Giordano Bruno travels through Europe enraging the Catholic Church with his heretical theses. In Venice, he makes the acquaintance of Nuno Alvarez, a Dominican friar.

Alvarez tells Bruno about a fabled golden cross, which is in his possession. According to legend, it points the way to the genesis of humankind. The Holy Inquisition wants to take possession of the cross, by all means. Alvarez manages to flee but Giordano Bruno is captured and sentenced to death. But even when he is already burning at the stake, he does not waver from his conviction that the earth is not the only planet with intelligent life. Today. Diego Camaro is an obscure adventurer, who earns his money by searching for old artifacts, sunken ships, and ancient burial sites that are filled with precious treasures. The new reality TV show „Gold Fever“ could not come at a better time for Diego. Archaeologists have found an old parchment, which allegedly shows the way to the treasure of the Templars. Researchers have been hunting for this treasure for centuries. So far, nobody has been able to make any real sense out of the parchment’s content. The finder of the parchment, the multi-billionaire and media mogul William McAllistair, comes up with an audacious plan: He creates the show „Gold Fever“. Dozens of research teams will search simultaneously for the treasure, all under the watchful eye of camera crews. The prize money is enticing, as it is in the millions. Even though Camaro is not too convinced of the effectiveness of the media hype, the show might be his chance to scoop up a huge amount of money. But suddenly strange things happen: research teams disappear or lose their lives in accidents. There seems to exist a powerful organization that wants to prevent the treasure from being found. And fact is that Camaro is on to something: He discovers a golden cross, which marks the exact location where the treasure of the Templars is hidden. But obviously this treasure does not consist of gold, as everybody assumes. The Templar secret reveals how life on earth came to be and where humanity really originated. Bastei Lübbe GmbH & Co.
