The Knights of Peace must defeat those inflicting violence on a peaceful society, but their code forbids them to cause personal injury. Their mission is to intercept and destroy all forms of weaponry, explosives, and ammunition worldwide.
As Roscoe Finley joins the Knights and embarks on his first mission he sees how belligerent groups are disabled by destroying their ordnance and arresting the 'dominophiles' who lead them. 'Sociodynamics', GM bees, spyflies, countenance cognition, martial arts and holographic figures are used in defeating the enemy without inflicting injury. However, Roscoe learns from Father James that spiritual enlightenment is the only way to lasting peace.
At the same time, Roscoe is confronted with a very different kind of conflict, as fellow novice Eric Reed competes for the attention of Isla, an expert in the breaking of quantum codes. The love triangle is broken as a fourth person appears...
Meanwhile, the Servants of the Seven Seals, a religious cult, threatens to bring about its own heretical version of the End Times, and the Knights can't stop it without help from an unlikely agent.
This is a gripping tale of adventure and romance in a futuristic setting interwoven with spiritual reflection.
