One Will Be Taken

Arturo Giamo is a renowned visionary. His pioneering methodology in genetic engineering has established him as the world's foremost expert in his field. It also puts within his grasp the realization of his life's dream: to design children who are not just intelligent beyond imagination, but capable of leading mankind to the next level of evolutionary development, to solve the greatest problems in the world-and to usher in an age of lasting unity, peace and prosperity.

With the birth of his son, Luca Giamo, Arturo attains his crowning achievement, the miraculous virgin birth of the perfect child. As Luca matures, his fawning mentor, Billings Mason, rises to world renown as a man of faith, able to perform extraordinary miracles. After the disappearance of the world's Christians, the miracle working Mason draws together world leaders, consolidating Luca's power and positioning him as a key leader in the new world that dawned at his birth.

Global crises multiply and natural disasters are unleashed on the earth, while armies mass on the border of Israel, threatening to destroy that nation. Evil gains dominion throughout the world while a few find new faith.
