XILLOS (ZEE-los) is a story of intrigue woven around a quintet of major characters whose lives intertwine through stages of survival, ambition, love, violence, and revenge. The beginning finds us twenty years in the future where World Government sans frontiers has been established. XILLOS is now the enforcer of peace on planet Earth, ushering in a new order of law and justice. All is well until one of the Committee of Nine, the highest office that rules, cunningly perpetrates an act of duplicity and subterfuge.
Two brilliant doctors and a Supreme Court justice collaborate to change the world. A death camp survivor stumbles on a new, and most important invention of the millennium. The rapacious CEO of one of the world's largest companies embarks on a quest that unravels in a way he never could have anticipated. His most trusted employee carries out his directives with an alarming ruthlessness and brutality. A teenage boy finds himself an innocent fugitive and is stymied in his efforts to extricate himself as the target of both an assassin and the police, eventually becoming an unwitting hero. The closing pages stun and surprise even the cleverest of mystery buffs.
