English Summary/英文概要： When archaeologist Lucy Morgan uncovers a 7000-year-old tomb on a dig in a remote part of Israel, she realises she has stumbled across something important - something that means history will have to be entirely re-written. That’s before she’s knocked unconscious. Pastor Robert Paterson, head of one of America’s biggest fundamentalist churches, has known of such discoveries for some time but in his eyes these skeletons are not aliens but angels. In Washington DC, detectives Nicola Lopez and Pete Lucas come across three emaciated bodies, rotting in a sweltering apartment. So why is it that further inspection reveals them to have died of hypothermia? And what is the link between these bodies and the strange young man currently recuperating in Patterson’s high-security hospital? With so much at stake only one man can be called upon to help. Ethan Warner has seen action in both Iraq and Afghanistan - a war veteran, he had hoped to put his action days behind him - but when he is asked by Lucy’s mother to help find her, he knows he cannot let her down. After all, he too has someone missing out there - someone for whom he would give his life. In a furious race against time, Ethan is determined to rescue Lucy and to unmask Patterson as the crazed demagogue he is, but little does he realise just what is at stake...
