He was not sent to change it. He was sent to write it down.
JERUSALEM, AD 68. TWO YEARS BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION.
Something came through a fissure in the Judean hills. It was alive. No human on earth has immunity to it.
Ray Mercer, an investigative reporter reduced to shooting furnace commercials, follows a dead friend's files to that hillside. Weeks later, a secret government program sends him through the fissure to learn who gets sick and what kills them.
Someone back here wants the organism. A pharmaceutical interest wants Ray to carry it out alive. Its people may have killed the friend who sent him. They have already driven a program scientist to suicide. And a terror group wants the organism as a bioweapon.
On the other side in ancient Israel, Ray is trapped in the most dangerous city on earth. Zealots put knives into their rivals in the Temple courts. Rival factions burn the grain that could feed the city. And the Roman legions are coming, to crucify anyone caught escaping, five hundred a day.
A widow named Tirzah takes him in. A nine-year-old girl named Shalva steals his heart. Both belong to a small community called the Way, led by a man who was a boy when Rome crucified his cousin.
Ray knows the date. The tenth of Av, AD 70. The day the Temple burns.
He can't stop it. He was never supposed to try.
But he can get them out, if they believe him before history proves him right. And if he ever makes it home, the people who want the organism will be waiting.
