Jonathan Hunt has forty-eight hours to rob the Vatican, stop a biological apocalypse, and make it to the altar on time—assuming the super-soldiers don't kill him first.Jonathan Hunt thought the hardest part of his week in Rome would be choosing a font for the wedding invitations. He was wrong.
In the Eternal City to marry the love of his life, the former CIA operative is dragged back into the shadows by an old ally with a desperate plea. A ghost from the past, Abraham Pale, has resurfaced. Known in the underworld as "The Plague," Pale isn't just selling weapons anymore; he’s creating them. He is engineering a new breed of soldier—men chemically stripped of pain, fear, and mercy, designed to be unstoppable killing machines.
And the key to stopping this nightmare is locked in a vault deep beneath the Vatican.
Trapped between a double-crossing handler, a bayou-born sniper with a .50 caliber solution for everything, and a fiancée who thinks he’s out tasting cake, Jonathan has to pull off the heist of the century. To save the city, he must breach the Holy See’s most secure bank vault during the acoustic cover of a concerto—which happens to be his own wedding rehearsal.
With the clock ticking down to his vows, Jonathan must trade his tuxedo for tactical gear to stop a monster from turning Rome into a graveyard.
Having worked on projects with New York Times Bestsellers and USA Today bestsellers, Georgia Wagner recently hit #1 bestseller with her newest series. Location and character are two big factors for Georgia, and getting those right allows the story to flow seamlessly onto the page. And flow it does, because Georgia is so prolific a new term is required to describe the rate at which nerve-tingling stories find their way into print.
When not found attached to a laptop, Georgia likes spending time in local arboretums, among the trees and ponds. An avid cultivator of orchids, begonias, and all things floral, Georgia also has a strong penchant for art, paintings, and sculptures. A many-decades-long passion for mystery novels and years of chess tournament experience makes Georgia the perfect person to pen the Artemis Blythe series. That's where it all started, but the drive to craft thrilling mystery tales soon demanded new characters in new locations.
Yes, most importantly I like the story’s, character development, and the fact that it’s reads fast. Something going on, on what seems like every page.
But I will remind all that someone needs to do a better job of editing. Revolvers do not eject shell casings. They may be left behind during reloading. Just reference reality. Hunt is apparently bleeding out at one point and can barely stand. But after a taxi ride he’s almost fully recovered from the blood loss and was even apparently stitched up. No reference to this miracle.

I'm amazed that these authors can write so many fantastic novels, I hope that they never stops writing. Their books are some of the best Entertainment I have read and worth the time to read them. Thank you for a very fun entertaining read.
Exhilarating, fast paced, wild ride. I am shocked this isn't a movie yet. Not your normal action novel. A cast of characters so real, you feel they are old friends
A riveting story taking you to Rome, the Vatican, & disaster if the people are not stopped before thousands die. A strange super strength army is only the beginning.
