Agent of Judgment Hardcover - 2000

From the publisher

In this hot new thriller of eco-terrorism and mass annihilation, Robert Rice creates an all-too-real scenario of ecological disaster and bio-enginered mass-murder.
Michael Walker, a former army sharpshooter, isn't looking for trouble. But when custom officals nab him for "alleged" cocaine smuggling, he is forced to work as an assassin for a mysterious government "Arm." He might be a good shot, but on his first assignment he realizes he just can't kill people, regardless of the consequences. So he drowns his guilt in a bottle and runs, ending up in rural Montana. In the country, things finally start to look up, especially when he meets a woman who sees through his alcoholic haze.
Then his sister Ursula calls. She's single, has just had a baby. . . and is sure two men are following her. Mike is concerned enough to fly to San Francisco to help her out. The next day, when he awakes to see her tiny baby being carried off by two burly men, he realizes that Ursula wasn't kidding when she told him religious fanatics of the Invincible Church Eternal were plotting to take her son. As one carefully orchestrated disaster after another plagues the planet, mimicking the signs of the apocalypse, Michael begins to wonder just how deep ICE's power and influence reaches, and how he can possibly rescue his tiny nephew.
Michael's life and those of millions of innocent sinners hang in the balance, as well as the life of the small child named Jesus II, as a bio-engineered day of reckoning looms.
