The Players Gather

Who will save an ancient city from nuclear disaster? The stage is set in The Players Gather, the first installment of André John Haddad's heart-stopping international suspense trilogy, The Jerusalem Cycle.

Across centuries and continents, Jerusalem has remained at the center of a perpetual cycle of violence and brutality.  It is on everyone's radar at the Triage Group, a Massachusetts consulting firm. This is especially true for Louise Destrey, head of Triage operations, and for Lola, the firm's supercomputer that can estimate the likelihood of future events.

Louise and Lola know that disaster in Jerusalem is imminent. Destrey feels powerless to do anything about it until she meets Cardinal Hedrick Zimmer, a man eager to break the cycle before the city is plunged into chaos. He's assembling a team of crusaders and invites Destrey to join as a consultant.

Together, they vow to transform the mindset of millions of Jerusalemites and spare the world from a nuclear disaster. The challenge is one of a kind; the task seemingly impossible to achieve.

Changing the future in a region rife with conflict isn't easy. Can Zimmer and Destrey beat the odds—and the cycle—for good?

If you like reading Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum, you won't be able to put down this thriller until the very last page.
