Publisher's Synopsis
Book 3 in the Origins series "When darkness comes keep an eye on the light, no matter how far away it seems." These wise words are put to the ultimate test as time moves forward into the Middle Ages for the Lazarus crew. Hastelloy recalls for his therapist mankind's fall from the Golden Age of Rome into a darkness that humanity was powerless to escape for a thousand years. Evils both alien and human, near and far conspire against his best intentions. Meanwhile, Dr. Holmes is forced to question if humanity would still be mired in the dark without Hastelloy's help, or was the cure worse than the disease? Light and dark suddenly blend into shades of gray when NSA agent Mark Holmes finally comes face to face with Hastelloy in the present. Right and wrong are indistinguishable as these two men strive to progress their vision of the greater good, leaving Dr. Holmes to judge the merits of each man's case. It is a judgment that may never happen as an ancient threat is unearthed by a team of archeologists working at the tomb of China's first emperor. This time even Hastelloy and his crew may not be able to save humanity; not by themselves at least.
