Eighteen years ago, archaeologist & engineer William "Bill" Jenkins disappeared without a trace. After all these years, Bill's son, Connor, wants answers. Where is his father? Why did he leave them? Most importantly, is he still alive after all these years? After a chance meeting with his father's old acquaintance, Connor may finally have the opportunity to solve this riddle, but not everything is what it seems. Connor's search for the truth leads him all over—and under—the world, uncovering bits of his father's shady past. Yet with these memories Connor also unveils some of the world's oldest secrets, many of them so fantastic you might think they were out of this world. Ancient generators and flying machines, child sex rings, and ritual sacrifice are just a few of the eye-opening and horrifying discoveries Connor makes while attempting to evade the Vatican's executioners sent to find him.
