Hade's Gambit

In Hade's Gambit, book one of the Krypteia Conspiracy, the world is in her final days. The Book of Revelations lays out the final days leading up to the Second Coming of Christ, but the Book of Revelations is not complete. There are more scriptures to be revealed, hidden for thousands of years; a prophecy that states that three mortals will rise up in the latter days and with them have the power to thwart evil and bring about the thousand year reign of Christ. But failure will mean the opposite – a thousand years of Hell on earth. And that has been a plan thousands of years in the making.

As if the stakes weren’t high enough, good is woefully outnumbered in the last days and facing one of its most dire challenges – the machinations of one of the most brutal beings the world has ever seen, a man named Hade.

Seven foot tall, dressed all in black, covered in tattoos, with a stunning intellect and a quick wit, Hade will use everything in his power to to not only take over the world but to remake it in his image. And unfortunately for those who choose to oppose him, his most powerful weapon is an army of zombies, bent on death and destruction for all who stand in their way. There is no escape from his legions of the undead.

Hade's Gambit is a unique and intelligent take on the End of the World, Zombie thrillers, conspiracy theories,political and military history, and even romance. Be prepared, Hade is coming and the world will never be the same!

Set for release in early 2012.
