Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Raymond Khoury returns with a provocative, hard-hitting thriller ripped from the headlines and set at the intersection of science, religion, politics and history…
It appears out of nowhere in the skies above Antarctica—a blazing sphere of light that transforms into a mysterious symbol for all to see. Then, it vanishes. The world is enraptured by the event. Is the symbol man-made? Is it of extraterrestrial origin? Or is it a sign from God? The entire human race holds its breath, desperate for an answer—but will it be the one they're hoping for?
For reporter Gracie Logan, it's the story of a lifetime. And her search for the truth will lead her from an ancient monastery in the sands of Egypt to a megachurch in Texas and into a mystery that she may not survive.
For ex-con Matt Sherwood, it's a chance to redeem himself—and to find the men responsible for the death of his brother.
And for a few shady players in the corridors of power in Washington D.C., it's a chance to redefine the world—and to manipulate the relationship between religion and politics in America, for better, or for worse...
Customer Reviews
Words which won't be uttered in the real world.
While this book might have ventured into a bit of the absurd, it speaks to the reality of the times in which we have turned over power to the corporations and the mega-churches. We have forgotten the true meaning of the words of the prophets; Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindi, or even the basic rules of humanity - to love and respect each other. The book fairly presents that very message in an enjoyable read.
The sign
This book is a wild ride from the first page I really enjoyed it and now I am gonna have to go back and read all his other books. I got it in paperback and decided I had to have it on my iPad.
Good writing ... Massive agenda against Christianity
Very one sided case for Global Warming and Polytheism. He clearly has an agenda and seems to think he knows more about how we all need to live than everyone else ... His way! In the same breath, it is a good page turner with decent character development and an enjoyable read.
