What if you could bio-engineer the next great world prophet, to scientifically produce the next Buddha, the next Mohammed, or the next Jesus? Would it mark the Second Coming or initiate a chain reaction leading to the end of mankind?

A thinktank of world scientists formed during the Cold War has discovered a way to manipulate and enhance autistic children who show savant talents - mathematical geniuses, statistical masterminds, brilliant conceptual artists - but a strange side-effect begins to arise. Before it can be analyzed fully, a rogue group of scientists begin their own secret experimentation with a cadre of the best children. They seek to create a world prophet for the new millennium, one to be manipulated to create a new era of global peace...a peace on their own terms.

But such manipulation has grim consequences as a biological meltdown among the children begins to occur - turning the innocent into something frightening.

Can Commander Gray Pierce and his elite SIGMA Force stop the experiments before they engineer the extinction of mankind?

It will be a race against time to solve a mystery that dates back to the first famous oracle of history - the Oracle of Delphi...
