Overview

For the Kingstons, there is no refuge from the past-no line between family and betrayal, no border between legacy and blood. PART SIX: NEW YEAR'S DAY The year turns. The past refuses to stay buried. The secrets of KALEIDOSCOPE, the CIA's hidden operation designed to create a false but lasting peace through energy control and the financial leverage of Covenant 17, spiral toward exposure. And the ghosts of history-the ones we inherit, the ones we make-demand their due. As the Caspian Oil Conference ignites a global reckoning, the Kingston family faces the full consequences of their blood-soaked inheritance... In Baku, Michael Kingston comes face-to-face with Kolya Yurenev. The last great shadow play between Russia and America will decide European hegemony through rival KALEIDOSCOPE operations. In Iraq, Hal Kingston confronts a hidden force greater than Silas's ambitions or Kolya's schemes, one capable of igniting war beyond anything KALEIDOSCOPE ever imagined. At Foxtail Farm, Melody Kingston's discovery of the family's buried crimes becomes a battle to shield the Kingston children from the living evil of Boone Kelso. Clive Lancer and Paige Kingston stand at the edge of new life-their child, their family, their escape-while British MI6 operatives prepare to deliver final vengeance. And at the center of it all: Lynn Kingston. Facing execution inside a foreign embassy, her fate becomes the fault line between blood and mission. Silas Kingston confronts the inevitable choice: save his daughter and risk dismantling the one operation that could force peace...or sacrifice his own blood to preserve the fragile order holding the world together. A saga of espionage, legacy, and the agonies of love without truth, Beckner's Kaleidoscope fuses Faulkner, Arthurian myth, and the brutal mechanics of power into a spy epic that reshapes the genre-and leaves nothing untouched.
