Título: The Doomsday Prophecy (Ben Hope, Book 3)
Autor: Scott Mariani
Sinopse: When ex-SAS operative Ben Hope decided to give up rescuing kidnap victims in favour of the Theology studies he abandoned years before, he should have known that fate would decide differently. Searching for missing biblical archaeologist Zoë Bradbury, Ben finds himself embroiled in his riskiest mission yet. What is the ancient secret that Zoë uncovered? And just who is willing to do anything to protect it? The investigation leads Ben from Greece to the American Deep South and the holy city of Jerusalem, and he soon discovers that it's not just his and Zoë's lives on the line, but those of millions, threatened by a fundamentalist plot to gain ultimate power. The stakes are terrifyingly high as Ben races to prevent a disaster that could kick-start apocalyptic events as foretold by the Book of Revelation… The Ben Hope series is a must-read for fans of Dan Brown, Lee Child and Mark Dawson. Join the millions of readers who get breathless with anticipation when the countdown to a new Ben Hope thriller begins… Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the third book in the series. [....] Still grieving from the death of his wife, Ben Hope returns to Oxford to resume the Theology studies he had given up years before but is quickly recruited to look for a missing young female biblical archaeologist from America. He quickly discovers that Zoe claimed to have uncovered archaeological evidence that proves conclusively that John the Apostle was not the author of the Book of Revelation and is using this knowledge to blackmail a wealthy apocalyptic American preacher. However, unbeknownst to Zoe, her actions may have triggered a chain reaction that could lead to global mass destruction from a shadowy figure hell bent on starting a political crisis that will lead to the fabled 'Tribulation' from the Book of Revelation. The story climaxes with a breathless chase through the streets of Jerusalem as Ben races to catch a desperate bomber intent on detonating a massive explosive device at the sacred Muslim site of the Dome of the Rock - an event that could bring true the apocalyptic forecast of the Bible and hurl the world towards Armageddon.
