In the 1850s, a madman proclaims himself the Son of God and raises
an army, taking over half of China. A century and a half later, his
descendent and legions of devoted followers plan to take over more
than just China. When alpine engineer and mountaineer Jason Quinn,
a man with a past mired in tragedy and violence, meets archeologist
Dr. Eva Rayjek after a plane crash in the high Himalaya, neither of
them are expecting wave after wave of Chinese assassins. Pursued to
America, the frozen ice of the Gulf of Finland, and the heights of
Hong Kong, Quinn and Eva connect her investigations with the
machinations of charismatic shipping magnate and cathedral-builder,
David Hong. As a scheme to obtain a private audience with the Pope
at the Vatican comes to fruition, Hong's fanatical followers are
preparing for global warfare. If Quinn fails to stop Hong's plan,
the entire Catholic Church just might crumble. RESURRECT is the
first book in the Jason Quinn series. Fans of Matthew Reilly,
Jeremy Robinson, James Rollins, and Clive Cussler should all enjoy
this first adventure in the exploits of mountaineer Jason Quinn.
PRAISE FOR GILMOUR: "RESURRECT by Kane Gilmour is a smart, taut
thriller that takes the genre forged by Clive Cussler and makes it
fresh again. The combination of history, conspiracy and explosive
action makes the book impossible to put down. Highly recommended "
-Jeremy Robinson, bestselling author of INSTINCT and THRESHOLD
