I found this audio book on the shelf of my latest OBCZ at Starbucks. I was overjoyed, not because I want this title - in fact I don't like thriller much - but it's my first finding an audio book at an OBCZ. I can certainly use it for my bookboxes, and it felt like a big reward for my work at the OBCZs.

This set contains 13 CDs and is an unabridged version.

Lately, several thrillers (i.e., Tom Knox's The Genesis Secret) have taken potshots at religion, pitting sophistication and intellect against devotion and personal faith. In a departure from his time-shifting narratives about document-protecting secret societies (e.g., The Last Templar, The Sanctuary), Khoury's new novel challenges that dichotomy. During filming in Antarctica, a news crew witnesses a shimmering sphere, unexplainable by any scientific expert. Meanwhile, in Egypt, the broadcast of the event startles a group of Coptic priests, who recognize the symbol as identical to one rendered by a prominent priest visiting their monastery. Is the mysterious symbol a sign from God or a hoax to discredit the faithful? Speaking through Father Jerome, Khoury pitches an eloquent argument for the value of personal responsibility toward one another while maintaining careful stewardship of the earth. This is a thoughtful book with a powerful message and yet also a thrilling read with compelling, well-developed characters. Highly recommended.


This title is now registered and will be put into Carlissa's audio bookbox. Glad I can use this to swap out several enticing titles.
