"Johnson takes a big gamble by telling such a complex tale invoking
every genre imaginable while juggling distinct and deep
characterizations. The bet pays off, resulting in a story that will
be popular with book clubs and fun to discuss." -Associated Press
New York City, New Year's weekend, 2001. Jillian Guthrie, a
troubled young journalist, stumbles onto a tantalizing mystery: the
same man, unaged, stands alongside Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore
Roosevelt, and Gandhi in three different photographs spanning
eighty-five years of history. In another part of town, Will-an
enigmatic thirty-three-year-old of immense charm, wit, and
intelligence-looks forward to the new year with hope and
trepidation. Haunted by his secret past and shadowed by a dangerous
stranger, he finds himself the object of an intense manhunt
spearheaded by an ambitious Vatican emissary and an elderly former
UN envoy named Hanna. During the next forty-eight hours, a
catastrophic event unites Will, Jillian, and Hanna-and puts them in
the crosshairs of a centuries-old international conspiracy.
Together, the three must unravel an ancient curse that stretches
back two millennia and beyond, and face a primal evil that
threatens their lives and thousands more. Award-winning
science-fiction mastermind Kenneth Johnson blends epic adventure,
romance, and evocative drama into an intense supernatural thriller
rooted in one of the great untold legends of human history.
