Forget everything you think you know. Here is the mother of all
conspiracy thrillers, a secret that was written in blood at the dawn
of history...
2004: when violent Jihadists bomb a Masonic lodge in Istanbul, the
Turkish military enlist maverick British agent Toby Ashe to find the
cause of the attack.
Hurled into a tense race against the CIA to solve an intelligence
puzzle encompassing genetic research, a covert SAS mission, the true
origins of Freemasonry, and the strange disappearance of the leader
of a Kurdish mystical religion, Ashe must travel the globe in
pursuit of answers. What if the invasion of Iraq was nothing to do
with WMD?
What if America wasn't motivated by oil, or regime change? What if
the world's largest superpower was driven by a desire to find
something far more dangerous - a viral weapon passed down through history...
Explosive, fast-paced and brimming with expert knowledge of
everything from Freemasonry to genetics, Christian mythology to
military tactics, The Babylon Gene takes the conspiracy thriller to
a whole new level.
