In 1889, one of the worst environmental disasters to befall the
United States occurred in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. More than 2,200
people died when a poorly maintained sporting dam gave way and
destroyed the town.
Only minutes before the catastrophe, a nineteen-year-old girl
enters a church in Johnstown, puts a letter into a bottle, and
places it inside a safe. In the year 2009, that safe is unearthed.
The letter reveals that the author knew of the impending flood. At
the same time, laboratory experiments in Russia have far-reaching
implications. In what could prove to be the scientific discovery of
the ages, researchers uncover a rare genetic mutation that could
scientifically explain the clairvoyant powers exhibited by prophets
of old.
At the epicenter of the ensuing maelstrom, Dr. Victor Mark
Silverstein, the Naval Research Laboratory's preeminent scientist,
and his loyal assistant tangle with greedy U.S. senators, the CIA,
and a Middle Eastern organization for verification and control of
the "prophecy gene." The hunt begins for a present-day carrier who
could confirm the gene's potential and prompt development of a
synthetic replacement. At stake is theological chaos for the
world's religions-and the power to control the planet.
