The Saint Michael Thriller Series features a complex man and prominent antihero, John REDACTED. He conditionally agreed to help the Holy See’s Division of Intelligence & Counter-Espionage establish an elite Absolver training program, and John arrogantly believed his decades of clandestine experience would prevent him from ever again unknowingly advancing hidden and subversive agendas.
These are some of the events and circumstances that led him to train and lead the Absolvers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
John spent almost five decades in direct service of the United States, its citizens, and their international interests. He’s worked on every continent and spent significant time and engaged in considerable activities on all but one of them. The last three decades of his federal employment focused on training and developing high, mission-focused operational capacities among his employees. The Director of REDACTED quietly ordered that organization’s US flag lowered to half-staff the day John retired.
BISHOP HOFFABURR’S RECOMMENDATIONS
John REDACTED is exceptionally qualified to administer and operate the proposed training program, but holds equal ideological ties to his faith and his country. Despite professional success at REDACTED, he resigned in protest following the failure of Operation REDACTED and its resulting change in operations directorate leadership. This duality is expected to become a source of conflict should his intrinsic national values oppose the objectives and work of the REDACTED. Current directive from leadership at Division of Intelligence & Counter-Espionage is to strongly compartmentalize all but training and target objectives that absolutely require John’s involvement.
