Abstract
Determined to change the course of history, twenty-first-century jihad terrorists slip through a temporal hole, and three unlikely heroes, Marie Gauthier, John Conway, and David Ben-Dor, armed only with swords and daggers, are sent back in time to return the terrorists, but first they must survive the beasts and warriors of the ancient Roman arena.
"It began with a rain of frogs ... A strange phenomenon grips the world of today—and yesterday. A shepherd boy appears outside a scientific facility at Los Alamos, New Mexico, babbling in an ancient tongue. At the same time, two thousand years ago, mortal fear grips a queen whose murderous ambitions are boundless, as she entertains her subjects with screams of the dying men in an arena ... In one moment, time is ripped apart .... Brutal jihad terrorists slip through the hole in time, on a mysterious and deadly quest to change the course of history. To stop them, three innocent people, two men and a woman, are sent back on the most exciting mission in history—to unravel a mystery and stop a killer. Back to a time when the people of Israel chaffed under the heel of Roman legions and a brutal queen used sex and murder in a scheme for empire. Set against the vivid and violent tapestry of modern and ancient Israel, Dark Passage is an unforgettable saga of war, murder, technology, and high adventure."--Publisher description.
