After a satellite image using ground penetrating radar indicates a man-made object near the peak of Mount Ararat, Ancient Near East Scholar Graham Eliot finds himself secretly ascending the slopes where tradition says Noah's Ark landed. But the summit holds more questions than answers. 

A flood of betrayal, blackmail, espionage, and terrorism conspire against him as he escapes the mountain, desperately trying to find a way out of a maze of deception and false leads. As he descends Ararat, he discovers the greatest secret of all: Ararat may not be the biblical mountain at all. All he has to do is try to prove it.
