Is the most famous religious artifact in history actually a warning from the stars? In The Disclosure Paradox Book 2: Salvation, the ultimate Turin Shroud conspiracy is revealed, blending hard science with high-octane military action.
For centuries, the faithful have revered the Shroud as the burial cloth of Christ. But in this gripping sequel, it becomes the center of an interdimensional war. A malevolent race is desperate to extract the DNA trapped within the linen fibers—not to clone a man, but to engineer a weapon that will conquer populated star systems.
Synopsis: A Vatican Secret Revealed
Former Army Ranger Robert Ladd travels to Italy to find a friend who has suddenly—and very suspiciously—gone missing. His investigation leads him into the heart of a Turin Shroud conspiracy that Interpol and the Vatican are desperate to keep hidden.
Robert uncovers a shocking alliance: human elites are collaborating with reptilian entities to steal the Holy Shroud during Holy Week. The stakes are apocalyptic. If the cloth is taken, humanity loses its spiritual sovereignty. With the help of his psychic partner Katrina and their ally Mary Ellen, Robert must navigate the catacombs of Rome and the diplomatic halls of the US Embassy to stop the theft.
Can one man stand against an interstellar empire? Or will the Turin Shroud conspiracy mark the end of human freedom?
Fact vs. Fiction: The Real Science Behind the Story
What makes Salvation unique is that it isn’t just fantasy. It is based on decades of real-world research into the Turin Shroud conspiracy and the scientific anomalies of the cloth.
The STURP Anomalies
In 1978, the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) spent 120 hours analyzing the cloth. Their findings remain baffling today. The image is not a painting; it sits only on the very top fibrils of the linen, as if scorched by a burst of radiation. In the novel, we explore the terrifying possibility that this “radiation” was not divine in the traditional sense, but technological—a beacon left for us to find.
The DNA Mystery
Scientists have indeed found blood on the Shroud (Type AB). But what else is hidden in those ancient stains? The novel asks the question: if Jesus was not of this earth, what does his DNA look like? This question drives the central conflict of the book and offers a fresh take on the ancient alien theory.
