Statistician Larry Massa Uses Bible Code Techniques to Create Mystery Fiction

Statistician Larry Massa Uses Bible Code Techniques to Create Mystery Fiction

ENUMCLAW, Wash., June 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- On September 11, 2001, the world was shocked when the Twin Towers fell. Yet, using the Bible Code, Hebrew scholars found this event embedded in the plaintext of the first 5 books of the Hebrew Bible, the Torah. Other modern events including the Great Depression, the regime of Hitler, and the assassination of JFK were found. This Bible Code is the inspiration for "Catacombs," a novel about a treasure hunt in Bible lands for the lost tomb of Melchizedek. Using his 20 years experience in applied mathematics, his research into the Bible Code, his knowledge of cryptology, and his improvisation skills as an actor for a Murder Mystery Dinner company, Larry Massa has written a fast-paced novel with a series of fascinating puzzles.


"Catacombs" reads along the lines of the movie series "National Treasure" with a race against time and enemies layered along the way. Kidnapping, betrayal, and a trail of ciphers draw Roman Advocate Joseph Justus deeper and deeper into a web of intrigue, betrayal, and all-encompassing greed even to the heights of the religious government in biblical Jerusalem.

Filled with excitement and action, "Catacombs" is a page turner:

Justus grabbed the fallen sword, spun around, and swung violently at the leader, who by then had his sword drawn and parried the stroke.

Justus continued his onslaught. The sound of metal bouncing off metal was deafening. His skill allowed Justus to quickly gain the advantage. He was about to land a fatal blow when everything went black. Stunned, he fell to his knees and dropped his weapon.

The tall, thin bandit wrapped the rope around Justus, pinning his arms to his sides and lifted him to his feet.

Justus shook his head trying to clear his grogginess and succeeded in spotting the branch used to club him. Turning, he scanned the desert area away from the seaside and saw the fat bandit simply standing. Amazing. Michal was so far in front of him he'd never catch her ... and she was still sprinting at top speed. What a runner.

In addition to his work with codes and puzzles, Larry Massa is an enthusiastic teacher, public speaker, and the author of "Armageddon Now," a look at Bible prophesy in light of modern technology.
