For centuries, people have speculated about the fabled
lost libraries of antiquity. If one were found, what
marvels would it contain? Now a fearless team of
adventurers is about to unearth that long-hidden secret,
and it will lead them to the most astonishing discovery
ever made.
In the treacherous waters off the rugged
Sicilian coast, marine archaeologist Jack Howard and his
team of scientific experts and ex-Special Forces commandos
make a shocking find while searching for the legendary
shipwreck of the apostle Paul. And when a second artifact
is uncovered in the ruins of a buried city, Jack is on the
verge of a discovery that could shake the world to its
foundations: the handwritten words of Jesus Christ
himself.
As he follows a hunch from the dying
confession of an emperor to the burial crypt of a medieval
pagan queen, Jack is chasing a conspiracy whose web
stretches to the highest levels of international power–and
he will have to risk everything to stop the controversial
document from falling into the hands of a shadowy
brotherhood determined to fulfill their murderous vows.
