"The Omega Scroll" is the first novel of Australian author Adrian d'Hagé.

The novel takes place in The Vatican and the Middle East. Vaulting ambition undoes a cardinal who goes to extraordinary lengths to secure higher office.

Plot summary

The Pope's health is failing and the Cardinal Secretary of State, the ruthless Lorenzo Petroni, has the Keys to St Peter within his grasp. Three things threaten to destroy him: Cardinal Giovanni Donelli has started an investigation into the Vatican Bank; journalist Tom Schweiker is looking into Petroni's past; and, even more dangerously, the brilliant Dr Allegra Bassetti, one of the world's foremost authorities on archaeological DNA, is piecing together fragments of the Omega Scroll in war-torn Jerusalem. Donelli, Schweiker and Bassetti must fight for their lives in a deadly race for the scroll. The Vatican will stop at nothing in its quest to keep the prophecy hidden.

At the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, Mike McKinnon is investigating a number of missing nuclear suitcase bombs and suspects they are connected to the warning in the Omega Scroll.

In the Judaean Desert a few more grains of sand trickle from the wall of a cave. The countdown for civilisation has begun.
