Dark Zeal

In Dark Zeal, Book Five in The COIL Series, D.I. Telbat takes us into the heart and heat of Gaza, Israel. Agent Corban Dowler infiltrates Gaza City for a routine medical op, but soon discovers an international plot by Hamas terrorists to destroy Israel, forcing him to respond as a soldier of Christ.

Wounded and captured, Corban gathers his wits to attempt winning over greedy arms dealer Titus Caspertein in order to save Israel from destruction. Corban's mission is further complicated when UN humanitarian American Annette Sheffield is kidnapped and within reach, and he chooses to defy government orders to stage a rescue.

Meanwhile, Luigi Putelli, ex-assassin and family guardian, searches for his friend in war-torn Gaza City to offer his services once again. With Hamas militants closing in, and the Israeli Air Force targeting extremists, Corban calls in other operatives to help complete his mission, and prays they aren't all mistaken for terrorists.

Bullets and missiles are flying in Dark Zeal. Experience tunnels, drones, and the horrors of the Gaza war zone. But where darkness seems to thrive, God has placed His eternal light in the heart of faithful servant and bold spokesman, Corban Dowler. Join us for this continued Christian suspense saga, and be reminded . . . there is no redemption without sacrifice.

Dark Zeal includes three illustrations, and endnotes about Christian Aid Mission, a ministry that assists persecuted Christians. Cover design is by Streetlight Graphics. Distant Contact, Book One of The COIL Legacy, follows Dark Zeal. The COIL Series is a recipient of the Redemptive Fiction Award of Excellence.
