TONY ELDRIDGE - THE SAMSON EFFECT - This writer has his first novel out, The Samson Effect, and what a great hook! Listen to this...
An ancient secret...
Evidence of a powerful substance lost nearly 3000 years ago...
Most believe it's a myth, but people are dying because some do not...
Dr. Thomas Hamilton, an American Biblical archaeologist and Dr. Michael Sieff, an Israeli Biblical linguist, discover ancient evidence for a lost secret so powerful, it may initiate the final jihad between Islam and the rest of the world. Within their grasp lies the secret of Samson's strength; but they'll have to contend with two opposing forces that will stop at nothing to make sure they don't find it.
