The Mustard Seed — Robert E. Gelinas

Something has been found... Deep beneath the desert sands of Saudi Arabia, an oil exploration crew stumbles upon a massive underground complex, filled with ancient artifacts, priceless treasures, and a mysterious and deadly secret chamber. Two men die of severe radiation exposure within minutes of venturing into the chamber. A third desperately clings to life. Dr. Helen Knight, a world renowned nuclear physicist, is brought in to help with both the containment of the radiation danger and to help investigate its underlying mystery. What waits for Helen and her colleagues inside the chamber will not only change her life forever in unimaginable ways, but potentially result in the upheaval of the entire world. Actually, the issue is not what waits for her buried in the heart of the earth, but who-the ancient geneticist who has been trapped in a cryogenic vault for the last 4,000 years, the scientist who originally created the hybrid creatures that modern science calls homo sapiens. What if all of ancient history, all that is commonly believed throughout the world about human origins and the birth of civilization, was all a lie-an elaborate myth, a deliberate distortion designed to conceal a dangerous but profound truth about all of mankind? What if many of the ancient myths, legends, and lore were in fact actual depictions of earth's true history? What is the true origin of man? Does God and/or Satan exist? Is magic real? Are there really such things as ghosts and monsters? THE MUSTARD SEED answers these and many other confounding questions of the ages in ways that will leave you dumfounded in wonder -- and does so, not from a theoretical, philosophical or theological viewpoint, but from the cold hard facts and postulates of science: quantum physics, biology, biochemistry, astrophysics, genetics, and much more. For all those who have struggled to rationalize the seeming contradictions of faith versus fact, in the MUSTARD SEED there is no contradiction, only discovery and revelation in a page-turner you won't be able to put down.
