The three-book 68 VIA CONDOTTI series featuring Kate Keenan on special assignment with a cameo appearance by Koski and Falk simply had to be written. Years ago, when I visited and toured the Vatican, I was impressed by a nondescript entrance not far from the Spanish Steps marked simply "68 Via Condotti." Ostensibly, the extraterritorial headquarters of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, I became intrigued by rumors that the Order, with it's extensive diplomatic connections, might be hosting the Santa Alleanza, the Vatican's secret spy organization, said to be one of the finest in the world. The Santa Alleanze are even said to have a training academy called Pontificia Accademia Ecclesiastica, not unlike the United States' CIA "farm." Coupled with my growing interest in artificial intelligence that always seemed to surround Kate Keenan [see FINDING KATE (Savant 2016) and QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016)], Kate was the natural protagonist. Add the Vatican's historical interest in preserving the soul and the question of whether artificial, even alien intelligence presumes a soul, and finally the Santa Alleanza, the Order of Malta and the Black Pope of the Jusuits, and the result is 68 VIA CONDOTTI: BOOK ONE - ETERNITY LTD. 


I hope you will enjoy this first in this three-book series, the third in my Kate Keenan Special Assignment series and the eighth in my Koski and Falk series as much as I am enjoying writing it.
