As resentment over austerity measures and the mounting tide of Muslim refugees swells across southern Europe—resentment fueled by Tulley’s stolen billions—a newly elected pope is sounding a clarion call for a global war to exterminate Islam. A war taken straight off the pages of The Revelation of St. John, threatening nothing less than the annihilation of the human race. And only two people stand the slightest chance of stopping it. The problem is, Tulley knows who they are. And, even worse, he knows where they live.
The riveting final chapter in the award-winning Resumed Innocent trilogy, New Rome Rising is a heart-pounding tale of espionage and intrigue, of religious and secular ambitions intertwining to threaten the very future of humanity. A political and social tsunami ripped straight out of today’s headlines. As sociopath William Tulley labors step-by-step behind the scenes to manipulate the frustrated, forgotten masses of Europe, his goal no less than a resurrected Roman Empire with him at its head, Europe’s leaders seem powerless to control the mounting chaos.
Meanwhile, a wave of cryptic Christian symbols has finally completed its long journey from Turkey to the Spanish seashore, and Tulley’s daughter-in-law Samantha and her friend, disgraced FBI agent Gavin Larson, are racing across Europe and North Africa digging up clues buried within long-forgotten secrets of the Christian faith. Secrets the Church and William Tulley would rather keep buried.
As the crisis mounts, Sam and Gavin find themselves always one move behind Tulley’s intricate game of global chess, and the timer is ticking. Even worse, Tulley now has them both in his sights. The hunters have now become the hunted.
Religion, politics, sex—nothing is sacred any longer to William Tulley and his mercenary army. It’s a win or die trying proposition, so losing isn’t an option for either side. And at the very heart of this furious fight to the death is one of the oldest, most historic cities of all. New Rome.
