An impossibly-ancient Taoist monk sets out to steal holy relics that are at the center of a mad plot executed by a powerful biotech magnate.

On a mission to repatriate one of those holy relics to a Buddhist monastery in Japan, Gabe Turpin finds himself in a life-and-death struggle with a wraith-of-a-man who can kill with a simple touch.  When a ransom plan is revealed to the Pope, the Dalai Lama and a Grand Ayatollah, the holy men meet in a Buddhist monastery in Japan to consider the danger and develop a counter attack.  As a result of that unprecedented meeting, Gabe Turpin, a Buddhist monk, a Muslim Mullah and a Catholic Priest must find a way to derail an act that could destroy the faith of billions.

Prophets Reborn takes the reader deep into the martial-arts culture of Japan and into the even more arcane world of Esoteric Buddhism and its monasteries and temples.  Prophets Reborn poses big questions to readers, and is a thriller with a strong philosophical backbone.
