The Richest That There Can Be: Novel 4 of 12 in the 3rd Book of Benjamin - Paperback

by B. Albertill (Author)

Blessed with the richest treasury in the world, French Queen Anne of Brittany can buy everything-except loyalty. Filled with mistrust and intrigue, royal courts across fifteenth-century Europe are not safe havens. In times of shifting loyalties and allegiances, the only choice Queen Anne has left is to trust strangers-even if one is a foreign mercenary knight and the others are past and she isn't the first historical person with whom they have been in contact.

Mickey and his team have their own share of twenty-first century concerns: an amnesiac pregnant woman linked with the past, mysterious murders, stolen relics, secret documents, and terrorist attacks on American military personnel in Europe. Somehow, all of it is deeply interconnected-but how and why?

About the Series:

Haman the Amalekite must strike terror at Castle Péronne to steal a key component of the Relic of Power (RoP), the world's most powerful weapon of mass destruction (WMD), which has existed since biblical times. Tracked by Loni Peronne, a Defense Intelligence Agent, the mission known as the Missing Art Project has been functioning as a venue to find all the components of the RoP. Initially waylaid by a murder at the Leaning Tower of Niles in America, Loni becomes mired within the Leaning Tower affair throughout Novel 1. As Novel 2 opened, Haman's terrorist strike takes the RoP component from Castle Péronne and, as collateral damage, Loni's consciousness from a head injury. Upon finally awakening in a French maternity hospital, Loni is found to be amnesic.

Responding to this dilemma, Mickey Peronne initially requests support from his trusted medical colleagues. Through hypnosis, it is revealed that Loni's psyche has bizarrely bridged time, residing now in the persona of a fourteenth-century French king. Through subsequent psychic encounters, Loni's time bridge approaches the present day, accessing historical characters such as Jehanne d'Arc (Novel 2), Duchess Anne- Geneviève de Bourbon (Novel 7), and Nobel Laureate Dr. Jean Perrin (Novel 11), among many others. Each stand-alone novel engages a new historic character, moving the evolving mission of the modern-day protagonists from the French maternity hospital toward a brutal showdown in Jerusalem. There a face-off occurs involving those WMD components which were crafted in 1400 BC.
