A murdered psychologist with ties to a secret CIA-funded remote viewing project . . .

A haunted young Iraq War vet with a "psycho" discharge and a talent that has marked her for death . . .

A deadly secret that will rock the world.

When the charred remains of Tulane professor Henry Youngblood are discovered in the burned-out ruins of his New Orleans offices, the CIA sends maverick troubleshooter Jax Alexander to investigate.

Synopsis:

When the body of Tulane professor Henry Youngblood is discovered in the burned-out ruins of his New Orleans office, alarm bells go off at Langley. During the Seventies and Eighties, both the United States and the Soviet Union aggressively pursued programs to train operatives in a psychic method they called remote viewing, a new and highly controversial technique for gathering intelligence.Although all government psi-ops programs were officially closed down in 1995, Youngblood was secretly trying to revive interest in remote viewing. Sent to investigate is Jax Alexander, a CIA agent with a tarnished reputation. Though he isn't thrilled to be associated with some crazy program to train psychic spies, it doesn't take him long to discover that Youngblood's killers have another victim in their sights: linguist and Navy veteran October Guinness. Tobie saw something she shouldn't have seen and, now running for her life, she teams up with Jax in a desperate search for clues to prevent the US military from using the ultimate assault weapon: The Armageddon Plan.
