Hidden Order

An American agency operates in secret, answers to no one and passes itself off as part of the United States government. Its power is vast, and control of it has just slipped away. Five candidates were under consideration to take charge, and all five have vanished.

Covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath is called to Washington and sent after them. The hunt is the most dangerous ever staged on American soil. When the candidates start turning up murdered, it stops being a private operation and plays out in full public view.

Every sign points to a shadowy American cabal founded in the 1700s. Harvath has to pick apart a conspiracy that has been building for centuries, while the country edges toward collapse and he tries to stop what is described as the greatest threat America has faced.

This is a political action thriller with a conspiracy at its core, a fast, high-stakes chase and an enemy whose motives are hard to read. A free prelude, Free Fall: A Prelude to Hidden Order, is available to download.
