The Jewel of Babylon (The Unusual Operations Division Book 1)

When a Special Forces agent working for the United States government goes on a killing spree, the Department of Defense gets involved. When that very same agent seems to be under the influence of a special object hell-bent on destroying the world, the Department of Defense involves the Unusual Operations Division. Marcus Claudius Constantine and his highly trained band of operatives are up to face any challenge they may come up against. Utilizing unique perspective gleaned from years of experience, the UOD answers the call that even the United States Government wants to deny. Despite their vast experience, specialized skills, and the world's most cutting edge technology, even they can be taken by surprise. In their most challenging case ever, the UOD is called upon to find and stop a murderous madman. To capture John Flipske, the elusive victim of an unknown ailment, the team finds themselves struggling to survive a series of dangerous circumstances. Besides seeing death around every turn, dodging bullets and madmen, and watching the end of the world unfold before them; it's just another day at the office. The only question that remains for the team is whether or not their sacrifices are worth it.
