Khoury, Raymond,
The sign / Raymond Khoury. - New York, NY : A Signet Book, c2009. - 430 pages ; 6 cm.
"Another cutting-edge thriller set at the intersection of science, religion, and history from the best-selling author of The Last Templar.
In Antarctica, a scientific expedition drops anchor for a live news feed. As the CNN journalist begins her report, a massive, shimmering sphere of light suddenly appears in the sky, enveloping the ship in luminous white light before disappearing as mysteriously as it arrived - the entire event witnessed by an incredulous world audience. Mean while in a dusty bar in Egypt, a dozen men are lazily discussing the state of the world when the brilliant, glowing symbol on the television stops them cold. One man breaks out in a sweat, crosses himself repeatedly, and rushes out of the bar muttering the same phrase over and over again: It can't be." --Provided by the publisher
