Summary

A construction crew northwest of Jerusalem discovers a 2000-plus-year-old tomb in a long-buried olive plantation. It contained the undisturbed skeletal remains of a man executed by crucifixion.
The skeleton was exhumed by an Israeli archeological team, carbon-dated, and its DNA sequenced by a brilliant American husband and wife Geneticist team.
At the direction of the head of the Israeli Department of Antiquities, for reasons unknown, the skeleton and the DNA analysis report are locked away—never to be released to the public.
No one suspected that the American Geneticists, enamored by human cloning, had secretly kept a portion of the DNA used in the original analysis.
The events that followed would forever change the Earth's climate and the very fabric of humankind's social evolution.
