Publisher's Synopsis
A TANGIBLE LINK TO A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN HUMAN HISTORY
IN THE RACE TO DISCOVER A LEGENDARY BIBLICAL ARTIFACT, OMEGA TEAM ENCOUNTERS THE SINGLE MOST VALUABLE SECRET OF ALL TIME... IN THE 4TH INSTALLMENT OF THE BESTSELLING OMEGA FILES SERIES, THE TEAM COMES FACE-TO-FACE WITH A MENACING NEW FOE... Jerusalem, A.D. 33 As Jesus is crucified, a skilled craftsman discreetly conceals a meticulously crafted wooden box within a nearby cave. After a tragic misunderstanding, its location is lost to the past. Present-day Afghanistan When former US Navy specialists Carter Hunt and Jayden Takada join forces with acclaimed archaeologist Dr. Madison Chambers, they expect a routine transfer of artifacts from a desert excavation site to a city museum. Instead, they plunge into the shadows of a vast black market antiquities operation. But there's more at stake than just preserving history: a radical Taliban faction seeks fragments of the fabled True Cross of Jesus, believing that uniting them will bestow unparalleled might. From the treacherous mountain caverns of Kandahar to the hallowed halls of Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the sunken hulk of a Russian destroyer deep in the Black Sea, the Omega Team's pursuit is fraught with peril. With each relic they secure, the snare of danger tightens around them. PRAISE FOR THE OMEGA FILES SERIES★★★★★ Chesler has done it again.
