Blurb (from back cover): "When American geneticist Charlotte Hennesey examined what she believed were the remains of Jesus, the Vatican buried her discovery. But the DNA Charlotte extracted from the sacred bones and injected into her own body has eliminated every trace of the cancer that was devouring her from within. And it has given her the power to perform medical miracles.
"Now wheels have been set in motion that will have cataclysmic consequences for the volatile Middle East and all humankind. A two-thousand-year-old destiny is about to be fulfilled-resulting in the brazen kidnapping of Charlotte Hennesey, and ensaring Israeli archaeologist Amit Mizrachi and noted Eqyptologist Julie LeRouz in an ancient mystery centered around the world's most powerful relic. As zealots plot to rip the Holy Land asunder, the race begins to avert the unthinkable-for the armies gathering to meet on the hills of Meggido can mean only one thing: Armageddon!"
Opinion: I'm not for religious concepts in fictional pieces of work. It is an interesting concept but I wasn't blown away by the book. For a more complete review please check out MyShelf.com in the upcoming months
