New York Times bestselling author Raymond Khoury returns with a provocative, hard-hitting thriller ripped from the headlines and set at the intersection of science, religion, politics and history...

It appears out of nowhere in the skies above Antarctica--a blazing sphere of light that transforms into a mysterious symbol for all to see. Then, it vanishes. The world is enraptured by the event. Is the symbol man-made? Is it of extraterrestrial origin? Or is it a sign from God? The entire human race holds its breath, desperate for an answer--but will it be the one they're hoping for?

For reporter Gracie Logan, it's the story of a lifetime. And her search for the truth will lead her from an ancient monastery in the sands of Egypt to a megachurch in Texas and into a mystery that she may not survive.

For ex-con Matt Sherwood, it's a chance to redeem himself--and to find the men responsible for the death of his brother.

And for a few shady players in the corridors of power in Washington D.C., it's a chance to redefine the world--and to manipulate the relationship between religion and politics in America, for better, or for worse...

Review:
Praise for The Sign

"Raymond Khoury explores the concept of religion by posing the ever-present question What if? in a unique and appealing way. It's fiercely intelligent and equally curious. Khoury casts his fictional world in a dark pall--a fitting atmosphere for his protagonists as they race both time and shadowy instincts toward a scintillating conclusion. The Sign is a rapid paced adventure that delivers equal quantities of story and lesson, neither one suffering in the process. Khoury's background as a screenwriter shows. He is especially adept at action scenes. His expertly chosen verbs cause the scenes to leap from the page. You can literally feel the blows as they're landed; wince as the bullets find their marks. He has an intense brand of storytelling all his own. The Sign is a prize to be savored."--New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry

"[A] solid thriller...Unrelenting action and a suitably twisted ending."--Publishers Weekly

"Khoury's thrillers engage the reader's mind, even as they move at a breakneck pace. His first two novels were first-rate adventure yarns, and so is this one...Readers who like their thrillers to have a solid intellectual component will enjoy Khoury's books very much. Given the high quality of each of his novels, it seems fair to say that he may be around for a while."--Booklist

"This is a thoughtful book with a powerful message and yet also a thrilling read with compelling, well-developed characters. Highly recommended."--Library Journal
