An ancient relic lost to the world ages ago surfaces in Missouri. Miles Knight, a skeptic suddenly threatened by forces he cannot comprehend, scrambles to stay alive. Chased by a murderous hit man, assailed by unspeakable evils, Miles finds unexpected aid in Bartholomew Owens, the Forever Man, and his protégé, Katie Bethel. From the sleepy heartland of America to the corrupt dangers of Africa, from the forgotten ruins beneath the Vatican to the simmering heat of Istanbul—they race to secure the safety of mankind, and to ultimately stop a deranged reverend from unleashing a holocaust that could bring civilization to its knees. Revelation is the follow-up to Matthews' popular debut novel, Forever Man.
