FEATURING AN EXCLUSIVE EXTRACT OF SCOTT MARIANI'S NEW NOVEL, THE ARMADA LEGACY
In the seventh bestselling Ben Hope conspiracy thriller, the action
shoots back in time to the days of Jesus Christ - and a buried secret
that has staggering implications for the world as we know it…
Returning to the UK to try to sort out his stormy personal life, Ben
runs into two old friends. Simeon and Michaela were once his fellow
students at Oxford - now they are The Reverend and Mrs Arundel.
Ben senses that Simeon is deeply troubled and frightened, but before
the truth can emerge about his secretive research project concerning a
mysterious, ancient 'sacred sword', both he and Michaela are wiped out
in a devastating road crash. Convinced that his friends' deaths were no
accident, Ben is propelled on a global quest from the UK to France, the
Holy Land and America to unlock the enigma of the sacred sword. At every
step, he is pursued by ruthless agents of the sinister organisation that
will stop at nothing to acquire it.
In the course of his investigations, Ben will discover an incredible
