Can an ancient weapon—the Spear of Destiny—change the fate of the world? Advance Internet terrorism? The answer depends on who possesses this powerful artifact--good or evil? God’s warriors or Satan’s minions?
In The Hades Project, the newest Cotten Stone thriller by international bestselling co-authors, Lynn Sholes and Joe Moore, evil forces need the Holy Lance to launch their darkest project yet, one that will dismantle humankind.
Not if Cotten Stone can get there first. A senior investigative correspondent for the Satellite News Network, Stone zigzags across the globe to find the ancient relic. “Though Cotten is Nephilim, who are notoriously evil,” says Moore, “she is on the good side and one of God’s warriors.” On the eternally dark side is her mortal enemy, the Son of Dawn, familiarly known as Satan.
in Vienna, Austria.
Working together on the good side, co-authors Sholes and Moore met in early 1990s at a writers group. When Sholes mentioned her idea for a book based upon the attempted cloning of Christ from DNA found preserved in the Holy Grail, Moore says he was “blown away with the premise and encouraged her to write it.”
“Many years later,” says Moore, “I finally got tired of her reluctance and threatened her that if she didn’t write the book, I would write it myself. To avoid bloodshed, we compromised. The result was THE GRAIL CONSPIRACY (the first Cotten Stone thriller), which became an international bestseller, was named Book Of The Year by ForeWord Magazine, and has been translated into 21 languages.”
