Set in the near future, Dr. Todd Ellison's
story continues as his newly-established Rescue Team International provides a
desperately needed emergency response team to aid
the world following a series of cataclysmic terrorist attacks.
Now, the latest threat is to the Pope himself. And Ellison and his cohorts
are on the move to prevent murder inside the walls of Vatican City...
Tom Stern, M.D. is an avid adventurer
who, during one of his 60+ trips abroad, discovered gold on a
remote island in the South China Sea. Enthusiastically, he
set-up and operated a gold mine until a rash of killings by terrorists linked to the
Abu Sayaff forced its closure. This, along with his five adventure-filled expeditions searching for the legendary Yamashita Gold, inspired his first novel, Gold Fever.
Based upon his knowledge of medicine, the Vatican, and international terrorism,
this gripping book of Stern's imagines a highly skilled team of courageous
specialists equipped to dramatically deal with the new realities of the threats faced by our post 9/11 world. (Again, eerily penned before 9/11 occurred.)
