It would seem that a spy's work is never done. At least, that has been the reality for the CIA's off-the-books team. The remaining four of the original six are led by Magus Crayle, whose once destroyed memories have been serially restored from ultra-secret archives by the Agency's Swiss-born psycho-researcher, Doctor Pirmin Rorschach. The team is in hiatus as Crayle morphs into the role of Director of Central Intelligence.

But some stress-abated personal time is in order. Peaceful time for Crayle and his beautiful, wife, Hekka, to get away and plot their course for a peaceful future with him at his Langley, Virginia seventh floor office job. She could raise their baby daughter, Kianna, while completing her research linking Western Hemisphere indigenous peoples with those of South Asia.

But, just as the world keeps on turning, the few Illuminé secret society megalomaniacs who remain are not about to surrender. The team destroyed the Chinese nuclear bomb factory, but previously purchased devices exist. Eager to be deployed.

New DCI Crayle is not able to predict the new locales in his near-term future, nor the world changing gravity of what will transpire. He can only hope to move adversarial forces beyond their natural, political narcissism. To end the strategic nuclear violence, so embedded in the recent years. To once and for all live long enough to achieve the ever elusive endgame of a precious and permanent peace.
