Admiral Atkins leads the Athena I project, developing the worlds greatest supercomputer. Its artificial intelligence discovers how to travel through time. Religiously fanatical, Admiral Atkins turns rogue. He leads six Navy SEALs to ancient Jerusalem to rescue Jesus from the Cross. If the SEALs succeed, the unintended consequence is an unrecognizable twenty-first century with continents covered by thick sheets of ice and missing seven billion people. Green Beret Colonel Robert Lake leads a small hunter-killer team of special operations troops drawn from all branches of the US military and the British SAS to intercept the SEALs. Two civilian expertsa brilliant but eccentric professor and a beautiful master linguistcomplete the team. A ruthless CIA zealot, sympathetic to the SEALs, penetrates the hunter-killer team, bent on destroying them from within. How will the Green Berets and marines match up against the deadly SEALs? How are modern weapons neutralized in close combat by Roman edged weapons? Will the temptations of the flesh in ancient Jerusalem corrupt the hot-blooded marines? What will happen when the SEALs form a relationship with Judas? Who could be opposed to saving Jesus? Will the hunter-killer team turn on Colonel Lake to aid the SEALs in their holy mission? Is the past immutable or merely fluid consciousness open to alternate histories?
