Bavaria, 1785.
Sebastian Pierre Drechsler longs to return to the ordinary life of a university student. But ordinary life is never an option for an Illuminati hunter.
A chance encounter with the cruel and mysterious merchant Franz Kolmer places Sebastian and his mentor, Professor Van Halestrom, on the trail of a terrifying conspiracy. Kolmer—an expert in ancient artifacts and reputed teacher of Illuminati founder Adam Weishaupt—is searching for an obelisk believed to possess extraordinary power. Behind that search lies an even greater scheme involving occult ritual, a legendary stone and a plan to transform the world through the control of money.
What begins in the rain-soaked streets of Ingolstadt soon becomes a relentless pursuit filled with assassins, betrayals, secret meetings and deadly confrontations. To stop Kolmer, Sebastian must cross a Europe shadowed by revolution, survive enemies determined to silence him and confront mysteries that challenge everything he believes about life, death and the universe itself.
Presented as the rediscovered memoir of an eighteenth-century adventurer, Illuminati Hunter II: Merchant Kolmer & the Obelisk of Nempty blends historical detail, occult mystery, fast-paced action and distinctly irreverent humor.
The Illuminati may have been outlawed—but their ambitions are far from dead.
