Another cutting-edge thriller set at the intersection of
science, religion, and history from the bestselling author
of The Last Templar
New York Times
bestselling author Raymond Khoury— whose debut novel, The
Last Templar, has sold more than a million copies in the
United States, and whose second, The Sanctuary, was
also a major national bestseller—returns with The
Sign. Like the first two, this new thriller combines
gripping contemporary suspense with a high-concept mystery
rooted in history, philosophy, religion, and science. And
like those novels, it is bound for bestseller lists
nationwide.
In Antarctica, a scientific expedition
drops anchor for a live news feed. As the CNN journalist
begins her report, a massive, shimmering sphere of light
suddenly appears in the sky, enveloping the ship in luminous
white light before disappearing as mysteriously as it
arrived—the entire event witnessed by an incredulous world
audience.
Meanwhile in a dusty bar in Egypt, a dozen
men are lazily discussing the state of the world when the
brilliant, glowing symbol on the television stops them cold.
One man breaks out in a sweat, crosses himself repeatedly,
and rushes out of the bar muttering the same phrase over and
over again: It can’t be.
Across the Internet
and around the globe, a stunning controversy threatens to
consume the world: Has God finally decided to reveal
himself? Or is something more sinister at hand?
