My friend and evil genius Steven Savile is about to hit the U.S. market in a big way. I recommend that we all load up on shotgun shells and dry food goods, because the end is nigh!Get a load of this:
Two thousand years ago, thirty shekels were paid to secure the most infamous betrayal of all time. Melted down by the grandsons of Judas Iscariot, Menahem, and Eleazar ben Jair in the dark heart of the Sicarii fortress, Masada, the silver was re-forged as a dagger. When the Sicarii zealots committed mass suicide in AD73, the dagger of Iscariot and the truth of his sacrifice were lost. Until now.
A religious cult calling itself the Disciples of Judas has risen in the Middle East. Its influence is pernicious, its reach long. In thirteen cities across Europe thirteen people martyr themselves in the name of Judas, promising forty days and forty nights of terror. On the last day, they promise, faith will fall. Everything you believe in will be proved wrong.
In a race against time and prophecy -- believing the terrorists intend to assassinate the Pope -- a team of combat specialists codenamed Ogmios tracks a labyrinthine course through truth, shades of truth and outright lies that will take them all the way into the heart of the Holy See itself.
And today is Day One.
Holy crap, dudes! This book is seeing high praise from the likes of Douglas Preston, Steven Alten, and many, many more top names as the next big thriller Godzilla -- big enough to knock off the likes of Dan Brown. So run. Run for your bomb shelters now.
