Description
THE POWER AND THE PARANOIA
From Thomas Greanias, the New York Times bestselling author of Raising Atlantis, comes an epic adventure of ancient Rome that illuminates the gathering darkness of the 21st century.
The assassination of Caesar’s chief astrologer explodes into revelations of a secret Christian order known as “Rule of God.” It's penetrated the highest echelons of the empire. Its mission: to fulfill a decades-old prophecy predicting the exact day and hour that Caesar will die. Desperate to prove the oracles wrong, an increasingly erratic Caesar kills all suspected enemies. No one from slave to senator can escape his reign of terror.
Enter the innocent playwright Athanasius. Wrongly accused by jealous rivals of being Chiron, the elusive mastermind behind Rule of God, he is condemned to certain death in the unscripted "reality" of the arena.
Miraculously, he escapes, alone with a state secret that could destroy the empire. Hunted by assassins across the Mediterranean, his only hope is the terrorist order he was accused of masterminding, where the only way up or out is to kill or be killed.
A meticulously researched and masterfully crafted conspiracy thriller inspired by real people and events, The Chiron Confession is the unforgettable story of one man against the world.
Advance Praise
SKILLFUL, EXCITING, BELIEVABLE!
Thomas Greanias writes an intelligent, fast-moving historical novel with nonstop action, narrow escapes and violent encounters, as well as much food for thought. The ancient world comes alive in well-chosen details, from the mundane to the arcana of spy craft, codes, and disguises. Greanias' characterization is vivid even for minor figures and especially so for Athanasius. As a playwright, for example, he dislikes the Book of Revelation for its "deus ex machine return of Jesus at the end of history; he goes through a believable personal struggle and transformation over the tale's course. Greanias also smartly illuminates the religious, philosophical, historical, and even economic issues that underpin the story, while never letting the pace lag. A skillful, exciting blend of history, action, and drama set in the ancient world.
