Jack Cane's life changed forever the day both of his
parents were killed in a tragic car accident. As the son of
two archaeologists, Jack enjoyed traveling around the world
going from one dig to another. But his parent's lives are
cut short the day their vehicle plunges into a ravine. Jack
barely survives the accident, but vows to continue the work
his parents cherished. When Jack discovers an ancient
scroll dating back to the time of Jesus Christ, he makes a
startling discovery-- Jesus Christ was executed for
impersonating the true messiah.
Jack's shocking discovery could prove to be the archaeological
discovery of the century, but before Jack can properly
translate the entire scroll, it mysteriously disappears.
Matters take a turn for the worse, when Professor Green,
Jack's mentor, who had the scroll, is found stabbed to
death with Jack's knife. Jack becomes the prime suspect of
the Israeli police, even his old flame, Lela Raul, believes
Jack might be guilty of killing the professor and stealing
the scroll. But The Israeli police are not the only ones
hot on Jack's heels. The Vatican will utilize every weapon
at their disposal to make sure the scroll is found and its
content sealed forever.
The Vatican's involvement in finding the scroll and keeping
its content secret is one of the most fascinating aspects
of the novel. The Vatican is not only worried about the
earth shattering revelation that could be made public if
the scroll is found, but Pope Celestine and several of his
cardinals share a secret that is just as explosive as the
revelation about Jesus Christ. Thomas Becket, now Pope
Celestine, is the Catholic Church's newly elected American
pope. But his shocking decision to make all papal records
available to the public has created enemies for him inside
and outside the Vatican walls. The Vatican's first American
pope has even been accused of being the antichrist that
will destroy the Catholic faith.
THE SECOND MESSIAH reads at a breathtaking, frantic pace
from beginning to end. Readers will read with bated breath
as Jack attempts to outrun one assassin after another in
order to preserve the truth about Jesus Christ that has
been kept from the public since the time of his
crucifixion. THE SECOND MESSIAH is a daring work of fiction
that will have people talking. Glenn Meade offers plenty
of action, intrigue, betrayals, and secrets that will make
you want to breeze through this book in a day. In the
Author's Note, Glenn Meade writes that the mysterious
scroll is not a work of fiction. A scroll was indeed found
at the location mentioned in the book, but its contents
have never been disclosed by the Vatican. For anyone who
has ever thought the Vatican is privy to a secret which
change destroy the Catholic faith, this is the book for you!
In the desert near Jerusalem, an archaeologist is murdered
after he uncovers stunning evidence in a Dead Sea scroll
about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The
two-thousand-year-old parchment containing enigmatic
references to not one but two messiahs is stolen before it
can be fully translated. In Rome, a charismatic American
priest with long-hidden secrets is elected pope, setting off
widespread panic among some of the faithful who question
whether he is the anti-Christ or the world’s new savior. As
the conspiracy over the scroll explodes into a political and
religious standoff, two people find themselves on the run,
trying to stay one step ahead of unknown assassins in their
search for truth. Archaeologist Jack Cane and Israeli police
inspector Lela Raul must solve the mystery of the Second
Messiah and uncover the real secret behind the message of
Jesus before they are permanently silenced and the scroll
and its contents are forever lost to humanity.
