Kendig Ratchets Up the Action in Her New Suspense
Series!
Four years after a tragic mission decimated his career and his
team, Cole "Tox" Russell is persona non grata to the United
States. And that's fine--he just wants to be left alone. But when a
dormant, centuries-old disease is unleashed, Tox is lured back into
action.
Partnered with FBI agent Kasey Cortes, Tox has to pull together a
team to begin a globe-spanning search for answers--and a cure. As
their quest leads them from continent to continent, it slowly
becomes clear they're not just fighting a plague--but battling
against an ancient secret society whose true goals remain
hidden.
With time running out and opposition growing on every side, the key
to everything may rest in an antique codex, the Crown of
Jerusalem--but will Tox and his team be able to trust each other
enough to break this century-spanning conspiracy of silence?
This Is the Way the World Ends.

through centuries of silence to find the only answer that can save
them all.
"This fast-moving, roller-coaster thriller, with its powerful
clandestine society, ancient secret, nefarious conspiracies, search
spanning the globe, and under-pressure romance is sure to please
fans of romantic suspense and military ops romances."--Booklist
"Kendig's first book in her Tox Files takes readers on an
explosive, action-packed global journey to stop a terrorist from
releasing a deadly toxin with biblical origins. Kendig has pulled
out all the stops in this highly entertaining read that has plot
elements of a Tom Clancy or Dan Brown novel. This is a thrill ride
with a story that barely stops to catch its breath before the
action revs back up again. The hero, Tox, is riveting, the heroine
is strong, the secondary cast is well developed and the romance is
light but sweet. Kendig has out done herself."--RT
