Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Jonah Barlow is dead. The respected Jesuit scholar of apocalyptic studies might have died from a fall in his apartment . . . or was he pushed? All that is known for sure is that the provocative manuscript he was working on-a book that promised to reveal the upcoming fulfillment of ancient and recent prophecies, including the ghastly and shocking Third Secret of Fatima-is missing. Two female detectives-one from Chicago, the other from Rome-take on the investigation as a possible homicide, turning to Vatican archivist Father Michael Dominic for his help, since Barlow sent the young priest the only other copy of the manuscript. Newly elected Pope Ignatius, Enrico Petrini, intent on verifying the content of the manuscript against the original handwritten version of the Third Secret-which has been kept sequestered in the Pope's personal vault for decades-discovers that the keys have been stolen. The search is on for the only other set, kept safely in the hands of a trusted monk in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, a sinister ancient order known as the Knights of the Apocalypse seem to be using the predictions of the manuscript to create fear and chaos as the prophecies appear to be coming fulfilled. Is the end of the world imminent? From Chicago to Jerusalem to Scotland, from Rome to the ancient island nation of Malta, join Father Dominic, journalist Hana Sinclair, their trusted team of Swiss Guards, a French commando, and the two detectives as they solve the bewildering puzzles of the Petrus Prophecy.

Book excerpt: THE GREAT BETRAYER...IN HIS OWN WORDS.First in the pulse-pounding, action-packed "Judas Chronicles" series by bestselling author Aiden James.William Barrow carries a dark secret. A very dark secret.An archivist for the Smithsonian Institute and also a part-time operative for the CIA, no one would ever suspect the handsome 'thirty-ish' William is in fact the most reviled human being to ever walk the earth. His infectious warmth and sense of humor make such an assertion especially hard to believe.But long ago, William Barrow had another name...one that is synonymous with shame and betrayal: Judas Iscariot.Forced to walk the earth as a cursed immortal, William/Judas is on a quest to reclaim the thirty silver shekels paid to him in exchange for Jesus Christ. Twenty-one coins have now been recovered-thanks in large part to the help from his latest son, the esteemed Georgetown University history professor, Alistair Barrow. Ever hopeful the complete coin collection will buy him a full pardon from God and end his banishment from heaven, William plans a visit to a remote village deep within Iran's Alborz Mountains to retrieve 'silver coin number twenty-two'. But the CIA has a different objective for this trip, one that pits both father and son against an unscrupulous Russian billionaire searching for something else that's just as precious within the ancient mountains of Iran... something that threatens peace in the modern world if William and Alistair fail to reach it first.This compelling, exciting, and at times heart-breaking supernatural adventure with nearly 500 combined 5-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads by bestselling author Aiden James, begins the epic "Judas Chronicles" saga, a series that's been downloaded over 400,000 times!Immortal Plague is the first of eight Judas Chronicles supernatural adventures with more to come in 2019 and beyond. If you enjoy fast-paced supernatural stores that are big on action and heart, then The Judas Chronicles are for you!Wow! It's an Emotional Roller Coaster Ride! Great Book, Exciting Adventure!I started reading this story with no intention of liking Judas, the man that is believed to have betrayed Jesus, and I wanted insight into what could have caused him to do such a dreadful thing. I found myself rooting for him to find the missing "blood money--coins," to redeem his life and pay his penance for his sins.... A great story, full of great characters, humor, love, friendship, and it was well worth the time it took to read it. I look forward to the other books in this series. 5-star Amazon reviewMakes you think!This author is amazing! Who would have thought of Judas as a fantasy character? I hesitated as I am Christian and couldn't believe this could be good. Aiden James is NOT disrespectful to biblical truth, he just sees it in a whole different point of view. I loved these books, not finished with them all yet, but will buy them all. Don't hesitate because you are Christian; if you love fantasy, this will really intrigue you. Judas Iscariot, love him or hate him....After several thousand years on earth, anyone would be a little warped, right?Doomed to immortality because of his betrayal of Christ, Judas Iscariot (now called William Barrow) must collect the thirty pieces of silver he was given by the Romans. But each coin has caused mayhem throughout the centuries, and the worse the history of the coin, the harder it's retrieval.Immortal Plague is the beginning of this amazing series. It's hard to put one down without immediately purchasing the next one. Each is written as a journal of sorts, I like the style. These books will take you all over the world and each story grips as much as the previous.
