Countdown to Armageddon-The Book of Daniel

The war for humanity's soul has already begun. Most of the world just doesn't know it yet.In December 2057, First Lieutenant Daniel Penn and his Green Berets encounter something impossible during a firefight in Argentina. It kills one of his men, survives their weapons, and disappears before anyone can explain what they saw.Six months later, Penn learns the truth.The government has known about threats like this for centuries.Recruited into the Paranormal Investigation and Research Defense Division, Penn is handed a new mission: a collection of specialists who barely qualify as a team, advanced weapons that sometimes work as advertised, and two genetically engineered Chimera soldiers who may represent humanity's next generation of warriors.Then the mission takes them south.What begins as an investigation becomes a running battle against vampires, covert military forces, buried experiments, and an enemy tied to a secret from PIRDD's own past. The deeper Penn goes, the harder it becomes to separate science from the supernatural, coincidence from design, and survival from something much larger approaching on the horizon.Penn has spent his life trusting training, weapons, and the soldiers beside him.Those may no longer be enough.Countdown to Armageddon: Book I - The Book of Daniel is a near-future military science-fiction and supernatural thriller blending Special Forces action, advanced technology, engineered soldiers, dark humor, biblical mystery, and the opening moves of a war for humanity itself.Approximately 123,000 words.
