In Saudi Arabia, a female archaeologist finds an artifact that threatens the historical foundation of Islam. To some Muslims, it is a discovery that must be silenced at all costs. . . .

Meanwhile, in a secret bunker run by U.S. intelligence, a Special Forces officer is brutally executed while interrogating one of the world’s most dangerous terrorists. Jonathon Payne and D.J. Jones offer to spearhead the investigation and quickly realize that there is more to this atrocity than terrorist reprisal—there is a plot in motion that will burn the world in the fires of a holy war.

“A non-stop locomotive of a thriller. Combines labyrinthine plot twists, global terrorism, and the darkest depths of psychological warfare in a thriller that had me burning the midnight oil 'til breakfast… Kuzneski is a master in the making.” -- Vince Flynn, New York Times best-selling author of Consent to Kill



“SWORD OF GOD is as convincing as it is terrifying. Riveting and relentlessly paced, here is novel that will be consumed in one sitting.  Chris Kuzneski proves again that he is thriller writer for the new millennium.” -- James Rollins, New York Times best-selling author of The Judas Strai



“Reading SWORD OF GOD is like jumping on a runaway freight train hurtling toward disaster, with the fate of the world in the balance... A fabulous premise, great characters, rich settings, and mach-5 pacing. Explosive!” -- Douglas Preston, New York Times best-selling author of The Codex
