When sudden tragedy strikes charismatic televangelist Angus Dunbar's inner circle, leaving more questions than answers, members of family on both coasts begin to realize that something is very wrong. As they seek answers to this puzzle, they enlist the aid of two other religious people. One is a devout, South American Catholic aristocrat, with high-level government connections. The other is a brooding Israeli military hero, who finds himself caught between Jewish religious observance and his attraction to Chrissie Anderssen, the beautiful Danish-born singer in Angus' ministry. Following leads to South America, the Dunbar family and their two allies, plus strong-willed Jewish reporter, Lara Ross, find themselves on a stage set for danger and intrigue. Will these diverse fellow travelers-these "Soldiers of Heaven" engaged in a common cause-manage to stay one step ahead of the very powerful and murderous "El Leon," the Lion of Ecuador, when he unleashes the full weight of his brutal resources upon them?
