Synopsis: Tom Bohannon's discovery of an ancient scroll led him on an international adventure and through mysteries of faith and politics, ending in a place not even he could imagine: the Third Temple of God hidden under Temple Mount in Jerusalem.  But soon after his remarkable discovery, the future of the world changed again.  Tom watched as a chasm tore apart Temple Mount, as new rivers swept through the Kidron Valley and into the streets of Old Jerusalem, their discovery swallowed by an earthquake, crushed under tons of stone and debris.  A biblical prophecy realized.  The final days were upon them.

Wondering how to recover from such a momentous find and such horrendous destruction, Tom's adventures are not over. No one knows how much time is left in these last days-a year? A hundred years? A thousand? Plagued by murderous dreams, Tom fears members of the Prophet Guard-killers who wear the Coptic cross with a lightning bolt slashing through it-are back and looking for him.  But they are not the only threat to Tom and his team.  Forces behind the Arab Spring have sinister plans.  And underestimating their determination would be a fatal mistake.

Review: I put this book under History Corner today, as you may find yourself hunting the internet to see what parts of the book are based on fact, or hunting the bible to research books that are quoted. This book is actually the sequel to The Sacred Cipher (which I had not read), but you do not have to have read the previous book to enjoy this one. In fact, I suggest ignoring the name list at the beginning of the book, and just jumping in on page 1.  You may have to refer to the list later, but I never did.

This was an interesting look at how forces can be working behind the scenes in more ways than one (ie plot upon plot upon plot), so that what we see is not the truth. And even if the truth is exposed, there are still lies and back stories to uncover. The book is very timely and may give you more to pause at when reading, hearing or watching the news.I sense a book 3 may come about and I am off to read book one! Check out this book and you might be hooked like I was!
