Text Box: On a student excavation at the Mendips mines of Somerset England, Michael Sinclair, a young archaeology student, and his best friend Bruce Plantard have made an astounding discovery. They have found a journal containing the writings of the first Baldwin King of Jerusalem. Studying these documents, they believe they have found clues to the location of additional archaeological treasures hidden at Mendip mines of Somerset England. Financed by Bruce’s uncle Edmond, the two boys mount a secret expedition back to Mendips. There, using the Baldwin papers and additional documents provided by the enigmatic Uncle Edmond, they discover a secret chamber containing, what they believe to be, the one true cross and jars containing, what they believe to be, the blood of Christ. This begins an adventure that leads us through a fascinating montage of religious fact and lore, history and legends, science, and science fiction. Greg Cicio has skillfully blended these elements into a compelling story of discovery, murder, intrigue, and secret societies. It portrays how the world, as we know it, might end.
