Ethan Warner, a former war correspondent is on the road to
self destruction after resigning his commission. An old
friend asks for his help in finding a missing scientist, Dr.
Lucy Morgan who disappeared after she discovered non-human
remains in Israel. Ethan agrees to go but refuses to be put
on a leash by either government. He has been there done
that. He slips away from his Israeli watchdogs to find out
why they don't want him to find the doctor.
With the help of Lucy's mother and her contacts, Ethan put
to use his former skills to discover the truth. Back in the
Washington, detectives Tyrell and Lopez find three dead
bodies in an abandoned building that supposedly overdosed on
crack cocaine yet neither is convinced this is true. One of
the bodies has frostbite in near ninety temps, how is that
even remotely possible unless something else is going on and
that just what these detectives intend to find out. Pretty
soon these two investigations overlap and there are people
out there who would not appreciate either case getting
solved.
Blending science, murder, and the government is sure to make
for a good thriller. COVENANT has all these elements and
more to deliver a provocative book with enough surprises to
keep readers turning the pages for the dramatic conclusion.
IT’S THE BIGGEST DISCOVERY IN HISTORY . . . BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS MAN WAS NEVER MEANT TO KNOW. When archaeologist Lucy Morgan uncovers a seven-thousand-year-old tomb holding remains alien to our world, she realizes she has stumbled upon something important—something with the potential to rewrite history. But before Lucy can retrieve the remains, she’s abducted. A former war correspondent in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ethan Warner has seen much action in the line of fire. Now back home in Chicago, he’s hoping to finally pick up the pieces of his broken life and begin to lead a more normal existence. But when called upon by Lucy’s family to help find her, he knows he cannot let them down. Especially since he knows firsthand what it’s like to have a loved one go missing. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., detectives Nicola Lopez and Lucas Tyrell are called to an abandoned building to check out a possible homicide. What at first glance appears to be the bodies of overdose victims in a crack den is instead something more sinister. How is it possible that these emaciated, naked bodies—rotting in the sweltering heat of August—show signs of hypothermia? Working independently, Ethan and the detectives each discover that a shadowy corporation may have something to do with Lucy’s disappearance and the mysterious bodies. And Ethan soon realizes that it’s not just Lucy’s life that’s at stake but the fate of the world, and he must risk everything to stop those willing to alter the course of history, before it’s too late. In the tradition of books by Michael Crichton and James Rollins, Covenant combines science, suspense, and ingenious speculation to create an action-packed blockbuster not to be missed.
