A very readable thriller - Da Vinci Code-like draw of a theme that could change the world.

Largo, FL, USA, May 6, 2008 (XTVWorld.Com) -- Hunting the King, the new novel from Kunati Books author Peter Clenott, is a gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal and ruthless ambition, set in the treacherous Middle East. As the American bombs fall on Sadaam's Baghdad, the race begins to find the greatest archaeological treasure the world has ever known.

Mysterious verses written by Hannaniah, the self-proclaimed daughter of Jesus Christ, lead American archaeologist Molly O'Dwyer to a string of long-lost burial mounds in ancient Babylon near the biblical city of Ur. After several failures, Molly correctly interprets the message of Hannaniah and makes the discovery of the ages. But she is not alone in the search, and the race quickly turns very deadly.

What will become of the bones in the burial mound? Will the Israelis take them? The Iraqis? The CIA? The Vatican? All parties have deep interest in keeping the bones secret. But are they really those of Jesus and his disciples—and his daughter, born after the crucifixion? In the stunning conclusion, Molly makes a shocking decision about who will be the bones' final keeper.

"We look for fiction that entertains and takes readers to unexpected places," said Kunati publisher Derek Armstrong. "Hunting the King does that by telling a great story and making it possible for readers to think about certain things they might have taken for granted or been afraid to question. It's a fantastic adventure tale, and thought-provoking at the same time. What's better than that?"

Hunting the King released to extensive publicity in April of 2008 from Kunati Books, called a "new publisher to watch" by Booklist.
