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.

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. $0.99 on Kindle.
