Publisher Description
In an abandoned church deep inside the Syrian Desert, Father Jenkins watches over a group of children who'd been orphaned by war and unrest. Having been marked for extraction by the Vatican Knights, a cabal of ruthless killers from the Islamic State cripples all attempts of safe passage and gives chase across a desert landscape that's completely ruled by scorpions and snakes. With little options and less hope, the Vatican Knights quickly discover that they're in possession of a precious cargo: a young boy by the name of Farid.
As Kimball Hayden and the Vatican Knights fight to preserve the lives they protect, another ISIS team marches on the Vatican to take out the highest and most sacred seat in the land.
But as ISIS marches on Rome and Vatican City, Kimball Hayden, the fulcrum between sinner and saint, finds himself divided by saving the lives of the children and the life of the pontiff, with little chance of preserving both.
Customer Reviews
Lengthy beyond need
Good story. The author fills too many paragraphs telling us the Kimball story about light and darkness and the gray area. Also, we completely get the relationship between Kimball and the Pope. It doesn’t need to be reiterated in every chapter.
Plot has holes, but lots of action
The timeline for the rescue of Hayden is out of whack; no team could fly from Rome to Iraq and then drive hundreds of miles in a few hours. Making a shot at 1/3 mile without a sniper rifle is ridiculous. The trailing bad guy never runs out of gas or sat phone battery.
