Covenant: A Novel

ARE THEY ALIENS . . . OR ANGELS? In the remote desert depths of the Middle East, archaeologist Lucy Morgan finds a seven-millennia-old tomb holding the bones of a mysterious being, but the price she pays for her discovery could easily be her life. Because somebody will stop at nothing to possess the secrets the tomb reveals.

At the request of Lucy’s family, war correspondent Ethan Warner agrees to aid a desperate effort to find the young archaeologist, who was abducted shortly after her momentous discovery. While Ethan flies to Israel, police detectives in Washington, D.C., confront another baffling crime: a man who appears to have died of hypothermia in the sweltering August heat. And both investigations are leading straight to the same shadowy corporation . . . one with a bizarre goal that threatens not just Lucy’s life, but the fate of every person in the world.
