Description

A sweeping adventure that's equal parts thriller and love story, this novel takes the reader from the war-torn jungles of Ethiopia to the magical city of Rome. While the Ethiopian Civil War rages, a Catholic priest languishes in prison. Forty years have passed since he last saw daylight. His crime? Claiming to know the true location of Christ's cup from the Last Supper. Then the miraculous happens a mortar strikes the prison and he is free! He escapes to the jungle, where he encounters two Western journalists and a beautiful freelance photographer taking refuge from the carnage. As they tend to his wounds, he relates his incredible story. Motivated by the sensational tale, the trio agrees to search for the Grail. Thus, begins an impossible quest that will pit them against murderous tribes, deadly assassins, fanatical monks, and the passions of their own hearts. La búsqueda is suspenseful, romantic, and filled with heart-pounding action.
"La historia gira alrededor de la búsqueda de un objeto sagrado de gran valor: el Santo Grial de la tradición cristiana. Las acciones se desarrollan en Etiopía, en 1974, durante la revolución que derrocó al emperador Haile Selassie. La novela de DeMille arranca precisamente durante esa época, con un sacerdote italiano que se encuentra preso e incomunicado desde hace décadas por razones que al principio ignoramos. Súbitamente, la cárcel en la que se encuentra es bombardeada y él logra escapar aunque gravemente herido. Poco antes de expirar en medio de la selva, revela su secreto a dos periodistas y a una hermosa fotógrafa. Resulta que él conoce el lugar en el cual se encuentra oculta una de las más importantes y buscadas reliquias de la cristiandad: la copa en la cual bebió Cristo durante la última cena." --‡cDel editor.
