Starting in ninth century Ireland and spanning into present day America, Afghanistan and Africa, Assault on an Abbey spins current events into a riveting yarn full of drama, emotion, and humanity, with touches of humor along the way. You'll meet Satan and his demons. Five warriors from the time of Julius Caesar. A trio of gallant guardians. The President of the United States. An order of worldly friars. Two African leaders-one selfless, the other a tyrant. And caught in the middle of it all: one shy young woman with the power to heal. Fans of Neil Gaiman's American Gods will love following Thomas O.P. Sweeney's tale of mystical power, temptation, unbridled ambition and duty to its stunning conclusion.
