"'Am I worthy, oh Lord? I go into battle against your greatest enemy armed with a cloth that once witnessed your rebirth. For once, all my worldly weapons are worth nothing. I will approach the beast, naked but for your raiment.'"Carlo knelt at the foot of his bed, eyes closed and hands folded together resting on the mattress. Dozens of weapons from the exotic to the mundane were strewn across the room, emptied from the trunk on the floor. On the bed before him rested the Shroud of Turin, folded so that only the image of Christ's face was visible."'Give me the strength to do your will. The beast was never meant to wear our skin. Your will, Your strength, Your blood will cast him from this plane, never to return, unless foolish men invite him once again. Idiots, the lot of them. What were they thinking?'"David Moore's The Shroud is an exciting "what if". What if a new being could be cloned from ancient DNA? Would it result in a savior or a threat to mankind?
