Beowulf Pels recently completed the action-suspense thriller, EDGE OF GOD. The first in a series of novels, EDGE OF GOD describes new methods of conducting counter-terrorist operations against radical Islamic terrorists so unique that while some consider them essential, others will see them as controversial, even in the continuing war against terror. Pels deftly embeds research about religion, Middle East politics, Biblical history, and technologies to create novels so realistic they could be mistaken for today's news.

Edge Of God ISBN: 0595354661 · 2005 iUniverse In the action-suspense thriller, EDGE OF GOD, Christian, Israeli, and Muslim extremists combine vengeance with religion in a fast-paced lethal contest of power, wealth, and faith. Martin Dallas finds his unique counter-terrorist mission taking him, unknowingly at first, more closely towards a murderous hell that he would desperately wish he had long since renounced. As he sinks deeper into his nuclear-armed mission he drives himself steadily towards his perdition, unable to do anything but continue. Part of his doggedness comes from duty and mission, part comes from his repressed desire for vengeance and part comes from the men who urge him on for "God and Country". He must find where the line between mission and the loss of his humanity lies before he passes beyond the threshold from which there would be no return.
