THE LOST CODEX by Alan Jacobson - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Alan Jacobson.
In THE LOST CODEX two ancient and priceless biblical documents hold revelations that could change the world as we know it.
In
930 CE, a revered group of scholars pen the first sanctioned Bible,
planting the seed from which other major religions will grow. But in
1953, half the manuscript goes missing while being transported from
Syria. Around the same time, in the foothills of the Dead Sea, an
ancient scroll is discovered—and promptly stolen. Six decades later,
both parchments stand at the heart of a geopolitical battle between
foreign governments and radical extremists, threatening the lives of
millions.
With the American homeland under siege, the president
turns to a team of uniquely trained covert operatives that includes FBI
profiler Karen Vail, Special Forces veteran Hector DeSantos, and FBI
terrorism expert Aaron Uziel. Their mission: find the stolen documents
and capture—or kill—those responsible for unleashing a coordinated and
unprecedented attack on US soil. Set in Washington, DC, New York, Paris,
England, and Israel, The Lost Codex is international suspense at its finest.
“From
the first page, you know you’re in the hands of a storyteller at the
top of his game: The Lost Codex has nonstop action, living-breathing
characters, rich detail and sharp-as-a-knife prose. A brilliant job!”
—Jeffery Deaver, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“A
masterwork of international suspense, an enthralling mix of ancient
history and modern terrorism, with rich settings, vivid characters, and a
fascinating premise. From the opening chapter—in which a Dead Sea
scroll with a stunning secret is discovered—to the final shattering
twist, this is an outstanding novel from a major talent.” —Douglas Preston, bestselling author
“Incredibly
realistic. This is the way we did it in the SEAL Teams. It is so
true-to-life that it’s hard to believe it’s fiction. A fantastic story.”
—Robert “Dusty” Barton, UDT US NAVY SEALS (ret.)
