The Peacetaker myth is just a dusty old legend, so obscure that it might be mentioned once or twice at an equally obscure academic convention of historians and college professors…until a symbolic march in Cairo turns into a deadly riot that leaves hundreds of women and children dead and sends thousands more to hospitals. One survivor of the deadly carnage is an ex-special forces soldier, Timothy Carter.

Three months after the deadly riot, scarred and barely-healed Carter, is heading for a sleepy hamlet in upstate Montana, a blood-stained book in hand. His operative took it from the hospital bed stand of a traffic fatality in Cairo. He means to ask the book’s author, a reclusive academic Dr. Stella Hunter, about one minor reference to an ancient Peacetaker myth…the one featured in the passage smeared with the book owner’s blood. $0.99 on Kindle.

‘You don’t know how significant you are. We need you.’No matter where she is, Deirdre feels out of place. So when a cult known as the Center contacts her, wanting her to join up, she’s intrigued. They say a terrible war is coming, humanity is in danger and without explaining why she’s needed for the fight. Suddenly the chance to be spectacular is within her grasp. With the charismatic Myra as the cult leader and talk of prophecies and psychic abilities, Deirdre is soon seduced and ditches her humdrum life to join up. Once inside, her understanding of the world shifts. She learns the truth about the elite, a secret organization that has meddled with humanity since the beginning of time.

The elite use entertainment and the media as a constant distraction to stop people from reaching their true potential. To free themselves of this conditioning, the followers must give up ‘excessive’ food and sleep. They also carry out increasingly bizarre rituals under the critical eye of the Captain, a minor leader of the new followers. He seems to take pleasure from turning them against one another. Tensions increase. The followers gain odd new abilities, but bullying and hysteria also grow. Meanwhile, Myra’s prophecies become increasingly extreme. As paranoia intensifies, Deirdre questions where the belief ends, and delusion begins. $0.99 on Kindle.
