Carve up the world into three parts under brilliant arch-villains and start the devastating global caliphate. A simple strategy. But who's calling the shots for the caliphate? And who will stop them? Special-ops veteran Max Braxton, archaeologist Kat Cardova, and a bunch of Yale students … that's who! From Washington, DC, to Saudi Arabia, this gripping geopolitical thriller demands the utmost that adrenaline junkies have come to expect from Max and Kat since they debuted in Chasing the Music, the action-drenched hunt for King David's music of the Psalms. What would happen if the United States, beset by Islamic terrorist attacks and under the leadership of an untested, newly elected President, discovers in the inaugural address that despite his proclamations to the opposite, the President would acquiesce to all the demands of Israel's enemies? Terror cells are hidden in every state in America. Do they go even as deep as the inner sanctum of the White House? A hero's instincts, a heroine's expertise, and a twist of Yale students' skills must uncover the devastating secrets and save the country. Make that the world.
