Opis

Five years after the death of Jacob King, the mysteries surrounding his forty-year disappearance and subsequent murder continue to unfold. The CIA has confiscated the video of Err's message, but when it learns that another recording exists, operatives are dispatched to secure it. The information the agents receive, however, is misleading. They think they're fighting terrorism; they don't know that they're suppressing evidence of alien contact. Grieving Jacob's death, his partner, Scott Mulligan, finds a renewed sense of happiness with the birth of his daughter. But that happiness is short-lived. The forces that killed Jacob and took the video of Err also try to rob Scott of the one true joy in his world when they threaten his daughter's life. As the operatives and those they recruit carry out their missions in the interest of national security, they discover that the motives behind their orders are not as just as they believe. What in Err's message is worth going to such extrordinary lengths to conceal? When Hasheed Viaz the man in charge of the operation finds out the truth behind his mission he is engulfed in a tragedy of conscience. Wanting to show that an American Muslim could be as patriotic as the best American he finds his efforts have led to the most horrific murders imaginable. Do good motives modify in any way the guilt of the crime? Who is ultimately responsible? The people following orders thinking they are fighting terrorism, or the people formulating those orders even if in the long run their efforts might save countless lives. And, if they turn out wrong what happens then? For every action there is a reaction. Consequences always ensure. Scott and the following books Da-vid and Erron examine what can happen and take the reader on a journey. It is unexpected, exciting and perhaps prophetic. You will meet some wonderful characters exposed to these situations. How they cope can be a lesson for all of us.
