The DNA of history’s giants rests quietly in graves all over the world. A revolution in technology can now awaken them. When science can raise the dead, who will return?
Ethan Clark, a geneticist tortured by the loss of his beloved wife, perfects the technology to clone humans from degraded DNA and summons history’s giants back from the grave, but he needs comatose women to incubate his creations. Worlds away, Kyle McKenzie, an Army chopper pilot home from the war, sees his promise of a happy life shatter on a rainy Florida highway when an accident leaves his wife in a deep coma, and Kyle languishing in despair—questioning his own existence at the bedside of the dying woman who shares his soul.
When she vanishes, the distraught soldier embarks on a quest to find her and uncovers Clark’s malevolent plan. During his harrowing pursuit, Kyle faces the ruthless mercenary Clark employs to abduct the sleeping victims who carry the seeds of Project Phoenix and discovers a far more sinister aspect to Clark’s experiment—a special child among Clark’s brood who holds an unfathomable secret in his tiny hands. With only minutes to spare before Clark seals their fate, Kyle’s mission evolves into a choice between the woman he loves and the ominous fulfillment of an ancient prophecy.
Excerpt
The enormous moon floating overhead lent its radiance Kelly’s face. He’d never seen an angel up close before. Tingles raced through him, and Kyle felt more than alive being next to her.
The conversation danced through every topic imaginable, each of them hanging on every word the other spoke. Without realizing, he’d opened up about the scars on his soul. Sharing them with her, the pain faded with each word, and the weight of those memories lifted. On some level, being with her felt like a rebirth, a renewal of his life before there was war or pain or the stench of senseless death. He realized the deepest parts of him had been laid bare, and the touch of her hand healed something broken inside him.
He leaned forward and caressed her lips with his own. She responded and met his kiss. For a moment the world, the restless sea, and the brilliant moon overhead vanished into obscurity.
