What if you could bio-engineer the next great world prophet:
scientifically produce the next Buddha, the next Muhammad,
or even the next Jesus? Would it mark the Second Coming or
initiate a chain reaction with disastrous consequences?
A master at combining historical and religious intrigue with
edge-of-your-seat adventure, New York Times bestselling
author James Rollins brings back Sigma Force to battle a
group of rogue scien tists who've unleashed a bioengineering
project that could bring about the extinction of humankind.
In Washington D.C., a homeless man dies in Commander Gray
Pierce's arms, shot by an assassin's bullet. But the death
leaves behind a greater mystery: a bloody coin found
clutched in the dead man's hand, an ancient relic that
traces back to the Greek Oracle of Delphi. As ruthless
hunters search for the stolen artifact, Gray Pierce
discovers the coin is the key to unlocking a plot that dates
back to the Cold War, one that threatens the very foundation
of humanity.
For an international think-tank of scientists known as the
JASONS has discovered a way to bioengineer autistic children
who show savant talents – mathematical geniuses, statistical
masterminds, brilliant conceptual artists – into something
far greater and far more frightening, all in hopes of
creating a world prophet for the new millennium, one to be
manipulated to create a new era of global peace...a peace on
their own terms.
While halfway around the world, a man wakes up in a hospital
bed with no memory of who he is, only that he's a prisoner
in a subterranean research facility. With the help of three
unusual children, he makes his escape across a mountainous
and radioactive countryside, pursued by savage hunters bred
in the same laboratory. But his goal is not escape, nor even
survival. In order to thwart a plot to wipe out a quarter of
the world's population, he must sacrifice all, even the
children who rescued him.
From ancient Greek temples to glittering mausoleums, from
the slums of India to the toxic ruins of Russia, two men
must race against time to solve a mystery that dates back to
the first famous oracle of history – the Greek Oracle of
Delphi.
