The Lost Theriac: Η ΧΑΜΕΝΗ ΘΗΡΙΑΚΗ
THE LOST THERIAC
A Johnny Crumb Adventure
An ancient cure. A deadly conspiracy. A discovery that could change the world.
When mild-mannered British pharmacist Johnny Crumb discovers a cryptic ancient Greek fragment among the belongings of his murdered mentor, he is thrust into a race against time and two of the most powerful forces in the modern world.
The fragment points to a long-lost formula: the legendary Theriac, a universal healing elixir whispered about since the time of Jesus, believed to have vanished centuries ago. But this is no medieval superstition. The formula predates even Galen, woven with both pharmacological brilliance and sacred ritual. If it is real... and if it works, it could transform modern medicine... or destroy it.
Unwillingly drawn into a dangerous conspiracy, Johnny must team up with Dr. Alexandra "Lexi" Monroe, an American archaeologist with expertise in ancient healing cults. Together, they unravel a trail of hidden manuscripts, coded messages, and monastic secrets, stretching from the libraries of Rome to the streets of Istanbul and Athens.
But powerful enemies are watching.
A ruthless Vatican Cardinal will stop at nothing to suppress the formula, convinced it threatens the very foundations of the Church. A pharmaceutical CEO sees only untold profits and is prepared to kill for control of the Theriac. Both will hunt Johnny and Lexi across Europe and beyond.
With only their wits, ancient texts, and fragile alliances, Johnny and Lexi must stay one step ahead - and decide how much of the truth they dare unleash upon the world.
The Lost Theriac is a fast-paced thriller blending history, science, religion, and suspense. Fans of Dan Brown, James Rollins, Steve Berry, and Matthew Reilly will devour this gripping debut adventure.
In the race for the truth, only one thing is certain:
Some discoveries should never be made.
