The Disclosure Paradox

A Conspiracy to Steal The Holy Shroud and Rule the Universe

In this second The Disclosure Paradox novel, the most powerful weapon ever to be used against the universe is located in Turin, Italy: The Holy Shroud, which bears traces of Jesus Christ's blood. A malevolent race of beings from another world will do anything to capture it and extract the precious DNA to conquer populated star systems. Paul Vecchiet's novel includes his research on little-known information about The Shroud and the scientists who study it, as well as new theories of Jesus's purpose on Earth-both then and now.

Former Army Ranger, Robert Ladd, travels to Italy to find a friend who has suddenly-and very suspiciously-gone missing. With the help of Interpol and the US Embassy to the Holy See, Robert uncovers not only the murder of his friend but the shocking truth behind a human conspiracy with reptilian-looking otherworlders to steal The Shroud during Holy Week. But his own life is in grave danger. Interpol's chief to the Vatican will kill anyone suspecting his involvement in the interdimensional crime. With the long-distance psychic assistance of his partner, Katrina, and their friend, Mary Ellen-cohorts from Book One-Robert just might have a chance to thwart alien plans for domination.

Can Robert Ladd, given the charge to protect the Blood of Christ, survive multiple assaults and convince the authorities that war and the end of all that is good are about to happen? And at what great cost?
