Ancient biblical prophesy, stirred in a cauldron of modern political controversy, forms the basis of The Essenes Conspiracy. A present-day religious cult, believing itself to be controlled by the words of a 2,000-year-old Orthodox Jewish religious order, takes it upon itself to bring about the Armageddon, or End of Days, as they believe was so ordained by the word of God. Threatening to explode stolen nuclear weapons in the heart of Israel, they unknowingly pose a threat of a planetary earthquake of unequaled proportions. Caught up in this quagmire of events is a young American biblical scholar and archeologist who, enlisted by the Israeli government, is given the task of solving the puzzle as to the location of the hidden nuclear bombs, before they can be detonated. Only his perceptive interpretation of ancient scripture can prevent a modern-day holocaust.
