BOOK OF NAMES:GREGORY;TINTORI

'As a result of a childhood tragedy, Professor David Shepherd finds himself the keeper of knowledge that holds the world in a delicate balance. He knows who is in the Book of names, an ancient text originating with the biblical Adam, thought lost forever. By Kabbalistic tradition, the book contains the names of each generation's 36 righteous souls - the Hidden Ones - by whose existence alone the world survives. Legend holds that if all 36 Hidden Ones were eliminated, the world would be destroyed.' --COVER.
