Publisher's Synopsis
What could be more powerful than weapons crafted by the hand of God for his own army of angels? Bastian Santé is a man driven by greed and the desire to possess that power. Unfortunately for him, only an angel can touch angelic steel. That is, until recent breakthroughs in human genome editing have given him the hope of changing that. Meanwhile, with an increase in archeological discoveries across the globe, the demand for trained personnel with the daringness and expertise to search and recover these precious antiquities has greatly risen in past years. From this need, a new school has emerged. Born from a small group of former private military operatives known as Nightcorp International, Alpha-Meridian's focus is on Hazardous Relic Recovery, and trains students for the exciting, and often dangerous work of tracking down and collecting the world's lost treasures. Professor Cameron Skull is one of A-M's top field instructors. But when he finds himself alone and dangling from a cliff high up in the Alps on a recovery mission for the Swiss government, he is unprepared for the sight when a man suddenly falls from above him. He soon learns however, that that is only the beginning of his problems. With the help of his girlfriend Iris, and his best friend Francesco Ferrari, can Professor Skull and the team from Meridian put together enough information to stop Santé before his plan succeeds and he becomes the most powerful villain in the world? Following ancient trails isn't easy. And when an army of the dead stand in your way, it may just be impossible. But as they will all soon learn, playing God does not make you God.
