In 1941 the precursor to the OSS and the CIA combined with British
SAS to produce an elite fighting force whose mission it was to
carry out subversive activities against the fascist regimes of
Europe, actions that continue to resonate in the world today. These
activities play a very important role in Piercing the Veil.
A warrior with the intellectual agility of a Delphic oracle,
Lieutenant Commander Grant Chisolm leads his exceptionally
highly-trained, well-equipped team of SEALs into the heart of
darkness. His highly secretive mission is to rescue hostages taken
by the charismatic and cunning leader of a major insurgency in
sub-Saharan Africa. He is forced to confront the irrationality of
malevolent genius, bureaucratic quackery posing as government, and
the link between a man's past indiscretions and present death and
destruction.
As he becomes more deeply involved in this extremely dangerous
mission, he discovers that his own life is a mirror of ancestral
ambitions that reveal themselves through an unexpected discovery
for which nothing could have fully prepared him. The historical
implications of his discoveries are truly breathtaking. His warrior
quest is the stuff of legend and the crucible is bequeathed by
mythical figures only to those who are worthy. Chisolm learns
firsthand that not only the sins, but also the blessings, of his
family must be borne to discover the true purpose of his life.
