Since discovering an ancient scroll in a cave in Hebron,
Israel, American biblical archeologist Thomas Hamilton and
his trusted friend and colleague, Israeli biblical
linguist Michael Sieff, have been consumed with the notion
of the Samson Effect—the idea that a long-lost elixir can
allow an ordinary person to perform superhuman feats. When
they happen upon a worn Hebrew parchment that not only
confirms the existence of the Samson Effect but could
potentially lead them to its source, the scholars embark
on an impassioned crusade for the truth behind the myth.
But Hamilton and Sieff aren’t the only ones intent
on uncovering the secret of Samson’s strength. An
unrelenting sect of Jewish protectors will let no one
stand in the way of their mission to reclaim what they had
hidden nearly three thousand years ago, and a brilliant
but ruthless Palestinian leader will stop at nothing to
find and use the Samson Effect to empower his army of
soldiers for a jihad against the world in the name of
Allah. It isn’t long before their joint pursuit
becomes a deadly one, and Hamilton and Sieff come to the
grim realization that the Samson Effect is more powerful
and far-reaching than they ever anticipated. In the wrong
hands, it could trigger a worldwide catastrophe. A
chilling and suspenseful tale of political and religious
intrigue set in the unforgiving landscape of the Middle
East, The Samson Effect wanders the boundaries of
obsession and love, betrayal and allegiance, and vengeance
and justice.
