Sinossi
He was not sent to change it. He was sent to write it down.
JERUSALEM, AD 68. TWO YEARS BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION.
Something came through a fissure in the Judean hills. It was alive. No human on earth has immunity to it.
Ray Mercer, an investigative reporter reduced to shooting furnace commercials, follows a dead friend's files to that hillside. Weeks later, a secret government program sends him through the fissure to learn who gets sick and what kills them.
Someone back here wants the organism. A pharmaceutical interest wants Ray to carry it out alive. Its people may have killed the friend who sent him. They have already driven a program scientist to suicide. And a terror group wants the organism as a bioweapon.
On the other side in ancient Israel, Ray is trapped in the most dangerous city on earth. Zealots put knives into their rivals in the Temple courts. Rival factions burn the grain that could feed the city. And the Roman legions are coming, to crucify anyone caught escaping, five hundred a day.
A widow named Tirzah takes him in. A nine-year-old girl named Shalva steals his heart. Both belong to a small community called the Way, led by a man who was a boy when Rome crucified his cousin.
Ray knows the date. The tenth of Av, AD 70. The day the Temple burns.
He can't stop it. He was never supposed to try.
But he can get them out, if they believe him before history proves him right. And if he ever makes it home, the people who want the organism will be waiting.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Raymond Mercer has spent his career chasing the truth.Then he uncovers the biggest secret of his life: a hidden government project built around a hole in the Judean wilderness that opens onto the first century. Ray goes through. On the other side is Jerusalem, in the final years before it falls to Rome.He has to survive a world of rebels, priests, Roman soldiers, and a small community of believers who say they know what is coming.He is not the only one who knows about the hole.A terrorist group wants something from the ancient world: an organism no one alive today has any immunity to. Brought back to the present, it could kill millions.A pharmaceutical company with a shadowy past has taken a suspicious interest in the project, and it sees the organism not as a threat but as a profit center. When a pathogen this deadly can be weaponized by one side and monetized by the other, the line between the people trying to stop a catastrophe and the people trying to cash in on it gets very hard to see.Ray is a professional skeptic, a reporter who always asks how you know something is true. Now he has to work ancient sources in a city on the edge of destruction, follow the money in a world two thousand years away, and figure out who he can trust on either side of the tunnel. The answers he finds may change everything he thought he believed. Written by an 18-time Emmy Award-winning journalist, THE TENTH OF AV is a historical thriller that puts the reader on the ground for one of the most consequential events of the ancient world. Book One of The Last Reporter Series. Codice articolo 9798998098307
