The Promise of the Copper Scroll
Giới thiệu về sách nói này
On an early morning in July 2019, a minor quake unearths a copper scroll from the walls of a Qumran cave near the Dead Sea. The scroll finds its way to an antiquities dealer in Jordan and then to Professor Samuel Wadsworth at the Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey. If he can properly interpret the information on the scroll, Wadsworth believes it will lead to billions of dollars in gold, silver, and rare ornaments hidden in the year 70 AD to deny the invading Romans the valuable assets of the Second Temple. When word of the scroll’s discovery reaches the Iranians, they organize a terrorist team to locate, seize, and follow the scroll to its treasure.
Three brave women pursue the copper scroll despite the terrorist violence surrounding it.
Nancy Troll is a senior at Drexel University. She dedicates her senior project to researching the scroll and preparing a series of newspaper articles that may lead to her recognition as an up-and-coming reporter. Her intense love affair and witnessing of terrorist activity do not stand in the way of her dedication.
Carol Stark is the secretary/assistant to Professor Wadsworth. She sees the scroll as a means to eliminate her family’s burdensome debt resulting from her husband’s uncontrolled betting on sports. Her complex scheme must withstand unpredictable barriers, including those launched by the Iranian terrorists.
Joan MacLennan is the attractive Regional FBI Chief in charge of combatting the deadly violence plaguing the area by the Iranian terrorists. She must take decisive action to save the scroll from the Iranians and smooth its way to a New York City antiquities museum.
Seeking the scroll becomes an unpredictable shell game with death and destruction facing each of the players.
