Una terribile pandemia sconvolge il mondo. In un laboratorio sotterraneo di Milano 2, un team di ricercatori internazionali riesce a creare un vaccino contro il mostruoso "Algos" che sta decimando la popolazione mondiale, ma proprio nel giorno della scoperta, un commando di mercenari fa irruzione nell'ingresso di superficie e cerca un modo per penetrare sottoterra.Casualità? Solamente sette ricercatori ed un addetto alla sicurezza molto speciale, rimangono i custodi dell'unica cura che può salvare l'umanità dall'estinzione.

Il diavolo vive sulla terra, ma qualcuno gli da la caccia per eliminare il male dalla faccia del pianeta, mentre lui vorrebbe solo avere una vita normale.

The volume contains eight original studies, each of which focuses on a different chapter or central passage in Daniel and offers a new interpretation or reading of the passage in question. The studies span the Danielic tales and apocalypses, offering innovative analyses that often challenge the scholarly consensus regarding the exegesis of this book. The eight chapters relate to Daniel 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, Susanna, and the conception of angelology in Daniel. The studies are all based on careful textual analysis, including comparison between the Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek versions (especially regarding Daniel 4-6), and, in each case, the larger arguments are built upon solid philological foundations. Many of the insights proposed in this volume are based upon the realization that the authors of Daniel were frequently interpreters of earlier biblical books, and that the identification of these intertextual clues can be the key to unlocking the meaning of these texts. In this sense, Daniel is similar to other contemporaneous works, such as Jubilees and Qumran literature, but the extent of this phenomenon has not been fully appreciated by scholars of the book. This volume therefore contributes to the appreciation of Daniel as both the latest book in the Hebrew Bible, and a significant work in the landscape of Second Temple Judaism.

Contradictions within the book of Jubilees suggest the need for an expanded critical approach. The author uses literary-criticism to propose that the editor of Jubilees adopted extant reworked sources and added his own legal and chronological framework.
