Prophet of Bones
Autor Ted Kosmatkaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 apr 2013
An ancient discovery. A hidden past. A deadly conspiracy to bury the truth.
He was told his was the only name on their list. But for brilliant young anthropologist Paul Carlsson, asked to examine the cache of bones found on as remote Indonesian jungle island, fascination soon turns to fear.
Because waiting for him east of Java is evidence of something that shouldn't exist; a revelation that if made public will turn scientific and religious orthodoxy on its head. If Carlsson discovers the truth too many powerful interests have far too much to lose.
But not every prophet is without honour. And Carlsson, alone and on the run, is determined to reveal the discovery to a world in which the church and science have conspired to hide it. A world which, it's been proven, is only 5,800 years old...
Prophet of Bonesis Ted Kosmata's enthralling second novel.The Gamesshowcased Kosmata's imaginative genius andProphet of Bonesis no different. Fans of Robert Harris, Michael Crichton and Sam Bourne will be hooked.

Descriere
In the breathtaking tradition of Michael Crichton this is a thriller that combines an ancient discovery and a deadly conspiracy to bury the truth. At the heart of the action is a cache of ancient bones found on a remote jungle island, and a young anthropologist, Paul Carlsson, who is asked to examine them.
