Because things just couldn't get any worse.Micaiah is dead. No tricks. No schemes. He's gone. And with him goes any hope of defeating the Cult as the Akarin spiral out of control.Rifun isn't about to waste this opportunity, and he readily assumes the role of mentor for Tommen's Akari training, taking him into the heart of Cult operations and inducting him into the army.But even that pales in comparison to the war being waged on Earth, a war that is no longer a secret. The Borelians have established themselves as a terrorist group, killing and kidnapping humans right and left, leaving the Time Agents scrambling to stop them. Defense is negligible, offense is laughable, and any progress they do make may not come in time to save them.The boiling point is past, and things are about to explode.

Conventional methods fail to identify the terrorist, leaving the president only one option: elite counterterrorism case officer Kyle McEwan. McEwan is the classified, off-the-books weapon of last resort America's chief executives unleash when all else fails.McEwan's relentless international pursuit across three continents generates intelligence from kidnappings and murders of the world's foremost bioweapons experts. His investigation unmasks the terrorist and identifies the bioagent. However, America's greatest scientific minds cannot decipher the genetics of the altered infectious disease to invent a counteracting medical solution. Powerful deep state forces end-run McEwan, their political machinations complicating his search and increasing the likelihood of an attack on US soil. McEwan must win these internal conflicts while combating embedded cells blocking him from taking the terrorist head-on.Two deadly weapons hurtle toward each other: the terror mastermind determined to strike, and McEwan resolved to stop him. Global survival hangs in the balance. Who will prevail?Terror's Sword's action-packed battles between the competing forces of good and evil keep readers on the edge of their seats waiting for the explosive finale.

Eighteen centuries are a long while in the life-time of a lie, but a brief span in the eternity of Truth. The Fiction is sure to be found out, and the Lie will fall at last! At last! At last!!!In presenting my readers with some of the data which show that much of the Christian History was pre-extant as Egyptian Mythology, I have to ask you to bear in mind that the facts, like other foundations, have been buried out of sight for thousands of years in a hieroglyphical language, that was never really read by Greek or Roman, and could not be read until the lost clue was discovered by Champollion, almost the other day! In this way the original sources of our Mytholatry and Christology remained as hidden as those of the Nile, until the century in which we live.
