An ancient secret...

Evidence of a powerful substance lost nearly 3000 years ago...

Most believe it's a myth, but people are dying because some do not...

Dr. Thomas Hamilton, an American Biblical archeologist and Dr. Michael Sieff, an Israeli Biblical linguist, discover ancient evidence for a lost secret so powerful, it may initiate the final jihad between Islam and the rest of the world. Within their grasp lies the secret of Samson’s strength; but they’ll have to contend with two opposing forces that will stop at nothing to make sure they don’t find it.

An ancient sect of Jewish protectors is trying to recover the secret they had lost almost three thousand years ago, and a radical Palestinian leader wants to find it in order to build his own army of soldiers whom he will lead into battle against the world in the name of Allah.

Love, betrayal, and suspense intermingle as Thomas and Michael search the desert of Israel to find the secret that has cost the lives of people close to them. The only thing that will stop more deaths is if they can outwit and outrun their enemies and be the first to find… The Samson Effect
