Beaumont

by Sam Earner

China–Mongolia border 1996. It’s eight years after the dramatic events of Rothwell, and Bruce Noble is now a captain in British Army Intelligence. He sparks a diplomatic storm by helping a Chinese official to defect. The man has a disk containing information about the Chinese President’s secret campaign to subjugate the West, knowledge that cannot be entrusted to the intelligence services. It must go only to the Lady of Rothwell. But Bruce believes she is dead.

Noble’s world is turned upside down as he goes with his gut, defying all authority in a desperate attempt to accomplish his unexpected mission. A fugitive, he discovers a new world, one beyond his wildest the Architects’ Club.

In a race against time, the Architects’ Club must infiltrate top-security Chinese government sites to stop a global catastrophe. They use their suprahuman abilities to conduct audacious raids, aided by unimagined technologies in a quest that stretches from a chateau in France, across continental Europe to Beijing’s Forbidden City and beyond. The stakes are high, the price of failure too terrible to contemplate.

James Tavener, rogue former security advisor to Lady Margaret, emerges as a risk to the whole operation. He must be hunted and stopped.

But hunting a wolf is a dangerous game.
