โฆ Synopsis
Thirty years ago the world was in the exploratory stages of creating a technology capable of artificial intelligence. Thirty years later that technology has been perfected. In a lab somewhere in a remote mountain region in Iran, nanoparticles, or micro-bots, have been created to be self-sustaining and self-reproducing, each day evolving and learning from experience. They have been programmed to be the ultimate predator, devouring everything in their path and leaving nothing behind. Now in the hands of a terrorist group, the Vatican has come within the crosshairs. Using the Ark of the Covenant as a Trojan Horse, Kimball Hayden and his team of Vatican Knights must stop the promise of complete destruction of Rome by combating something unseen, and something that can kill within seconds. "From cage-fighting in Las Vegas to papal intrigue in Vatican City, to deadly nanotech research in the mountains of Iran, Rick Jones pulls the strands of global conspiracy into a tightening web and a clock-ticking finish that snares the reader and doesn't let go. Get up to speed with the Vatican Knights series now, so you can be the one to tell your friends how good these books are, rather than having to hear it from them." --K.W. Jeter, author of the Kim Oh Thrillers "Rick Jones spins a web of action and thrills that's sure to ensnare even the most discerning reader. Echoes of Michael Crichton and James Rollins make Pandora's Ark a story you won't want to miss!" --David Wood, author of the Dane Maddock Adventures **
