The Lost Rhoades Artifact (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736090237)

In a devastating terrorist strike at Temple Square in Salt Lake City, four proletariat casualties become the catalyst for a political uprising against Chris Thomas and the Max AI.

Unbeknownst to Chris and the proletariats, the terrorists' true mission is to seize an ancient weapon, the Lost Rhoades Artifact, hidden beneath the temple. This age-old weapon of mass destruction promises death on a biblical scale.

Called upon by Latter-day Saint President Matson Tolman, Chris and Orion's Spear are humanity's last hope, tasked to secure the artifact before it's used to incite worldwide devastation.

Still reeling from the events of Vanguard, Chris must reconcile his government obligations and the critical mission handed to him personally by a prophet of God.

Facing battles on two fronts-against the fanatical terrorist Guthrie family and the Order of Baphomet-Chris gathers his Orion's Spear team and an array of brave allies to retrieve the Lost Rhoades Artifact and quell growing terror threats.

As US President Mills plots against Chris and as civil war stirs in America, the Guthries wield the artifact, raining death upon millions. But when the Guthries believe they've defeated Chris and Orion's Spear, the Order of Baphomet resurfaces, vying for global domination.

Against all odds, Chris and his team must pursue multiple villains in a global hunt while working to keep America from falling into civil war. The world's fate hangs in the balance, dependent on Chris's last-ditch plan. Can he thwart the enemy's deadly plot and save the world, or is all lost forever?
