A sleeping army stirs. A battle for power begins. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance. In 1908 Siberia, a soldier named Viktor awakens inside a silver, egg-like pod. A warrior of the long-lost Eighth Cycle civilization, he has been asleep for millennia—his commander dead, his world unrecognizable. Something has triggered his reawakening. But was it a natural catastrophe, an advanced human civilization, or something far more dangerous? A century later, the Rossler Foundation, led by Daniel Rossler, stands as humanity’s last safeguard against the misuse of ancient knowledge. But their mission is under siege. As Viktor and his reanimated army, the Re’an, rise to reclaim power using the advanced technology of their era, global tensions spiral out of control. General Hayden, seizing the moment, brands the Rosslers as the enemy and pushes the world to the brink of war.

Rex Dalton and his best friend Digger, the former military dog, are back in Rome. They are at the famous Piazza del Popolo. Seven weeks ago, Rex had to abandon his plans to contact Catia Romano, the woman he’s in love with, to help rescue his former CEO, John Brandt. Now he was back. Catia’s apartment was less than a mile away. But Rex’s reverie is interrupted when he notices two women coming through the Porta del Popolo in a hurry. One of them looks familiar. As he keeps watching them, he realizes they are fleeing. Then Rex sees the men — three of them. One behind the women, the other two trying to outflank them, probably to head them off and prevent them from reaching the other side of the piazza. Instinctively, Rex puts his hand out to Digger and pulls him close. “Listen buddy, we’ve got a situation here.

A world under surveillance. A population under control. A conspiracy too big to stop? When a ruthless organisation called the Supreme Council seizes control of the world, they implement a chipping program designed to monitor and manipulate the population.

On that bloody winter’s day of January 1, 2010, on the outskirts of Wana, in South Waziristan, two MQ-9 Reaper drones firing two five-hundred-pound GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bombs into a family home had recruited the latest jihadist. On that day, he was born into terrorism—a supporter of violent jihad, an avowed destroyer of America and its NATO allies. Those who saw him and heard him as he turned and stumbled away, described the ghastly sound that escaped his lips as a scream of grief, but it was not—it was the primal scream of birth. Days later, climbing higher into the bleakest part of the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan, every hour, what kept him going when he was hardly conscious from fatigue was one refrain—the words of his father; “the steps of the stairway to heaven you have to build yourself.” But over the days of his grueling journey, those words had come to mean something different to him. He no longer believed in heaven or hell or Allah, anymore. On January 1, 2010, when those bombs exploded and killed his family, Allah were killed with them. From that moment on, there would only be the stairway to revenge, and he would build the steps to it himself.
