The first book in the series (THE HUNTERS) features a diverse cast of characters. Financed by a mysterious philanthropist, this elite team -- a soldier (Jack Cobb), an historian (Jasmine Park), a computer whiz (Hector Garcia), a weapons expert (Josh McNutt), and a thief (Sarah Ellis) -- was asked to locate a Romanian train filled with riches that disappeared in Russia during World War I. The collection is now valued at over $3.5 billion. Despite several attempts to find it, its location has remained a mysteryโฆuntil now.
The second book was called THE FORBIDDEN TOMB, and it was released in 2014. Tasked with finding the legendary tomb of Alexander the Great and the extraordinary riches that were rumored to be buried with him, the Hunters encountered hostile forces that would do anything to stop them. Before long, the treasure hunt became a deadly rescue mission with hundreds dead and a city in ruins. As the death toll continued to mount, the team was forced to rise to the challenge to find the ultimate prize.
The third book in the series was called THE PRISONER'S GOLD, and it was released in 2015. At the end of the 13th century, Chinese Emperor Kublai Khan gave an Italian merchant unfettered access to his kingdom. The traveler was Marco Polo, and his journey would become legendary. Aided by a special passport that protected him throughout the land, Polo amassed unbelievable wealth and hid it before his return to Italy. Guided by firsthand accounts of Polo's travels, the Hunters quickly discovered there was a criminal empire willing to do anything to stop them from taking the riches from Chinese soil.
Praise for Chris Kuzneski and THE HUNTERS series:
James Patterson, #1 national bestselling authorโโChris Kuzneskiโs writing has the same raw power as the early Stephen King.โ
Clive Cussler, #1 national bestselling authorโโChris Kuzneski writes as forcefully as his tough characters act.โ

James Rollins, New York Times bestselling authorโโChris Kuzneski writes with an energy that is contagious! Action, suspense, mystery, and a biting thread of humor.... What more can you ask from a novel?โ
Steve Berry, #1 international bestselling authorโโKuzneski does it again with another terrific tale, filled with action and suspense, bringing the unimaginable to life. Definitely my kind of story!โ
Scott Mariani, #1 international bestselling authorโโTHE HUNTERS kicks off a brilliant new series from Chris Kuzneski. Adventure, history, mystery, and moreโeverything youโd want in a thriller!โ
The Daily Mail (UK)โโTHE HUNTERS is taut and fierceโwith a cast of agreeably idiosyncratic characters. It feels like the draft of a movie, and it could just be Kuzneskiโs breakthrough novel. It deserves to be.โ
Herald Sun (Australia)โโTHE HUNTERS is Mission: Impossible on steroids. The first in a new series, Kuzneski brings together a super-expert crew of renegades to track down a lost treasure, sent into hiding in 1916 and never seen again. . . Itโs all about the action, which never stops. Half the fun is imagining the all-star cast for the movie that was clearly in Kuzneskiโs mind. Final verdict: Thrill Ride.โ
Chris Kuzneski is the #1 international bestselling author of twelve novels. His thrillers have been translated into more than twenty languagesย and have sold millions of copies worldwide. One of his books (THE HUNTERS) is currently being made into a major motion picture, and anotherย (THE PRISONERโS GOLD) won an ITW Thriller Award for Book of the Year.
Armed with witty prose, a unique narrative voice, and a penchant for blackmail, Kuzneski has garnered praise from many of the top authors in theย world: James Patterson, Nelson DeMille, Lee Child, Vince Flynn, James Rollins, Tess Gerritsen, Douglas Preston, Lisa Gardner, Steve Berry, Scottย Mariani, Allison Brennan, W.E.B. Griffin, Graham Brown, Boyd Morrison, John Gilstrap, Raymond Khoury, David Morrell, Andrew Gross, Josephย Finder, Jeremy Robinson, Jon Land, and his writing idol, Clive Cussler.
Simply put, his books are awesome.
A former football player at the University of Pittsburgh, Kuzneski worked as a journalist until he realized it was easier to make stuff up in the comfortย of his own home. He has been writing fiction ever since. The only thing that has slowed him down is his obvious need for a pen name, since mostย people don't know how to spell or pronounce 'Kuzneski'.
