    About this ebook

    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.

    His military training along with his engineering degree made him an ideal candidate for the FBI undercover-contract work that saw him attending a water-shortages conference in Cairo. While his elegant business card supports his identity as an executive for an environmental firm out of Toledo, Ohio, his hidden mandate is to track a terrorist financier who has been hiding in plain sight—seemingly untouchable by any law agency of any country.

    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.

    I'm a writer. That's all that can be said here. I love writing and I absolutely hate marketing. It just goes to show you where your natural talents lie. Writing comes easy. Marketing...that's something I will be learning until the day I die. All I can say about my books is that they're meant to entertain.
