Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Patrick Massett and John Zinman

A mysterious dream leads Lara Croft to an ancient clock containing a secret left by her father—a clue to a legendary artifact capable of controlling time itself. But she's not the only one searching for it. A secret order known as the Illuminati is prepared to do anything to seize this power. From the jungles of Cambodia to the frozen ruins of Siberia, Lara races against time, facing 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.
