Corpus Gnostica, is a historical fiction weaving a tapestry of adventure, intellectual and psychological tension, secret societies, and religious archetypes between the modern and ancient worlds. Dyson Teal, a young graduate student is on the translating team for Princeton's newly unearthed Corpus Gnostica, when the text is pilfered from the university library. Teal and his girlfriend, the sexy Angelica Herald find the text hidden in the evil Professor Lucius Fox's home office. Dyson begins translating the codices with Angelica as his reluctant accomplice. Soon, they learn that the Corpus is a secret history of pre-civilization and the rise of early Christianity. Within hours, law enforcement authorities begin an intensive investigation led by the enigmatic detective Ric Chin, who becomes suspicious of the nervous graduate student. Presenting thirteen codices as Dyson translates, the reader discovers the truth about the ancient Gnostics from the perspective of the gods. The romance between the goddess Sophia and Christ, and their struggle against the evil archon Samuel are central themes. Unknown to Dyson, Professor Fox is actually the noxious Samuel. Leader of a wicked secret society, Fox and his Masonic cronies are plotting against Dyson even as the police are closing in. But Dyson is also protected by friends, the mysterious Illuminati and the Children of Light, who learn that he possesses the codices as their prophecies have long foretold.
