The Kairos - 6901

After 40 years' extreme secrecy, Dead Sea Scrolls scholar Dr. Lute Jonson commits to unveiling seven fragments that tell where the teenage Jesus lived, and who His life partner was. "The world deserves to know this kairos event," he argues. "These writings are the newest of God's breakthroughs into human history." Fr. Sean O'Derry, the only other secret-sharer, vehemently disagrees, warning Lute that the second revelation will explode the faith of a billion Christians worldwide. Lute steals the 2000-year-old parchments and flees Jerusalem for America, determined to find a global media outlet. Sean's security agents, close behind, are soon replaced by Vatican officials and finally CIA agents. As Lute barely escapes his hunters and reveals the ancient truth to one confidante after another, the trail of casualties mounts. His quest is completed under the blended blaze of a Midnight Sun on Alaska's Yukon River. Kirkus Reviews writes, ""Lute is as earnest and inept as a biblical scholar would be if he were dodging shadowy killers, and his flight is realistic and suspenseful. [The author] sets him amid three-dimensional characters whose crises of conscience are nuanced and well-drawn.... Lute's odyssey makes for an intriguing balance of action and reflection." New York Times best-selling author Sheldon Siegel adds, "The Kairos' intriguing, highly controversial premise takes readers on a fast-paced ride from the Holy Land to California to Alaska. Lute Johnson is an engaging protagonist worth rooting for. A deftly-executed thriller in a crowded genre. We will be hearing more from this talented newcomer. Highly recommended." Author/blogger/MCC minister Kittredge Cherry concludes, "Hartman's wickedly good plot twists and clever language lead to surprising revelations. The time has come for The Kairos."
