Ex-CIA agent and former mercenary Hawker goes into full
battle mode when an old friend who asked for his help is
murdered after being ruthlessly tortured. When the dead
scientist's fingerprints are found on a letter carrying a
deadly virus that was opened by a UN diplomat, Hawker finds
himself again teaming up with NRI operative Danielle
Laidlaw to expose the deadly secrets related to an ancient
scroll uncovered during the 1979 Iran crisis. What they
find is beyond comprehension -- the future of the entire
world is at stake.
Brown develops this stunning narrative at breakneck speed
with complex and compelling characters -- villains and
heroes -- which keeps readers turning the pages as fast as
the action unfolds. THE EDEN PROPHECY is his best novel, a
perfect combination of thrilling intrigue, fast action-
adventure and historical science.
The wisdom of faith. The power of science. The evil of man.
In the U.N. building in New York City, a U.S. Ambassador
contracts an unknown virus after opening a threatening
letter. In a slum near Paris, a rogue geneticist is found
dead, tortured and defiled. His last message, a desperate
plea for help, was sent to an old friend and fellow outcast,
the ex-CIA agent and former mercenary named Hawker. His
final legacy appears to be the fingerprints he left all over
the letter to the Ambassador.
Consumed by thoughts of revenge but fighting to see the
truth, Hawker teams up with NRI operative Danielle Laidlaw
on a quest to find the killers and track down the secrets
his dead friend may have lost or sold.
From the streets of Paris to an underground auction in the
catacombs of Beirut to the merciless deserts of Iran, Hawker
and Danielle find themselves hunting a murderous cult leader
whose scientific arsenal could lead humanity to a new
Eden—or unleash hell on the Earth itself.
