A manuscript from the 1st century AD was found at the excavations of an ancient fortress in Israel. The peaceful scientific expedition that discovered the old scrolls is destroyed, and the surviving archaeologists are being mercilessly hunted. The Legion, an organization created under Emperor Constantine, protects the dogmas of faith in its own way, physically destroying those who encroach on them. Why did the ancient parchment doom everyone who touched it to death? What do the preacher from Galilee Yeshua Ha-Nozri, the writer Josephus Flavius and the procurator of the province of Judea Pontius Pilate - the Golden Spear - have to do with all this? What exactly did the author of the manuscript, Yehuda, known to us under the nickname Iscariot, write on ancient skins? Will Professor Katz, the beautiful Arin bin Tariq and journalist Valentin Shagrovsky be able to escape from the ruthless legionnaires? Will they be able to preserve the manuscript and tell the world a story that has been hidden from him for 2000 years? A chase novel, a mystery novel, a research novel. A real thriller from the author of the best-selling book “No Man's Land” Yan Valetov.
