MACHIAVELLI COVENANT, THE by Allan Folsom - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Allan Folsom.In Washington, D.C., Former LAPD rogue detective Nicholas Marten has
come out of hiding to hunt down the killers of his childhood
sweetheart. The wife of a controversial United States congressman, she
and her husband and son were mysteriously murdered soon after the
congressman discovered a massive clandestine bioweapons program.
In
Europe to meet with distinguished heads of state prior to a crucial
NATO summit in Warsaw, US President John Henry Harris may well face the
same deadly fate. A secret cabal within his own administration orders
Harris to have the president of France and the chancellor of Germany
assassinated. Refusal, he knows, will mean his death.
Afraid to
trust anyone, even his Secret Service protectors, the President flees
for his life. Pursued by the Secret Service, the CIA, and Spanish
Intelligence who believe he is the victim of foul play, Harris joins
forces with Nicholas Marten and the beautiful but enigmatic French
photo-journalist, Demi Picard. Together the three uncover one of the
most secretive and brutally powerful groups the world has ever known, a
brotherhood of blood that will stop at nothing to realize their own
depraved ambitions. The assassination of world leaders, a genocidal
attack on a major civilian populace with of weapons of mass destruction
-- nothing is beyond them.
The origin of their evil reaches back
to the Renaissance when the dying political thinker Niccolo Machiavelli
fashioned a sinister addendum to his most infamous work, The Prince. Titled simply The Covenant,
it is a terrifying blueprint for the gaining and keeping of true
political power. For five hundred years this despotic order of
the supremely rich and powerful has kept Machiavelli's original
manuscript hidden away under heavy guard, the document itself worshiped
like some divine artifact. Bonded by complicity in ritual murder and
dedicated to a singular vision of global domination, over the centuries
they have prospered far beyond any dreams of power and avarice.
Outmanned, outnumbered, outgunned, three people now stand alone against
it: Nicholas Marten, Demi Picard and John Henry Harris, President of
the United States.
