"SECRETS OF THE HOLY LANCE: The Spear of Destiny in History & Legend," by Jerry E. Smith and George Piccard, weaves together the many threads of the Spear of Destiny's legend like no book before it ever has!  According to the Gospel of John in the New Testament as Jesus Christ hung on the Cross a Roman centurion pierced His side with a lance.  A legend has arisen that "whosoever possesses this Holy Lance and understands the powers it serves, holds in his hand the destiny of the world for good or evil." SECRETS OF THE HOLY LANCE places this legend against the backdrop of world history: from its appearance at the Crucifixion; its use by Constantine, Rome's first Christian Caesar; to Charlemagne's claim that with it he ruled the Holy Roman Empire by Divine Right; and on through twelve hundred years of kings and emperors, until it came within Adolf Hitler's grasp -- and beyond! Is it now hidden in Europe, in the hands of next-generation Nazi occultists bent on using its power to shape the destiny of mankind?

Jerry E. Smith, author, has been a writer, editor and activist for over three decades. In the early 1990s he was the Executive Director of the National UFO Museum in Reno, Nevada. His bibliography of published works includes scores of articles and reviews, over a dozen ghost-written books, and two non-fiction works from Adventures Unlimited Press: HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy and SECRETS OF THE HOLY LANCE: The Spear Of Destiny In History & Legend. The later was co-authored with George Piccard, who wrote LIQUID CONSPIRACY: JFK, LSD, the CIA, Area 51, and UFOs.
