Short description

Book 28 of the Assassin Chronicles continues the adventures of the Knights of the Order of the Red Cross of Gold as they struggle through the End Times as prophesied in the Bible and other ancient texts.

Extended description

The Knight of Death faces problems on multiple levels as he contends with the powerful evil ensconced in Omar's palace in New Babylon. He must literally make deals with devils and still try to maintain his sanity and the safety of his friends and family in the process.
The rest of the Order and the Kings of Britain and France set out to destroy the Ark of the Covenant once and for all, but things do not work out as expected. Lemarik, always full of surprises, provides a means of escape for the Order and their allies when an errant celestial body crashes into the Pacific Ocean.
Things begin to heat up again in Scotland as Mark's doppelganger does his best to provide a safe haven for his little family and a corrupt Vatican official begins plotting his future as the next Pope by undermining the Order's integrity with the Holy See.
In the meantime, Abaddon's Karma starts catching up with him.

Review by: snowangel56 on July 12, 2012 : star star star star star
Fantastic read and the saga continues. Mark Andrew continues to mystify me (being split into different individuals is a bit confusing, yet fun!) as do the other characters in this book. I have to say that the most "evolved" character, in my humble opinion, is Selwig, and I am very impressed (I really like the little Tuathan Healer) :o) Some things are made clearer in The Centaur, while other things leave more questions. Still, all in all, a great story. Now the wait for Book XXIX is upon us. I think once the series is complete, I will read from the first book all the way through to the end to pull it all together in my head. If you haven't read this series yet, and enjoy fantasy, romance, and science fiction, along with a fascinating interpretation of a mix of religions thrown in, you don't know WHAT you are MISSING!
