CIA Deputy Director Ryan Hunter discovers that elite power brokers known as The Ring have devised a diabolical plan called Operation Stratagem. The operation will unleash a bio-weapon to create a worldwide pandemic to sell millions of experimental vaccines, reduce the world's population, and establish a global government.

Ryan leaves the CIA and joins a clandestine group that includes a physician and research scientist, a retired U.S. Senator, and former NSA and FBI deputy directors. These dedicated patriots are working to stop Operation Stratagem and expose those working behind closed doors to bring the plan to fruition.

Inspired by actual events, this fast-paced political thriller follows Ryan Hunter and the patriots in their battle to stop The Ring's goal of imposing a dystopian future on the world.

Exposing the truth can exact a horrible price.

Evocatus II Bloodline - Synopsis


Three years after 9/11, Lauren Hunter is living the good life on the French Riviera—a world away from Tel Aviv, Israel where her estranged son Ryan is a CIA officer.


Ryan Hunter believes his mother, a Port Authority police officer, was killed in the North Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11. He has no idea Lauren was part of a clandestine black operation responsible for the attacks.


Ryan is shown evidence his mother is alive and leaves the CIA to search for her. He is unaware a sinister group of elitists known as The Ring is attempting to locate and silence Lauren and her fellow conspirators.


The Ring has hired former US Army Delta Force member Nate Lashlie to lead a group of mercenaries on a mission to follow Ryan to his mother and force her to reveal the location of her former 9/11 compatriots. They have orders to kill them all and collect the bounty.


Ryan enlists the help of a fellow CIA officer, a former White House terrorism czar, and an NSA deputy director in the race to find his mother ahead of the mercenaries.


This fast-paced suspense thriller is the second book in the Evocatus Series and takes the reader on an exciting worldwide quest as a son struggles to find and save his long-lost mother from certain death.


Along the way, he learns the shocking truth she vowed to keep secret.
