Publisher's Summary

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.

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.

The full list of narrators includes: Eric Pierpoint, Emily Adams, Stephen Mendel, Alexis Evans, Kerrie Keane, Jackson White, Terri Treas, Francesca Ling, Jackie Mah, Jeff Marcus, Kenneth Johnson, Nelson Estevez, and Susan Appling.

Astonished, I couldn't finish book by fav author !

To my ear, the narrator"s interpretation of character voices put me off listening at all. The voices were harsh, then whiney supposedly German (?) accents.
I've loved every book by this author, audio books everyone, except for this novel, I found it to be a dreadful listen.

Thought provoking

I found this thought provoking and intriguing. I was constantly amazed at the twisting of history- or was it? This book certainly grabbed my attention. The audio version was amazing and the drive to work seemed a lot shorter than normal. Money well spent and I have a feeling it will be one book I come back to again.

Great story line

Really enjoyed this audible book, great storyline and character were varied and interesting. Book was not to predictable however story did not need to have child abuse scene as vivid and as detail as it I was and I was quite cranky and upset by that detailed part of book otherwise 98% worth reading or listening to in my case. Cheers

Fantastic

What can I say this book was one out of the box. A great story with food for thought on religion without taking anything away from the whole book.
I hope there is a follow up to this story.
