A Dr. Michael Sterling Spy Thriller. This hot intelligent spy is moving on. He is married to a very delicious M.D. who doesn't know he is a spy but thinks he is a financial auditor and is required to do a lot of out of town audits (ha ha). The actions starts right up and Michael's right on top or should I say in the center of it. He is a party to peace negotiations being held in the ancient Grand Mosque of Umayyad, Damascas, Syria. The peace negotiations are interrupted by a rogue company of Hezbollah soldiers. This story is full of players who have mixed alliances, sometimes acting in their principle role and other times acting as a party in a mysterious hidden group that has been the puppet masters behind the powers. It seems betrayal is present on every other page with the hidden power brokers influencing every level administration from the CIA to Syria's Intelligence and the Vatican security. Apparently this hidden power has been influencing the direction of the Roman Catholic Church and World governments to meet their secret ambitions. These shadow groups known over time as the Knights Templar, Priory of Sion, Rosacrucians, Free Masons and now, The New World Order have wielded influence over time to control the course of history to favor their objectives. Dr. Michael Sterling moves among the plotters following the clues that were left for him and using his education, friends and position to wage war against the plotters in an attempt to avoid world war. His insights into the world of intelligence, religion (both western and eastern) and native intelligence serve him well in his crusade. If you really enjoy edge of the chair, non stop action and exposure to war craft and technology, this is the book for you! A great read! ( )
