Assisted by the Sanguinists Christians who drink wine instead of
blood, the Woman of Learning archaeologist Dr. Erin Granger, the
Warrior of Man U.S.
Army Sergeant Jordan Stone and the Knight of Christ Father Ruhn Korza continue their
battle against the blood drinking Strigori. As the world turns increasingly ugly, Dr.
Granger struggles to interpret the Blood Gospel
written by Christ.
At the same time, Lucifer appears ready to escape
his eternal incarceration, his Strigori minion, a demonic horde and worse
continue to cause world-wide havoc. With
the Apocalypse doomsday countdown imminent, Granger, Stone and Korza search for
the last hope for salvation, the missing for over a for millennium Chalice that
the trio believes either is possessed by a Legion the demon at the gates of the
Vatican or trapped in Hell.
The third Order of the Sanguines thriller (see Innocent Blood and
The Blood Gospel) is an action-packed exhilarating thriller that explores the
price of salvation; even the truest believers tussle with dogmatically
accepting the cost that can supersede their faith in a heavenly outcome. The heroic threesome pursues their quest in
spite of suffering numerous wounds, injuries and fatigue that would falter Job
and the Man of La Mancha as each of the threesome is “… willing to march into
hell for that heavenly cause” (“The Impossible
Dream"). Fast-paced from the
start and decelerating, this is a fabulous finish made stronger by a terrific
late twist.
