The book is a perfect blend of historical mystery and scientific intrigue and it tells about an ancient threat that was hidden in the page of the holy book Bible.

The modern world is at a risk of the Seventh Plague in case this threat comes out.

In case the biblical plagues of Egypt really happened, is it possible that it can happen again and that too on a global scale?

Professor Harold McCabe, the leader of a British archaeological expedition vanished in the Sudanese desert two years back. He appeared suddenly, delirious and frantic, stumbling on the sands, but before he could tell his story, he breathed his last.

Discovery of a bizarre corruption at the time of autopsy deepens the mystery of his death. It was revealed that the body of professor started to mummify while he was still alive.

The strange remains are dispatched back to London, at the same time; alarming news also arrived from Egypt. Those who were performing the autopsy on the professor body have fallen ill with an unknown disease, something that is spreading fast beyond the autopsy lab.

A colleague of the professor sensed something worse in coming time and reaches out to the director of Sigma Force and long time friend, Painter Crowe.

The call is an important one as Professor McCabe disappeared in the desert as he searched for evidence of the ten plagues of Moses. A disturbing question arises as the pandemic grows.

Will the world face plagues of the medieval times?

Before director Crow can come to the scene and investigate things, all the evidences are destroyed by a mysterious group of assassins, leaving only death and destruction behind.

As the body of professor is incinerated, the only person to whom Sigma Force can turn to for help is the daughter, Jane McCabe, of the archaeologist.

This book by Attorney Christopher Ball is a complete guide on how to handle compensation for California workers from beginning to the end.
It will guide on how to work with an insurance company to receive benefits a victim deserves and the medical benefits.
The complex process of determining legal responsibility
It is complicate to determine legal responsibility of an accident, and a lot depends on whether someone was negligent or careless. The blame often goes to the corporation or individual in whose place the accident occurred.
Before coming to that conclusion, it is essential to determine who was at fault legally.
How to Determine Legal Liability
The majority of accidents occur because someone was not careful enough.
The rule of thumb is to find out who was more careless when that accident happen as that person will be the one to pay for the damages.
This rule of carelessness is followed in almost all accident to determine legal liability. Some of the rules that are followed are as follows:
  • In case the injured person was at a place where he or she was not supposed to be, or was at a place where it was expected that accidents may happen, than the person who is blamed for the accident may not be liable to be careful towards the injured person.
  • Another factor that is considered is comparative negligence. In case the injured person was also careless; than the compensation will be reduced to the extent that carelessness resulted in that accident.
  • In case the accident is caused by the negligent person at the time of working for someone else, the legal responsibility of the accident may also go to the employer.
  • In case accident occurred at a poorly maintained or built property, the owner of the property will be held liable, even if the owner did not actually create the dangerous situation.
  • The seller and manufacturer of a defective product are both liable for the accident caused by it, even if it is not clear which one was careless in allowing or creating the defective product.
