The Hidden Persuaders. Dan Kotler, #9

Fourteen members of Congress are abducted directly from the Senate floor on live television. Book Nine of the Dan Kotler archaeological thrillers For nearly two thousand years, the secretive Jani have lived hidden among humanity, quietly gathering powerful historical artifacts, infiltrating governments, and shaping world events from the shadows. Now, a dangerous new faction known as the Novensiles has risen within the Order.
Armed with the Jani's vast influence and accumulated power, the Novensiles are determined to accelerate their plans and forge a true New World Order under their control. Called in to investigate, Dr. Dan Kotler-archaeologist and FBI consultant-and his partner, Agent Roland Denzel, race against time to locate the missing senators and unravel the hidden agenda of this ancient Order. As they dig deeper into the Jani's centuries-long manipulation of history, Kotler and Denzel discover that influence is the ultimate currency of the Novensiles-and this time, the price they may have to pay could be devastatingly personal. "J.
