The ''Babylon Rising'' sequence is a Christian-themed thriller series by Creator/TimLaHaye (of ''Literature/LeftBehind'' fame) and co-writers Bob Phillips and Greg Dinallo (who worked on the first novel only). The story follows AdventurerArchaeologist and Bible scholar Michael Murphy in his attempts to find evidence of Literature/TheBible's truth by recovering artifacts. However, the stakes grow dramatically when Murphy uncovers an AncientConspiracy, in which a powerful secret society known as "the Seven" seeks to bring TheAntichrist to power. In his attempts to thwart the Seven, Murphy is aided by the mysterious Methuselah, an eccentric billionaire HollywoodAtheist who provides him with information; Isis Proserpina [=McDonald=], an expert in ancient languages; Shari Nelson, his research assistant; and [[BadAssIsraeli ex-Mossad agent]] Levi Abrams. Working with the Seven are Talon, an assassin who trains falcons to kill for him, and CorruptCorporateExecutive media mogul Shane Barrington.
