“I was invited to read an ARC of this by by W. M. Leesman, as I also read the first novel in this series. This book continues the theme of how greed and the lust for power can lead people to do anything to get what they want, no matter the cost. There are at least two pieces of the original 30 pieces of silver returned to the High Priest from Judas when he betrayed Christ, believed to be missing and in the hands of very powerful people.
As the silver coins hold some mystical power, the main character of this novel, Kayne Hamilton, is being manipulated by his ‘father, Daniel Hamilton, who happens to have one of the missing coins in his possession. As a media mogul and Nazi sympathizer, Daniel is going to be paramount in trying to manipulate a new world order through political means, and will start a worldwide conspiracy that will rock the foundations of many countries. In doing so, Daniel is trying to pit his younger son Kayne against his older son Aaron to start this and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
The Order, who are trying to find all these pieces of silver, are the safe keepers of the coins to protect them from falling into the wrong hands. However, as the newest members of The Order are searching for the remaining coins, there seems to be a possibility of a mole somewhere in the ranks. Too many things are going wrong, who should or should not be trusted.
So many realistic characters, all involved in some way with these coins, take the reader along many different paths, all leading to a surprising outcome, that leaves you thinking ‘this can’t be the end of the book!’. Excellent read, one you will not be able to put down and will keep you involved until the very end. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series.”
