Behind the takeover is an odd, yet frighteningly effective, alliance of international governments and inner-city gangs. Lining up against the tyrannical forces are three men, each committed to exposing the fifty-year-old conspiracy, and together capable of mounting an undeniably formidable resistance. If they succeed, the world has a chance. If they fail, the world is doomed to the prospect of a "Fourth Reich." The key to the world's future is The Thor Conspiracy. Previously published by Nelson Books, The Thor Conspiracy has sold 50,000 copies.

With the worldwide launch of a financial system known as Data-Net, they suddenly have the power to single out groups of people and control their money, fuel, and food supply.

The Illuminatiis a futuristic thriller tied to ancient mysticism that will appeal to fans of The DaVinci Code and the Left Behind series.
