the radiance
Former Army Ranger Travis Walker discovers hope for his shattered life coming from an unexpected source. A force of mysterious origin, dubbed the Radiance, is causing worldwide intelligence, both human and animal, to advance at a horrifying rate. Worse, no one knows when the effect will stop … or if it can be stopped.

A crack team of scientists and military leaders--and headed by Travis’s wealthy industrialist brother Cale--is hastily assembled to combat the phenomenon. Against his better judgment Travis is drafted into this group to give his “everyman” take on things. There he finds himself running on an inside track, battling not only worldwide hopelessness, terrorism, and greed, but his own dark and cynical passions as well.

And it is here, in this strange new battlefield at the brink of Armageddon, the wounded warrior finds his hard-won skills being called upon, one last time.

When soldier-of-fortune and Iraqi War vet Cameron Bane is asked by Jacob Cohen to find his missing teenager daughter Sarah, Cameron agrees, thinking it will be a short weekend's work.

His search for the girl leads him to a sunny town with a dark secret that no one lives to tell. Before it's over he will find himself plunged into a horrifying world of human experimentation and illegal organ harvesting, at the core of which throbs a devastating nightmare of kidnapping, torture, madness, and death.

Cameron Bane has one chance of bringing Sarah home alive. But in doing so he may lose himself.

And the clock is ticking.
