Christian thriller

No human would suspect gentle, eccentric Professor Ruben Welch of being the leader of a clandestine group of Christian believers who are fighting a hidden evil. But the enemy has harnessed artificial intelligence to see beyond human perspective. Now Welch is caught between a cold, calculating assassin, a ruthless enemy trouble-shooter, and an agent of legendary beauty.

Sent by rival enemy factions, the assassin has deadly skills, and the troubleshooter has a deadly plan. Both aim to annihilate Welch’s entire team. The troubleshooter has deployed a betrayer and a new type of virus, genetically keyed for one purpose. The lethal germ is meant to be carried back to the heart of Welch’s group and kill them all.

Years ago, when Shifra Federov was the Mossad’s best man trap, she came to know Welch as the one man who sees her as she longs to be seen. Could she be the one to unlock the part of Welch he thought was sealed forever?

As the virus inches toward its fatal purpose, the assassin is having some unusual conversations with a girl no one else can see. Is God at work, or something else?

When the odds overwhelm, Welch must form a strange alliance. Is his new partner a friend or foe? Even if his leap of faith succeeds, if he isn’t betrayed, and he doesn’t run out of time, Welch might still have to sacrifice himself to save those he loves.

HEA, standalone, with no cliffhanger.
