The time is December 1999. Millennial fever holds the world in its
grip--stirring ancient and terrible fears that the apocalypse is at
hand.
In the Sinai desert, archeologist Catherine Alexander just unearthed a
cache of six ancient papyrus scrolls that point to the millennium's most
transforming secret. Discovered inside the legendary Well of Miriam, a
site named after the ancient prophetess who was the sister of Moses, the
scrolls reveal a hidden history of the world and its religions--a series
of shattering revelations that governments will do anything to suppress,
and that an enigmatic billionaire named Miles Havers will do anything to
possess.
But there is more: a seventh scroll that contains a secret of almost
unimaginable power. It is a secret that may cost Catherine her life as
she dodges government agents, Vatican operatives, and cyberspace perils
in her race to translate the scrolls and release their powers to the
world.
Aided by two very different and compelling men, Dr. Julius Voss and
Father Michael Garibaldi, Catherine finds herself caught up in the
adventure of a lifetime and a struggle that she must win.
