What would you do if you came into possession of the DNA of Christ and had the ability to alter your genes so that you could cure all of the world’s sick?
Tom Carter is faced with this dilemma. The nobel prize winning scientist finds himself the target of a religious serial killer Nemesis trained by a secretive religious brotherhood who are cleansing the world of all blasphemers. Researching into DNA and genes makes Tom Carter the worst of them all. The brotherhood are also preparing for the return of the new Messiah as the sacred flame they have guarded for two thousand years is burning white as per the prophesy.
After a failed attempt to assassinate Tom, an uneasy alliance is formed when the brotherhood realise that Tom holds the key to finding the Messiah, and they in turn have the artificacts that Tom needs to extract Christ’s DNA so that he might save the life of his terminally ill daughter.
The directive to kill him is suspended, but Nemesis decides to take matters into her own hands and stop him before he can complete his quest.
Billed as ‘Jurassic Park meets the quest for the Holy Grail meets Raiders of The Lost Ark’ and since re-released under the title of “The Messiah Code” (off the back of The Da Vinci Code??), this book asks plenty of moral and ethical questions.
So, what would you do?
