The Kindred Heritage

At stake is nothing less than global peace.

President Kimbel Stones must transition super operative Magus Crayle from the field to a desk job at Langley. The top desk job. Downside? The end of the invaluable, off the books team led by Crayle. Stones also needs his CIA Director nominee approved by the U.S. Senate confirmation committee ... without providing valid biographical data or a name. A seriously tough row to hoe.

Crayle's intel team members are already moving on. Alona is back to her defense attorney role in Southern California's Big Bear Valley. Former SEAL Micmac is off on a new gadget development project for the CIA's Science and Technology Directorate. His wife, Phoebe, is due to return to her previous FBI agent position. Lenny is considering a jumpstart of his late father's P.I. firm to assist attorney wife Alona. And Crayle's exotic and talented spouse, Hekka, is about to undertake a quest to discover the South Asian source of her indigenous ancestors' migrations.

Not so fast!

The secret society Illuminé, while conducting its own quest to replace ineffective and corrupt governments with enlightened authoritarian leaders, has produced a new French monarchy, a return to czarist rule in Russia, and a new Chinese empire. Just the beginning. A proof of concept, if you will. The Crayle and team-decimated society retains a spark of life. The Illuminé will fight back.

Then, of course, we have the leaders of the three One-God religions. Crayle got things started with the A Summit, which took place on the east Atlantic, Portuguese island of Madeira. The recent B Summit in Casablanca successfully enlisted both Crayle and Stones to the task, thus assuring the two Americans would need to see that through, as well.

A great deal to consume.
And the clock is ticking!
