| Summary |
"The Great God Gold" by William Le Queux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Doctor Raymond Diamond and a dying stranger who harbors a secret that could change the course of history. The discovery intertwined with themes of mystery, adventure, and the lure of wealth promises to explore significant historical and possibly biblical implications. The opening of the novel introduces a mysterious dying man in a Paris hotel, whose refusal to divulge his name or purpose creates intrigue. He hands a blue envelope to Doctor Diamond, urging him to burn its contents just before he passes away. The doctor, curious about the stranger's identity and the lost envelope's secrets, retrieves some partially burned papers. As Diamond examines the remnants, he realizes they may hold an astonishing revelation, setting the stage for explorations of hidden knowledge, the quest for wealth, and the implications of the stranger's discoveries on both the men involved and potentially the wider world.
