About this ebook

The Lost Ark is more than a Hollywood blockbuster.

 

FACT: the Ark of the Covenant was a real religious object, a wooden box overlaid with gold and crowned with two golden cherubim. FACT: the Ark served as the central religious artifact of the ancient Israelites for worship and sacrifice. FACT: around 586 BC the Ark vanished from Israel's temple, never to be seen again. What happened to it and where did it go?

 

The world is about to find out.

 

Silas Grey—ex-Army Ranger and leading relics professor—is drawn back into the fray with an urgent mission from the ancient religious Order of Thaddeus after a former professor makes headlines for unveiling the location of the Lost Ark. But soon it is clear things are not as they seem—and the struggle has never been greater for the Church.

 

Because not only is there a startling discovery that changes the mission entirely. Matt Gapinski and a new SEPIO recruit track a high-value operative of the Order's ancient nemesis that reveals the stakes are even higher for both the ancient Jewish relic and the Christian faith.

 

In this explosive third adventure in the bestselling Order of Thaddeus religious conspiracy thriller series, twists and turns spanning three continents will leave you wondering where the Ark of the Covenant has been hidden for two and a half millennia—and what would happen to the world religious scene if it were found.

 

Will Silas and the SEPIO operatives stop the threat against the Church and the Ark before it's too late?

 

Once again, emerging author J. A. Bouma leverages the familiar elements of Dan Brown's religious conspiracy and James Rollin's special-ops suspense, informed by Steve Berry's historical insights and Joel Rosenberg's thrilling inspiration—delivering "a passionate historical fiction that draws you into the story from the very beginning."

 

Engage this propulsive new archaeological thriller adventure straddling thrill and thought, faith and doubt—combining fact, faith, and fiction like few contemporary religious writers.
