IN A WORLD WHERE THE WORLD'S POWERS ARE LOCKED IN STRUGGLE, THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL WEAPON IS ABOUT TO BE UNVEILED . . . Jon Folan, a priest, a Vietnam vet, and a man of unshakable faith is chosen by the Pope for a frightening, lonely mission. In Jerusalem, a beautiful young archaeologist uncovers the ancient skeleton of a man and an Aramaic inscription which reads MELEK YEHUDAYAI King of the Jews. In the sun-seared land where men pray and kill, under the suspicious eyes of the Vatican, the United States, the Soviets, and the Israeli government, Folan is plunged into a world of doubt, intrigue, and temptation. He's a man fighting for his faith, for a woman, and for a dangerous truth . . . a truth that could shock the soul of millions and change the world forever.
