Second Coming by C.D. Speer
What if the most sacred relic in history concealed the blueprint for humanity's greatest-and most dangerous-experiment?
Dr. Steven Sparks, a brilliant but restless scientist, stumbles on an unthinkable discovery: fragments of intact DNA hidden deep within the Shroud of Turin. With his old friend, Professor David Ferguson-a historian and archaeologist-and Ferguson's sharp-minded girlfriend Sarah, Sparks launches a secret project in Austin, Texas, that could rewrite human destiny.
As the trio pushes the boundaries of faith and science, they find powerful allies in the enigmatic businesswoman Drake and loyal legal counsel from Sarah's brother. But secrecy has its price. The Vatican suspects something has been stolen. A shadowy operative stalks their every move. And within their circle, doubt grows-could their miracle creation be salvation...or the Antichrist?
Against the backdrop of Downtown Austin dining, Texas nights, and clandestine lab sessions, personal lives intertwine. Sparks falls for Nancy Romano, a devoted teacher whose role in the project may change everything. Friendships are tested, love blossoms, faith falters, and morality bends under the weight of ambition.
By Christmas Eve, under the glow of emergency lights during a fierce Texas storm, a child is born-a clone created from the Shroud of Turin. But in Nancy's arms, as the newborn's eyes open, no one can answer the most haunting question of all: what have they brought into the world?
Second Coming is a gripping fusion of science fiction, thriller, and spiritual suspense-the first in a daring new series that will leave readers questioning the line between creation and science.
