legendary artifact that can control time itself. But she's not the only one searching. A secret order known as the Illuminati will do anything to claim its power. From the jungles of Cambodia to the frozen ruins of Siberia, Lara races against time, uncovering deadly traps, buried truths, and a revelation that could change the world — or destroy it. What she discovers will test not only her strength, but the very reason she fights.
