Based on the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, writings of the 2nd-century Gnostics, this novel offers suspense and intrigue as the alternate gospels, including the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and Thunder, pass from hand to hand--often at great price.

From possible alchemical secrets of Mary Magdalene's annointing oil, to the connections that Gnostics and Cathars held to her, to her parallel role to that of ancient goddesses such as Ishtar and Isis, extraterrestrial presence and influence in the Bible and Gnostic texts, how the Knights Templar wrote secret teachings of Jesus and Mary in religious graffiti at Domme, France and much more.
