The Tenth Prophet — David C. Edney

Suppose someone found or created a book which not only conclusively debunked every myth, superstition, and religion the world has ever known, but went on to explain in comprehensive scientific detail how things actually work? Everything, that is, from the Universe itself down to and including human behavior. How would such a book, and its discoverer, be received? What would be their fate? Is there room inside the human mind for Truth and Belief to coexist? Can we even tell them apart? Archaeologist Sam McGowan unearthed a man who was destined to explore such questions: a 13th Century lawyer named Antonio DiMarco. Dr. McGowan also unearthed DiMarco's book: In Quest of Phi: The Search for Creative Meaning. A paranoid pope, the greatest explorer the Western world has never heard of; a fiery Tuareg princess; an ominous stranger and much more: in The Tenth Prophet Dr. McGowan allows Tony DiMarco to relive his harrowing tale, and perhaps launches humankind's greatest quest.
