Nineteenth Century British archaeologist Sir Austin Henry Layard discovers twenty-five thousand clay tablets buried deep in an ancient Sumerian Library. After years of tedious study of the tablets, Sir Henry begins to pen a journal, evidencing Man’s birthplace and manipulation by a ruling class of Blue Bloods. Today in the midst of a deadly H1N2 outbreak, twelve elite Financiers hold a Summit in Western Europe, headed by the Marquis de Illuminati. Their secret agenda for a microchipped population takes shape until the World Bank refuses to back the loans needed for the human implantation process. When Doc Mitchell, Senior Intelligence Officer with the National Security Agency, learns of the Illuminati’s agenda, he assigns Guy Fox, a mind controlled assassin, to eliminate key players at the Summit. Doc knows this mission will implicate the President of the United States (his close friend and Masonic Brother) in a vast criminal conspiracy involving top politicians and investors. At the same time, Guy Fox fights for freewill, the truth about his past and his own life when he becomes the target of the Illuminati’s madness. His world unfolds into the vast global conspiracy reaching back to ancient Sumeria. Meanwhile, millions are dying daily from the flu outbreak and something must be done.
