Past and present collide in the opening pages of The Barbarossa Covenant as retired FBI agent Justin Scott becomes a target for assassination while en route to Rome at the behest of the Vatican's secretary of state. Before learning who wants him dead and why, the reader is whisked back to 1940 wartime London where naval intelligence is working on an audacious plan to thwart the imminent cross channel German invasion. With England's fate hanging in the balance, a papal emissary hand-delivers a sealed letter to Adolf Hitler from a source no mortal would dare ignore or disobey. Its instructions are simple. He must immediately turn his attention to the destruction of Russia. England is spared and the mysterious letter soon lost to history-only to surface in the Vatican decades later. Seemingly penned by an unimpeachable source, it warns with God-given certitude that the hour of the Apocalypse is at hand. A deeply troubled pope now wants Justin to either authenticate-or disprove-the message and the messenger-an all but impossible task.
In an uphill race against the Doomsday Clock, Justin's quest takes him to several European capitals, then into London for a midnight meeting at 10 Downing Street where he uncovers an electrifying secret-and learns a shocking truth buried between the lines of the frightening letter. Dodging several attempts on his life, Justin races back to Rome and into a trap sprung by terrorists consumed with a blood-chilling agenda
. The Barbarossa Covenant is a fast-paced thriller evocative of such bestsellers as Steve Berry's The Patriot Threat or Ken Follett's classic Eye of the Needle. Its time-tested hi-octane formula of interweaving fiction and historical fact inside a meticulously crafted plot will guarantee hours of enjoyment for its target audience of thriller aficionados everywhere.
