Description

"Anyone touching any of the shekels will die; anyone who possesses all thirty has the potential to rule the world..." In Disciple's Curse, Will Prescott, an archeologist who heads the Numismatic division of the Smithsonian Institute, has just discovered a forgotten bunker belonging to Adolf Hitler. The bunker contains many stolen relics and among them are five mysterious ancient silver coins, called "shekels." Will's research indicates that these are in fact five of an original thirty shekels, buried in hallowed ground by the Apostle Paul in 49 A.D. They were hidden away to protect the world from an evil curse that had been placed on the coins. After centuries at rest, the 30 shekels were disturbed and mysteriously removed from their depository. Tracing their cursed trail shows that several historically well-known despots had tried to tap into their mystic powers in their attempts to rule the world. Each of the ambitious leaders was denied world domination when the shekels again mysteriously disappeared. Now the question needs to be answered: Who has the other twenty-five coins?
