A desperate race to find the Ark of the Covenant — and save the world from a devastating Holy War.
The curator of the Museum of Antiquities in Cairo is ritually slaughtered by a group wearing masks of Ancient Egyptian deities.
A decapitated head is found on the replica Ark of the Covenant in Washington DC with a warning of escalating violence in the Middle East.
ARKANE agents, Morgan Sierra and Jake Timber, must race against time to find the real Ark pursued by a vicious mercenary team bent on bloody revenge.
As they follow a trail of clues and retrace the steps of the Biblical Exodus across Ethiopia, Egypt and Jordan, Morgan and Jake must enter the mists of history and the realms of mortal danger…
ARK OF BLOOD is an action-packed, pulse-pounding thriller filled with adventure and excitement. It also questions the nature of religion…and the beliefs that lie at the very heart of humankind.

“J.F. Penn has once again given us an adventure story that can hold it’s own against any other I’ve read. As the hero Morgan Sierra races to find the lost Ark of the Covenant, Penn takes the reader on a wild journey through Egypt, the middle East and the Holy Land.
