Book description
It's not a myth. It exists. Find it.
Ambitious geologist Ross Kelly has it all:a lucrative career
searching for oil across the world and a beautiful, brilliant wife,
Lauren, pregnant with their first child. But when Lauren, a Yale
academic, deciphers the university's mysterious Voynich manuscript,
which has confounded experts for centuries, everything changes.
An attempt to steal her translation of the Voynich leaves Lauren and
their unborn child hovering on the brink of death, and Ross in the
depths of despair. Encounters with a sinister Vatican priest and then
a mysterious nun convince Ross to seek salvation in the
four-and-a-half-centuries-old manuscript, which chronicles the
ill-fated discovery of a mythic, fabulous garden, deep in the jungles
of the New World:an Eden so terrible and miraculous it rewrites the
book of Genesis and defies all reason.
Although everyone tells him the story is surely an allegory, the
possibility of the garden's existence offers Ross the only hope of
saving Lauren and their unborn child. With a ragbag group of
confederates, each with their own motivations, he decides to seek the
garden out before it's too late.
But he is not alone.
Racing against time, a lethal assassin and a fanatical priest
desperate to claim the miraculous garden for his church, Ross's quest
will lead him eventually to a place that might challenge everything he
ever thought about the source of life on earth.
Michael Cordy worked for ten years in marketing before giving it all
up to write. He lives in London with his wife and daughter.
