It is an astonishing discovery: a bloodstained burial shroud entombed in the crumbling walls of a historic French Monastery. Carbon dating concludes the fabric is from the time of Christ. A molecular biologist conducts a daring experiment: the cloning of genetic material recovered from the cloth. Now two men--Father Laurent Carriere and scientist Josh Francis--are plunged into the center of a worldwide religious and political power struggle. But even as Washington and the Vatican vie for control of the relic, members of a secret society take steps to reclaim the holy artifact they have sworn to protect--by any means necessary. Selected by the Literary Guild(R) and the Doubleday Book Club(R).
a thrilling and gripping novel, with technical superiority.

An interesting premis for a book, the techno-thriller will never be the same if the author keeps writing from this knowledge base. It blew Jurasic park away, and had all the elements of a Ludlum thriller. Definitely a two thumbs up for this book.
