IT’S THE BIGGEST DISCOVERY IN HISTORY . . . BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS MAN WAS NEVER MEANT TO KNOW. When archaeologist Lucy Morgan uncovers a seven-thousand-year-old tomb holding remains alien to our world, she realizes she has stumbled upon something important—something with the potential to rewrite history. But before Lucy can retrieve the remains, she’s abducted.
A former war correspondent in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ethan Warner has seen much action in the line of fire. Now back home in Chicago, he’s hoping to finally pick up the pieces of his broken life and begin to lead a more normal existence. But when called upon by Lucy’s family to help find her, he knows he cannot let them down. Especially since he knows firsthand what it’s like to have a loved one go missing.
Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., detectives Nicola Lopez and Lucas Tyrell are called to an abandoned building to check out a possible homicide. What at first glance appears to be the bodies of overdose victims in a crack den is instead something more sinister. How is it possible that these emaciated, naked bodies—rotting in the sweltering heat of August—show signs of hypothermia?
Working independently, Ethan and the detectives each discover that a shadowy corporation may have something to do with Lucy’s disappearance and the mysterious bodies. And Ethan soon realizes that it’s not just Lucy’s life that’s at stake but the fate of the world, and he must risk everything to stop those willing to alter the course of history, before it’s too late.
In the tradition of books by Michael Crichton and James Rollins, Covenant combines science, suspense, and ingenious speculation to create an action-packed blockbuster not to be missed.
Review
"Get the cameras rolling—Indiana Jones meets Alien. What a combination of mystery, suspense, and unspeakable horror. I loved it!" —R.L. Stine
Review
"With scarily realistic science, earth-shattering intrigue and hyperdrive action, Covenant marks the launch of a major new talent in the thriller world.” —Scott Mariani, author of The Mozart Conspiracy
Synopsis
In the tradition of Michael Crichton and James Rollins comes a fast-paced debut thriller featuring a missing archeologist, a fundamentalist preacher, and a mysterious tomb.
When archaeologist Lucy Morgan uncovers a 7000-year-old tomb on a dig in a remote part of Israel, she realizes she has stumbled across something important—something that means history will have to be entirely re-written. And she isn’t the only one who is curious about these remains…they seem to be non-human. That’s before she disappears.
Pastor Robert Paterson, head of one of America’s biggest fundamentalist churches, has known of such discoveries for some time, but in his eyes these skeletons are not aliens but Angels. He is determined to see God’s Angels resurrected on Earth with the help of his team of scientists.
Former war correspondent Eddie Warner has seen much action in the line of fire. He had hoped to lead a more quiet existence, but when Lucy’s family asks him to help find her, he can’t say no. After all, he too has someone missing out there—someone he once loved and for whom he would give his life.
Fresh, original, and an old-fashioned page-turner, Covenant is an exciting new addition to the world of thrillers.
