Man was created in God’s image. But evolution has changed us. Our genetic code has been ripped, torn and reshaped through the generations. Now, a small town is plagued with grizzly corpses, the result of forces beyond any sane persons understanding. Behind these deaths lie mysteries as old as man himself ... secrets that must be protected at any cost ... even to the destruction of the Earth. This bizarre series of deaths has a U.S. Marshal caught between the Guardians of man’s future and the Marshal’s duty to protect.
From the beginning of time comes this tale of unprecedented mystery, religious fervor, and mystical powers. It winds you through the worlds of Government intrigue ... through the secrets of man’s creation and exposes the powers carefully guarded throughout the centuries that will ensure man’s survival, even though the Earth will be lost.
With mathematical elegance, string theory proved the existence of other dimensions and universes. Reaching them may be our only hope for survival and the genetic code carried by descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene may be our only hope of reaching them in time.

Excerpt from The Jesus Gene
Benny looked down at his students, making eye contact with each of them. “There was a lot of talk behind Saunière’s back following his return from Paris. People wanted to know how he acquired his newfound wealth. My theory is that the Catholic Church paid Saunière for his silence. I think Saunière discovered more parchments after deciphering the clues left by Abbé Antonie Bigou and that it was these parchments that were discussed with high-ranking members of the Church during his visit to Paris. If these documents showed the linage of Jesus Christ -- which is what I have reason to believe -- the release of this information would have undermined the base of Catholic credo and possibly ended Christianity as we know it today. This gave the Church a very strong reason for keeping the information secret, even if they had to pay a sizable amount of money for Saunière’s silence.”
A murmur rose from the students at Benny’s feet. “What are you saying, Dr. Hostetter?” an unidentified voice in the crowd exclaimed.
“I’m saying that Saunière had proof that Jesus Christ didn’t die on the cross, proof that Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion and escaped to the South of France where he married Mary Magdalene and had children who became the great Merovingian dynasty of kings.”
A roar of dissension and confusion rose around Benny. Some of the members of his class -- who came from France’s most prominent Catholic families -- jumped to their feet and started shouting at him.
“Calm down … calm down!” Benny shouted back at them, waving his hands to indicate that they should return to their seats on the grassy hillside. “I didn’t say that I believe Jesus Christ survived his crucifixion. I said that Saunière believed it. Not only Saunière, but a lot of other people.”
The confused students began settling back to the ground. Many of them were still frowning. “Remember people. Archaeology is the scientific pursuit of truth,” Benny said accusingly. “We don’t judge truth, we just seek it out, wherever we find it and wherever it may lead us. You need to leave all of your prejudices at home. Even religious ones.”
The students quieted and Benny returned to the folding chair.
“Now, back to what I was trying to tell you. One of the major assumptions we’re working under is that Bérenger Saunière discovered documents he believed to be the genealogical record of Jesus Christ.
“From a historical standpoint, Saunière knew that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene were recognized as legitimate nobility from the Judaic Houses of Benjamin and David, making their children attractive additions to any house of questionable royal status. To develop your hypothesis, assume that his heirs married into the Visigoth families of the time and gave birth to the sacred Merovingian ruling family. It’s even possible that the Visigoths in the area were also descended from the House of Benjamin, which fled to the Arcadia region of Greece and then north into France a thousand years earlier. We know that the Merovingians weren’t wiped out by the Carolingians and that their lineage survives in some of the other royal families of Europe today.”
Benny paused for a moment and scratched at his rather large nose. The sun was almost gone and high-pressure sodium lights were adding a yellow tinge to the landscape around them.
Go back and read your notes about Le Prieuré de Sion, the secret society determined to implement a new Merovingian restoration in France. If Saunière were an agent of Sion it would explain a lot of the things that happened around here. However, one of the things it won’t explain is what happened at Saunière’s death.”
Benny rubbed at the back of his neck and gazed at the sky for a moment.
“Before Saunière died in 1917, he called for a priest to administer ‘Last Rites’,” Benny said, looking back at his students. “After hearing Saunière’s confession, the priest refused to give him absolution. This is a severe punishment in the Catholic Church. There’s no record of what Saunière told the priest, but it must have made him very upset to refuse Saunière -- another priest -- absolution.”
