    About this audiobook

    “Johnson takes a big gamble by telling such a complex tale invoking every genre imaginable while juggling distinct and deep characterizations. The bet pays off, resulting in a story that will be popular with book clubs and fun to discuss.” —Associated Press

    New York City, New Year’s weekend, 2001. Jillian Guthrie, a troubled young journalist, stumbles onto a tantalizing mystery: the same man, unaged, stands alongside Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Gandhi in three different photographs spanning eighty-five years of history.

    In another part of town, Will—an enigmatic thirty-three-year-old of immense charm, wit, and intelligence—looks forward to the new year with hope and trepidation. Haunted by his secret past and shadowed by a dangerous stranger, he finds himself the object of an intense manhunt spearheaded by an ambitious Vatican emissary and an elderly former UN envoy named Hanna.

    During the next forty-eight hours, a catastrophic event unites Will, Jillian, and Hanna—and puts them in the crosshairs of a centuries-old international conspiracy. Together, the three must unravel an ancient curse that stretches back two millennia and beyond, and face a primal evil that threatens their lives and thousands more.

    Award-winning science-fiction mastermind Kenneth Johnson blends epic adventure, romance, and evocative drama into an intense supernatural thriller rooted in one of the great untold legends of human history.

      Oh yes, yes and yes! Read it. Listen to it. It is a song of faith and love. It is a riveting adventure!
    • 5/5
      Absolutely stellar production all around. Highly recommended just to experience the amazing narration and voice acting by a phenomenal cast, but the story is worth the ride as well.
    • 5/5
      Great production and wonderful story . Recommend to everyone, enjoy!

      It kept me in my toes. I even had to go back a couple times and relisten to parts. It put a twist on the condemned walking the earth. We always assume that Judas was the only one. But there could be more.
    • 5/5
      Took me about 30 minutes to get used to the style but once in I was fully in. I really enjoyed it!
      Thank you !!

      Just a great story. Very well written (and the audiobook very well narrated). The story line grabs you quickly and pulls you along to the end. Wonder, sorrow, suspense and inspiration, this has something for everyone.
    • 5/5
      Amazing book and I loved the different readers! I'll be searching for more you your books!
    • 5/5
      This was an absolutely amazing read. I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat. It was very unique perspective and many times it had me guessing as to what was going to happen or how something could happen. I was thoroughly impressed all the way through to the end, and then I heard the authors accomplishments TV shows that he has been a part of, and most of those are near and dear to my heart, so I am definitely going to seek out more titles by this author!
