Retired Navy Seal, former mercenary, and down-on-his-luck private eye, Nick Armbruster was wondering where his next meal would come from, when suddenly his luck took a turn for the better-or did it? When beautiful heiress, Lucretia Feinstein, blew into his office like a gale force wind, gun in hand, demanding his help to find her missing father, archaeologist Ira Feinstein, little did Nick know he was about to become embroiled in matters of world shattering consequence. Ira Feinstein had discovered ancient texts, lost books of Isaiah the Prophet, which told of artifacts of power-artifacts which would give anyone who held them the power to create heaven on earth... or to destroy the world. But, Ira had been kidnapped by people who wanted the artifacts for nefarious purposes, and Nick was going to have to go through ritual initiations, into caves and dungeons, and maybe even destroy the world to save humanity from a fate worse than death. But, first, he had to save himself. And that might prove to be the most challenging job of all.
