Kidnapping Jesus - David Barnard

. .

Résumé :
Kidnapping Jesus is an action-adventure novel and is based on fact and imagination. Kidnapping Jesus was discussed and parts of it were written and re-written over fifteen years. Bringing to life an action-adventure story of this magnitude was a challenge, but well worth the emotional roller coaster for the authors and those who helped with their ideas. The major characters are based on the real-life adventures of six Marines. Kidnapping Jesus, the beginning of this trilogy, leads to a final climax with Retribution and immerses the reader in a journey through time. Beginning with the crucifixion of Christ over 2,000 years ago and spiraling through time to Vietnam and Beirut. Our next stops on this journey include Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Hindu Kush mountains in pursuit of the Al Queda leadership responsible for our Nation's 911.Following the exciting early adventures in this trilogy, COBALT's team leader, John Elder, is approached by one of the wealthiest men in the world, George E. Hastings III, the Owner of BIOTECH150, the largest biotechnical company in the World. Located in his mansion is a very old parchment...it was from the Roman Centurion, Casca Rufio Longinus with these words spoken to him by Jesus...WHEN MAN BECOMES WORTHY, I SHALL RETURN TO EARTH.WE SHALL MEET AGAIN.~CASCA RUFIO LONGINUS Elements of betrayal at the highest levels with lasting consequences occur and lead you on a journey with Echoes from the Past and continue with a future Breach of Faith.The tantalizing prospect of Jesus communicating directly with mankind raises profound questions about existence, purpose, and the choices that shape our collective destiny.Rooted in stark reality yet fueled by boundless imagination, Kidnapping Jesus is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring quest for truth. From its humble beginnings in 1997 to its first publication in 2009, this trilogy has evolved into a literary odyssey that challenges readers to confront the mysteries of faith, humanity, and the fabric of mankind's existence. Brace yourself for an unforgettable journey that will test the limits of your imagination and leave you questioning everything you thought you knew!...
