‘Do you vow to pursue the cause upon which
this fraternity was founded?’

Synopsis:

Two seemingly unconnected events occur within 24 hours:

The president of Mason-Wainwright, a New York investment
corporation, is on a private jet heading for Washington DC
carrying the burden of a secret that will undoubtedly destroy
the firm he heads up. Without warning, a series of explosions
rip through the plane, resulting in fatality for all on board.

A senator on a pro-euthanasia crusade is abducted on his way to
Capitol Hill where he is due to deliver a crucial yet controversial
speech to the senate.

In this, the sequel to Ascension, Mike Fabien finds himself drawn
into a terrifying race against time to uncover the existence of a
sinister organisation bent on pushing euthanasia to the top of the
political agenda, with the knowledge that someone up high wants
him out of the picture…
