More about the book

Joseph Reyna's prequel to Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is an action thriller shaped by 20 years of research, blending historical science fiction with contemporary elements. The story opens with a controversial exorcism during a hurricane in Central America, where Joshua, a priest with unconventional views on exorcism, finds himself embroiled in unexpected chaos. He is soon "rescued" by Teryk, an excommunicated priest and exorcist who grapples with vivid memories of being Judas Iscariot during Jesus' crucifixion. Together with a diverse cast from an underground high-tech society, they seek to validate Teryk's claims about his time-travel experience. The narrative challenges readers to reconsider the Old Testament as a retelling of events from as far back as 12,000 years ago, especially in light of recently uncovered pyramids and cities. While some may find the extensive research provocative or offensive, open-minded readers will discover thought-provoking questions about the nature of truth and fiction. Ultimately, the story invites contemplation on whether truth can indeed be stranger than fiction, as famously suggested by Mark Twain.
