description: In the caves beneath an Italian lake, the fossil of a creature older than the earth has been disinterred.  In the Judaean desert, a legendary parchment has been discovered.  One reveals the secrets of Heaven.  One foretells an impending Hell.  And deciphering their message has been left to paleontologist Carter Cox--a man of science whose faith in the empirical is about to be shaken by forces of evil beyond imagining.
