Inside the covert agency known only as office 119, agents Rentate Bachle and Lawton Caine are called upon to identify the groups responsible for the bloodshed. But the so-called "Black Christmas" attachks are nothing more than a smoke screen for a far more sinister conspiracy. At its heart are ruthless secret societies with blood ties that date back thousands of years, whose goals are nothing less than global domination. Renate and Lawton are only beginning to fathom how far the darkness extends. With the U.S. president set to deploy nuclear weapons against the wrong targets and religious violence erupting across Europe, they must untangle the interwoven plots before time runs out and Armageddon becomes a terrifying reality.
Good book.
I found it was an enjoyable read and you could follow the current story without reading the earlier ones (though there are alot of references/inferences to earlier books in the series).
Tried to read the first two chapters. Just couldn't get into it. It sounds like a great book though. Hopefully someone will enjoy it.
