Book description
Can science make a leap of faith? A wealthy businessman, issues a
global challenge to all biotechnology corporations: clone Jesus Christ.
As precious artefacts - the spearhead reputed to have been used to stab
Jesus on the cross, a piece of the cross itself, and the Shroud of Turin
- go missing from churches and private collections around the world,
three scientific groups start their top-secret experiments. Across town,
Michael Malone is a broken man. Once a respected priest, husband and
father to a beautiful daughter named Mary, he now spends most of his
time in a bar, drinking to drown the memory of the past. The unfortunate
chain of events he is so desperate to forget began years before with the
abduction of his daughter, and resulted in the loss of his wife - and
his faith. From behind the bar, a TV news item brings his terrible
memories flooding back. Malone embarks on a renewed quest to find his
daughter, unaware of the extraordinary things that lie ahead. Having
studied electronics, David moved into sales and management positions,
before travelling widely thorugh Europe and the US and finally settling
in New Zealand.
