Publisher's summary

There are incidents and emergencies in the world that defy logical explanation, events that could be defined as supernatural, extraterrestrial, or simply otherworldly. Standard laws do not allow for such instances, nor are most officials or authorities trained to handle them. In recognition of these facts, one organization has been created that can. Assembled by a loose international coalition, their mission is to deal with these situations using diplomacy, guile, force, and strategy as necessary. They shield the rest of the world from their own actions, and clean up the messes left in their wake. They are our protection, our guide, our sword, and our voice, all rolled into one.

They are O.C.L.T.

A vision from ancient Egypt and a call from an old acquaintance send Rebecca York, mystic, occult expert, and adventurer to Arizona, and then Jerusalem and the Dead Sea to prevent a horrifying attack from the annals of history.

Rebecca and computer expert Wendell "Mack" Macklemore team up with a renegade Vatican monk, a street urchin from Jerusalem, and an agent of the Mossad to prevent her, Amunet, an Egyptian sorceress, works ever closer to exacting an ancient revenge and unleashing a terrorist attack that could plunge the Middle East into an era of darkness.

This is the first full length novel of the O.C.L.T. - the Orphic Crisis Logistical Taskforce. The events of this novel predate the actual formation of the O.C.L.T., joining with the novellas "Brought to Light" by Aaron Rosenberg, and "The Temple of Camazotz," by David Niall Wilson. Each of these works introduces another facet of team, which will be formally introduced by Aaron Rosenberg's upcoming novel Incursion.

Action, Intrigue, and Depth

This title offers an appealing, steady narration with characterizations that match the book’s international settings. The story is full of action and intrigue, mixing the supernatural, historical, and modern-day global tensions in a unique way, with suspense and surprises. The narration is stilted at times, missing the pacing and emotion of the text when one should be propelled through the story. While this distracts from the overall experience, it is an entertaining listen and compelling story which suggests the O.C.L.T. team series is one to follow.

Good Listen

There were certainly no surprises in this story, however, I'm a fan of all things Egyptian, so it was easy for me to like this story.
