ISRAEL IS AT WAR, and the Temple Consortium is fighting its own battle against forces set to destroy their dream of the rebuilt temple. On the eve of their wedding day, Professor David Rothmeyer and Britta Hayworth find themselves caught up in the greatest adventure of their "Jerusalem experience." A mysterious relic, delivered to the four Consortium rabbis by an Arab shepherd, and a riddle buried with a Crusader knight in England, catapult the wedding party into another globe-trotting treasure hunt - this one set to realize one of the most important finds in world history: the key to the long-desired temple on Mt. Zion. Joined by their old friends from THE PRIEST and THE ORACLE - and by a host of new characters - the rabbis and the newlyweds unearth a secret coveted by one of the most powerful men on the planet. In the process, they confront a plot to destroy the foundations of Israeli history, and their efforts bring Zachary Cohen, their designated high priest, into the crosshairs of a monumental Evil. The culmination to the David Rothmeyer trilogy, THE CORNERSTONE is a tour de force thriller, woven from the headlines and Bible prophecy, which promises to leave readers wondering, "What's next?"
