A top-rated television journalist unearths a common thread among several “accidental” deaths of key international finance ministers. Just as he plans to expose Abaddon, the mysterious figurehead behind a wide-ranging conspiracy to plunge the world into a new Dark Age, the journalist dies.

Adam Dekker, Special Projects Director for the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), responds to a mysterious letter from the journalist, setting an intriguing puzzle he cannot pass up. So begins the story of a massive global search for the secret of Abaddon.

Dekker follows a complex trail of bodies and clues, using a mixture of cunning insight and Army Ranger skills in an effort to stop the impending global calamity the journalist predicted. Abaddon’s greed for ultimate worldwide power—amazingly planned centuries ago—coincides with the solstice, December 21, 2012, the day when the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world as we know it.

In tracking down Abaddon, Dekker is thrown into a world of mysticism and supernatural conflict as he follows the trail leading from New York to Scotland, Iceland, and finally Germany. The showdown comes in Abaddon’s secret lair deep in the Black Forest of Germany where time—and civilization--hang in the balance.
