THORNS: A Suspense Thriller
A GLOBAL FAMINE.
AN ANCIENT SECRET.
POLITICAL INTRIGUE IN THE VATICAN.
From the multi-award-winning author of The Lazarus Succession and The Patmos Enigma Ken Fry, comes a new novel of survival, power, and the fight for humanity's future.
Crops are failing, and agriculture is collapsing worldwide.
Global famine is imminent, with wheat disasters devastating producers.
Every nation is affected—except for one small island in Sicily.
No one knows why.
Dr. Norton Fletcher and Dr. Florence Cattersby, renowned soil scientists, are sent to uncover the mystery. What they find is an astonishing, two-thousand-year-old secret—one that has been carefully preserved by a small, dwindling group of people.
This secret is in the hands of one man, linked to its miraculous past. He holds the fate of both Sicily and the world. The scientists struggle to believe it can be real.
Meanwhile, the island’s religious leader learns of the secret. Realizing its potential, he sees it as his path to the papacy and sets in motion a plot to steal it. With help from a shadowy far-right nationalist group, led by a fanatical and ruthless leader, a brutal campaign of terror begins.
As chaos unfolds, the fight for control of this ancient secret becomes a battle that will determine the destiny of a starving world.
How will it end?
