Rick Jones, 2024

Fifteen hundred years ago, a fisherman off the coast of Greece, while diving, discovers a subterranean channel that leads to an underground lair where he finds a relic as old as the universe. Two days later, his body washes up on shore covered with burns and blisters. Centuries later, during an excavation of an old Greek fishing village, a map with ancient writings recounts a legendary Greek tale of Aphrodite's Heart, a relic once belonging to the goddess imprisoned by Hades, the god of the Underworld. When it was discovered that the object contained properties that defied the logical laws of physics, the relic became the primary objective of interest between the United States and China. Fueled by the potential to change the balance of world power, China launched a special forces team to recover the relic. The American government, in response, called upon the Genteel Man and his special team of operatives, the Sons of Perdition. Their mission: Retrieve Aphrodite's Heart. After previous failed missions when US special forces entered the chamber and were never seen again, the Sons of Perdition know they have the odds stacked against them. As they enter the chamber housing Aphrodite's Heart, can the Sons of Perdition hold back the Chinese faction of elite fighters? Will the power of Aphrodite's Heart destroy them as it did with those who came before them? And what exactly is Aphrodite's Heart and what power does it yield? In the third installment of the Genteel Man series, the Sons of Perdition not only find themselves up against a formidable foe but must also encounter and contain an indescribable power that can destroy planets. Will the Sons of Perdition succeed? Or will they fail like previous special forces units who believed they could control the artifact? By the author of the bestselling Vatican Knights series.
