Nikolai 2: The Beast Awakens

By Michael J. Melton

The Rise Of The Beast: Nikolai Ivanov is a man torn between two worlds. A former Spetsnaz operative turned relentless vigilante, he walks the fine line between faith and vengeance, justice and wrath. With a heart devoted to God and hands stained with the blood of the wicked, he has sworn to rid the world of corruption-no matter the cost.

When a ruthless telemarketing ring begins preying on the elderly in the U.S., Russia, and Finland, Nikolai takes it personally. To him, the elderly are sacred-they are to be honored, protected, and never exploited. But as he and his team dismantle the criminals behind the scam, they uncover something far more insidious lurking beneath the surface.

Their hunt for justice leads them into the shadows of Aegis, a secretive organization thought to be long gone. The deeper they dig, the more dangerous the mission becomes, drawing them into the crosshairs of Vanguard, a rising power determined to reshape the future of warfare.

With enemies watching from every corner, and an old ghost named Mason Kane orchestrating something even deadlier, Nikolai and his team are thrust into a fight they never expected. A battle not just for justice, but for survival.

The war has begun. The hunt is on. And the Beast is awakening.
