Inhaltsangabe
In the mid-16th century, Friar Diego de Landa was called back to Spain to account for his oversight of the conquistadors and their harsh treatment of the Native Americans living on the Yucatan Peninsula. During their forced conversion to Christianity, the Jesuit priest had burned the entire Mayan written history in one day, in a fiery Auto de Fe, citing eminent danger to the civilized world from these codified manifestos of devil worship and the culture of depravity they espouse. Just before this inauspicious event occurred, Nostradamus correctly predicted the influence it would assert over the distant future of Jerusalem. In the first half of the 20th century, Edgar Cayce repeatedly made reference to the Mayas' lost knowledge and mastery of celestial augury, the proof of which remains hidden to this day in an undiscovered hall of records. In 2029, as prophecy coalesces with a grand conspiracy to thwart the signing of the Palestinian Peace Accord, cutting-edge biogeneticist Dr. Benjamin Freeman finds himself at a personal and professional crossroads as he's grilled on the ethics of cloning before the senatorial committee that's out for his blood. He's under oath in front of the cameras but legally bound to non-disclosure with regard to the secret Vatican project he helmed for the CEO from Texas so many years ago. Freeman thought he was completing research on the forefront of regenerative medicine, but now, confusion sets in as he tries to assess the competing allegiances of a wealthy Saudi prince, an ex-Mossad intelligence chief, and the billionaire who recruited him to do the work. How does it all tie in with the recently announced peace agreement? And why, after two decades of concealment, has Biotronix continued to keep his groundbreaking feats of scientific success under wraps? Is his wife tramping around town with her old boyfriend or is she just another cog in the wheel of corporate deceit? Ben Freeman doesn't yet know what's truly at stake, but he fears for the life of his only child as he probes deeply into the dangerous details of the clandestine campaign, raising spectres from the past that kindle the ire of Bilderberg power brokers who will kill to keep them quiet.
