Produktbeschreibung
In Washington, D.C., a homeless man takes an assassin's bullet and dies in Commander Gray Pierce's arms. A bloody coin clutched in the dead man's hand--an ancient relic that can be traced back to the Greek Oracle of Delphi--is the key to a conspiracy that dates back to the Cold War and threatens the very foundation of humanity. For what if it were possible to bioengineer the next great prophet--a new Buddha, Muhammad, or even Jesus? Would this Second Coming be a boon . . . or would it initiate a chain reaction that would result in the extinction of humankind? Vital seconds are ticking rapidly away as Pierce races across the globe in search of answers, one step ahead of ruthless killers determined to reclaim the priceless artifact. Suddenly the future of all things is balanced on the brink between heaven and hell--and salvation or destruction rests in the hands of remarkable children. Will the past be enough to save the future?
James Rollins treibt Sie bis ans Limit - und darüber hinaus! Direktor Painter Crowe und Commander Grayson Pierce kommen einer Verschwörung ohne Gleichen auf die Spur. Die CIA finanziert ein Projekt, bei dem Wissenschaftler paranormal aktive Kinder erschaffen haben. Einige können sogar einen Blick in die Zukunft werfen. Um die Kontrolle über dieses Projekt nicht zu verlieren, ist die CIA bereit, auch einen eigentlich befreundeten Geheimdienst zu vernichten - die SIGMA-Force! Doch während Painter Crowe verzweifelt den Angriff abwehrt, erkennt Grayson Pierce, dass die CIA längst die Kontrolle verloren hat. Denn ein junger Mann, selbst dem Labor der Wissenschaftler entstammend, will mithilfe der paranormal begabten Kinder die Weltherrschaft antreten. Als Messias will er die Menschheit aus der Asche der Zivilisation führen, nachdem er die Welt selbst in Brand gesetzt hat! Nur Commander Grayson Pierce - und ein tot geglaubter Freund - können die mörderischen Pläne noch stoppen
