When Earth intercepts a message from the outer reaches of the solar system, all eyes turn to Carmen Vincent and her companions on board the star runner to spearhead the investigation. For a mysterious object is hurtling towards Earth. Is it a spaceship, an asteroid, or the first wave of an attack? Hours into the mission, Carmen discovers within the message a hidden fragmented code not meant for her. Someone on her crew knows the secret about the code and is working to keep anyone from deciphering it. What began as a simple operation turns into a fight for survival against the saboteur, and only Carmen and her allies stand a chance to stop what’s coming before it’s too late. Part three of the Broken Stars series, this relentlessly entertaining space opera adventure continues Carmen Vincent’s adventure, with plenty of thrills and excitement for any science fiction fan!

Book Description
"The Chicago Tribune" calls "this follow-up (to "The Relic" is) every bit as good and in some ways better. Preston and Child carry off this sequel with great energy and panache . . . their portrait of the underground dwellers lifts this thriller into a category all its own". "This should do for the New York Subway system what "Jaws" did for Long Island beaches". says "Booklist".

Book Description
From skeletons to strips of cloth to little pieces of dust, reliquaries can be found in many forms, and while sometimes they may seem grotesque on their surface, they are nonetheless invested with great spiritual and memorial value. In this book, Cynthia Hahn offers the first full survey in English of the societal value of reliquaries, showing how they commemorate religious and historical events and, more important, inspire awe, faith, and, for many, the miraculous. Hahn looks deeply into the Christian tradition, examining relics and reliquaries throughout history and around the world, going from the earliest years of the cult of saints through to the post-Reformation response. She looks at relic footprints, incorrupt bodies, the Crown of Thorns, the Shroud of Turin, and many other renowned relics, and she shows how the architectural creation of sacred space and the evocation of the biblical tradition of the temple is central to the reliquary’s numinous power. She also discusses relics from other traditions—especially from Buddhism and Islam—and she even looks at how reliquaries figure in contemporary art. Fascinatingly illustrated throughout, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the enduring power of sacred objects.
