At the moment of his supreme triumph, a man of science dodges an assassin's bullet and loses everything that truly matters in his life. Now only a miracle can save Dr. Tom Carter's dying daughter: the blood of salvation shed twenty centuries ago.
In the volatile heart of the Middle East, amid the devastating secrets of an ancient brotherhood awaiting a new messiah, Tom Carter must search for answers to the mysteries that have challenged humankind since the death and resurrection of the greatest Healer who ever walked the Earth. Because suddenly Carter's life, the life of his little girl, and the fate of the world hang in the balance...
After two thousand years, the wait is over...
"Clever twists, plenty of action, and a whizbang climax... (Cordy) keeps pages turning until the last revelation."

People got upset over Dan Brown's premise in The Da Vinci Code that this book was overlooked. The passing on of Jesus' genes were mentioned in this book in 1997 and that his lineage was alive today. This book has a more sinister story line and just as good to read as Brown's book and scarier. I read it in hard copy and again in the paperback. A can't put down novel

A fun adventure/history/religion novel. Reminded me of the DaVinci code.

Orginally published as The Miracle Strain, the publishers changed the title to capitalize on the latest craze of pseudo-religious based fiction started by The DaVinci Code. The new title, though, doesn't stray far at all from the theme. Very well written, great twisting plot lines, and an ending that leaves you thinking there just might be hope for the human race.
