Long ago in ancient times, the Golden Capstone, placed on top of the Great Pyramid at Giza during a rare solar event called the Tartarus Rotation, would prevent the world from coming to destruction by worldwide flooding and solar scorching. However, according to the legend, whosoever accomplished the task would gain absolute power over the world for a thousand years, prompting Alexander the Great to break the Capstone into seven pieces and hide them in the Seven Wonders of the World. Now, in 2006, the event of the Tartarus Rotation is about to roll around again, and race is on for the nations of the world to find and assemble the Capstone in order to gain ultimate power, including the U.S., Europe and the Vatican, greedy terrorists, and a coalition of seven small nations who think that no single country ought to have power of that magnitude. This coalition assembles an eight-person team led by Australian Indiana Jones-type Jack West Jr. to not only find the seven Capstone pieces, but outwit their other contenders in the process.
