The Reluctant Messiah
A novel by Cassian Eldreth Dr. Elias Calder is finished with miracles, prophecy, and the academic world that branded him a fraud.
All he wants is to disappear into the Egyptian desert and dig until the past swallows him whole.One moonless night beneath the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, he breaks open a sealed Herodian-era jar that should never have existed. Inside is a two-thousand-year-old scroll written in Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew, carbon-dated to the time of Christ. The final lines contain his full name, his exact date of birth, and seven impossible signs he is destined to perform, ending with the sun shall stand still over Sinai.At first Elias laughs it off as the cruelest hoax imaginable.
Then the first sign happens on global livestream.
Then the second.
Then the third.Within days he is the most wanted man on Earth:
and when the sun stops over Mount Sinai, the world will never be the same.A heart-pounding archaeological thriller in the tradition of Dan Brown and Steve Berry, The Reluctant Messiah is a story of ancient prophecy colliding with modern terror, where one man must decide if he will fulfil a destiny written before he was born, or destroy the scroll and damn humanity to prove it wrong.Smart, sexy, and relentlessly suspenseful. You will not guess the ending.
Then the second.
Then the third.Within days he is the most wanted man on Earth:
- The Vatican dispatches its deadliest fixer to bury the evidence forever.
- An American megachurch cult of millions proclaims him the final prophet and prepares to crown him on live television.
- A rogue Israeli general sees the coming signs as the trigger for biblical borders and mobilises to make them come true, by force if necessary.
and when the sun stops over Mount Sinai, the world will never be the same.A heart-pounding archaeological thriller in the tradition of Dan Brown and Steve Berry, The Reluctant Messiah is a story of ancient prophecy colliding with modern terror, where one man must decide if he will fulfil a destiny written before he was born, or destroy the scroll and damn humanity to prove it wrong.Smart, sexy, and relentlessly suspenseful.
