Synopsis

CIA agent Jax Alexander and remote viewer Tobie Guinness are back in The Babylonian Codex by C.S. Graham, racing to solve an ancient riddle and diffuse a plot to destroy the world. A relentlessly gripping thriller that takes off like a rocket and never slows down, The Babylonian Codex features apocalyptic prophecies, a mysterious inscription on a long-lost mosaic, and the assassination of the U.S. vice president. New York Times bestselling author James Rollins called Graham's debut thriller, The Archangel Project, "As current as today's headlines and as disturbing as your darkest nightmare....Riveting, provocative, and enthralling." Now, two electrifying adventures later, this series is better than ever.

From the Back Cover

An ancient Biblical prophecy . . . The convening of the richest and most powerful men on earth . . . The sudden, mysterious death of the vice president . . .

When Iraq War vet October "Tobie" Guinness volunteers to remote view a priceless artifact looted from war-ravaged Baghdad, she unwittingly becomes the main target in the midst of a horrific bloodbath. Now a fugitive accused of murder, Tobie turns for help from her sometime partner, rogue CIA agent Jax Alexander. Ranging from a high-mountain Moroccan kasbah and a medieval English church to a frozen Idaho lake, the two must race to unravel the secrets that link a long-lost mosaic to a mysterious Biblical codex, in time to stop a deadly cabal of powerful zealots with a chilling plot to remake the world and bring on the Second Coming.
