Something has been found. Deep beneath the desert sands of Arabia an oil exploration crew stumbles upon a massive underground complex, filled with ancient artifacts, priceless treasures, and a mysterious and deadly secret chamber. Two men die of severe radiation exposure within minutes of entering, a third desperately clings to life. Dr. Helen Knight, a renowned nuclear physicist, is brought in to help with both the containment of the radiation and to help solve the underlying mystery. What waits for Helen and her colleagues inside the chamber will change her life forever. Actually, the issue is not "what" waits for her, but "who" -- the ancient geneticist who has been trapped in a cryogenic vault for the last 4,000 years, the scientist who originally created the hybrid creatures commonly known as "homo sapiens."

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Any fan of The Celestine Prophesy, Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones, Michael Crichton novels, and Stargate will find this book an intellectual delight and thrilling tour de force. Based upon exhaustive historical research, documents of antiquity, and some of the most controversial theories of modern science, it pits the arch rivals of science and religion in the same crucible, in a fashion guaranteed to astonish and amaze. This is a book meant to be read more than once, leaving the reader wondering just how much of it is really fiction. In regards to man's origins and purpose on th earth, it dares to ask the heretical question, "What if everything didn't happen exactly like they told us?"
From the Inside Flap
What if all of ancient history, all that is commonly believed throughout the world about human origins and the birth of civilization, was all a lie -- a deliberate distortion designed to conceal a dangerous but profound truth about mankind? What if many ancient myths, legends, and lore were in fact actual depictions of earth’s true history?
THE MUSTARD SEED is a work of fiction. Yet it deals with the eternal clash between science and religion, the perpetual struggle of fact versus faith. Predicated upon a wealth of historical and archaeological documents of antiquity, and voluminous contemporary scientific research, this story serves to posit an alternative cosmology, where much of the debate can finally be laid to rest, and a devastatingly new unified truth emerges. This fast-paced thriller is guaranteed to both shock and mystify, leaving you wondering whether or not this fictional flight of imagination might actually contain an uncanny measure of historical truth.
Theologians have vainly struggled for centuries to twist logic and common sense to circuitously manufacture allegorical or spiritualized explanations for the puzzling facts detailed in the biblical Book of Genesis, Chapter 6. Who were the "sons of God," the Nephilim, who according to Holy Writ, wantonly impregnated human females and produced such deadly and degenerate mutant offspring that God Himself saw no other option but to destroy all of mankind in a massive deluge?
Modern scientists have similarly struggled to explain in their own blind orthodoxy how human evolution progressed upon a relatively straight line for millions of years, advancing to the primitive homo erectus stage, and then seemingly overnight, homo sapiens (modern man) burst on the scene rearing great civilizations and high culture, with a grasp of complex and advanced disciplines such as astronomy, mathematics, and engineering that rival their contemporary counterparts and defy rational explanation to this very day. This is fact, not fiction.
For example, in ancient ruins found in Lebanon today there exist temples whose foundations are constructed of precision cut stones quarried from miles away, some weighing in excess of 1,000 tons each—far more weight than any modern crane, vehicle, or lifting device can bear. The same is true of cyclopean monoliths found in the walls of the lost cities of the Incas high in the Andes mountains of South America. How can these things be?
THE MUSTARD SEED envisions a most astonishing answer.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Unbelievably Intriguing,
By Paris Hall (Ft. Lauderdale, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mustard Seed (Hardcover)
I thought The DaVinchi Code was a brain teaser. This book not only entertains, you can't put it down, and it really makes you stop and wonder what really happened thousands of years ago. The questions it asks and fictionalizes are hauntingly plausible. I highly recommend it.

Intriguing,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mustard Seed (Hardcover)
This book really picks at your brain and presents a platter full of ideas and philosophies about the origins of mankind. It fuels all the questions that begin with "what if.." An excellent read for anyone who loves conspiracy theories, ancient history, or who just wants a good, meaty thriller. Highly reccommended.

This review is from: The Mustard Seed (Hardcover)
I enjoyed the explanation of energy from the movements of various perspectives set within our physical cosmos. This facet of seeing the interrelation between things fits in a more complex overview including the Multi-verses as spoken of by Dean Koonz and the Number of The Beast by Robert Heinlein.The different spokes of the layers of different realities are not really layered but actually co-exist in the same space. This adds to Robert E. Gelinas's well described physics of co-existing physical movement systems or one definition of universe. And adds to my understanding of "All the Ways That Things Are" by Dean Koonz and the separate esoteric astral travels by human adepts into a completely different hierarchy of "realities" accessible by some now and maybe one day all of us. I am eager for books two and three, but wouldn't mind waiting if the other aspects can be worked into this riveting thriller of human potential *possible spoiler alert* as children of the Creator and the "sons of God." Robert Heinlein concentrates on another "spoke" of Human thought and mathematics which allows a transformed space-air ship to travel between mini-verses of much read stories created by or written by human authors. How many 3-6 dimensional do fit together? Would it perhaps create the 6 (6 dimensions) of the sacred tetrahedron?
