Rise: Luthecker, #2

Since his stand off with Coalition Properties one year ago, Alex Luthecker has suffered from severe, incapacitating migraines. When western medicine will not help, Alex and Nicole travel halfway across the globe to seek out the one man alleged to have the same predictive abilities as Alex—a monk by the name of Kunchin who resides in a cave beneath the famed Potala Palace Monastery in Tibet.When Alex finds the elusive Kunchin, the Monk turns the tables on Alex, and tells him why he suffers: "The one you love the most will die, and this time, there will be nothing you can do to stop it."RISE, the sequel to the critically acclaimed novel LUTHECKER, is a fast paced thriller that explores the nature of change and the conflict that arises between the forces that fight it, and the one man who can enable that forgotten freedom in all who cross his path.
