During an archaeological dig in Israel a tomb is discovered with a skeleton, which while resembling modern man, is far larger and more intricate than of modern times. Archaeologist Dr Lucy Morgan realises that this is a significant find and that will have a serious impact on the scientific community.

Before she can do anything about it she is abducted and plunged into a world of madness, DNA cloning and a multinational society backed by a religious movement in America.

Enter hero Ethan Warner, former Middle East correspondent who knows what it’s like to be in the action first hand. He reluctantly agrees to try to find Lucy but before long realises the game is far greater and more complex that even he though.

When Lucy finally wakes from her drugged sleep she realise there is someone else in the room. She watches in horror as the man regains consciousness only to die in a truely shocking manner.

 

Three deaths which appear to have been drug related have taken place in in Washington DC that have the local cops puzzled as to why, when the third body, which has no traces of drug addiction but under post mortem examination shows signs of recent dental work and blood transfusions, is with the other two, they begin to question what is happening in Washington. What has this got to do with Lucy Morgan and the 7000 year old Skeleton? Is there a connection?

Add the theory that there was extra-terrestrial help in building the pyramids of Egypt and other concepts, a good dose of history, the mysterious regions of the middle east, a cultist church hiding behind a modern day drug company and you have got a super-plot which challenges world peace and can create a catastrophe which may well tear the world apart.

What is the secret of mankind and is it hidden in the mysterious skeleton which dates back more than 7000 years.

Join Ethan Warner as he takes on the worst the world has to offer in the gripping, un-put-down-able first novel from Dean Crawford.
