Word of the Creator Gene Stiles

Salvation or Annihilation? The giant appeared in a golden beam of celestial light on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica. Accompanied by a host of angels, the face of Jesus Christ smiled down upon the supplicant Pope John Matthew, his arms widespread in welcome. "Be at peace. We are here to save the souls of humanity and return you to the Word of the Creator." Through his tears, the Pope knew he was blessed above all others. Father Ricardo Guerrero, archeologist and chief investigator for the Ministry of Miracles was not so sure. Instead of being entranced by the heavenly choir drifting over the Vatican, he had a pounding headache. When eleven more messiahs appear around the world, his suspicions turn the Church against him. With Kylie Jorgensen, the astronomer who learns what the crosses actually are, Carl Washburn, an ex-Seal New York Detective, and NY Times reporter, Angeline Morgan, Ricardo races to find the truth before a holy invasion destroys the world.
