One of the first great mysteries of civilization is the story of the creation of the world in
the Bible. The Tree of Life planted in the Garden of Eden
may be more than just a myth. And if so, the country that
possesses it could harness the power of eternity and be the
undefeated champion of the world.
To this end, a
small group that includes some of the best scientists of the
age start an expedition to Iraq in search of the Forbidden
Garden. But will they ever return? The path that leads to
the entrance to paradise has been called "The Valley of the
Shadow of Death", and not without reason. It is said to be
guarded by a host of demons under the command of the ancient
Egyptian priest Siptelah, who sold his own soul in exchange
for his power.
"Mystery of the Past" is the first
book of the exciting trilogy, "Paradise". Already a
bestseller in Russia, it has fascinated hundreds of
thousands of readers around the world. Now released for the
first time in English, Christians and non-Christians can
enjoy the thrilling opening of this powerful series.
