Meanwhile, the Ghent Altarpiece is the most violated work of art in the world. Thirteen times it has been vandalised, dismantled, or stolen. Why? What secrets does it hold?
When Nick travels to Belgium for a visit with a woman from his past, he unwittingly stumbles on the trail of the 12th panel for the Ghent Altarpiece, stolen in 1934 under cover of night and never seen since.
Pitted against them is the Vatican, which has wanted for centuries to both find and possess what the nuns guard. Because of Nick, the maidens have finally been compromised and exposed, their secret placed in dire jeopardy - a vulnerability that the Vatican swiftly moves to exploit in an ambitious cardinal and a corrupt archbishop, both with agendas of their own.
In The Omega Factor, Berry offers one of the most mysterious and fascinating works of art covered in the centuries-old conflict and the mystery surrounding it - considered one of the world’s most important works of art from the early 15th century, the Ghent Altarpiece by Hubert & Jan van Eyck. From there, Berry weaves the dark secrets surrounding the masterpiece that evolves into The Omega Factor.
Overall, The Omega Factor is a unique, mysterious, action-packed thrill ride that will grab the reader from the start. It does an excellent job of blending historical facts with compelling fiction. It’s thought-provoking, creative, and suspenseful.
