The strongest of the twins, Micael, has shown potential to become the world's greatest warrior. He has been trained and trained well. However, despite the training, Micael may not have the strength to stand against the forces of darkness that have conspired against Kadema. After the mastermind of the Exiles unleashes a strategy that cripples the Guardian Knights, Marcus and Micael are forced to decide on a plan of desperation; seek out a traitorous army once loyal to Luxius, the deceased Master of the Exiles. If Micael fails in his quest to ally himself with the Banished Army, then his life and those of his companions will be forfeit. However, if Micael is successful, then the world will see the might of an army not seen in nearly one hundred years.

The Exiles have constructed a new weapon, which is capable of destroying hundreds of thousands of lives in an instant. Even more terrifying is the mastermind's ultimate goal.

In April of 1968 Steve McQueen arrives in San Francisco to film Bullitt. Rough-and-tumble SFPD Inspector Johnny O’Rorke, aka The Fixer, is the department’s Executive Protection Officer. His job is to make sure that visiting celebrities are well taken care of. O’Rorke is instructed to take special care of McQueen; the city’s movers and shakers are hoping to develop San Francisco into Hollywood North. McQueen takes a liking to O’Rorke, and when Russ Cortig, a member of his film crew, is busted at a wild Haight Ashbury party, he asks O’Rorke to try to have the charge dismissed. Fixing Cortig’s arrest sheet is a minor problem, but it leads O’Rorke into a tangled web of intrigue and corruption that includes the murder of one of his longtime informers, a crossdresser who goes by the name of Vanessa the Undresser, tangling with a Chinatown drug lord, being shot at by a sadistic Soviet hit man, going up against a wealthy former Russian Mafia leader now living in San Francisco, dealing with a vicious local gangster, Alec Zek, aka The Swine, and a chasing after a priceless blue diamond known as the Stalin Blue. If that isn’t complicated enough, O’Rorke breaks into a real sweat when McQueen asks him to make a screen test for a part in Bullitt. Praise for SCREEN TEST: “Steve McQueen. Bullitt. Transvestites. Murder. And the City by the Bay. Who could ask for more? Gear up for a rockin’ roller coaster ride up and down San Francisco’s tumultuous hills in Jerry Kennealy’s entertaining, triple-fast thriller Screen Test, but make sure to wear your seatbelt.” —Paul D. Marks, Shamus Award-winning author of White Heat Praise for the books of Jerry Kennealy: “Kennealy always delivers hard-boiled excitement nicely with humor and style.” —Booklist “Kennealy’s characters, combined with his seasoned ability to weave several plot elements into a smooth whole, make his books stand out in the crowded thriller genre.” —Publisher’s Weekly “Kennealy’s nicely crafted stories always hold my interest. Never a wasted word.” —San Francisco Chronicle
