One lonely day in Kansas farm country, a college professor enroute to a new job, encounters her biggest "surprise package" ever; a handsome, intelligent, faithful FBI agent, battered and mangled, and his equally battered and mangled government car at the side of the road.

Kate soon finds herself enmeshed with Agent Gareth McFadyn's dark world of spies, terrorists, hackers and corrupt bureaucracies, and her planned road trip and career move ultimately are derailed. However, in the middle of this unforeseen mess and intrigue, Kate and Gareth together discover their similarities, and not their starkly different class backgrounds and upbringings.

Together, the unlikely pair discover a deep and lasting companionship, a binding faith in their God, a passion for fun and adventure, and more importantly than not, a burning will to survive against all odds, when the evil machinations of terrorist leader Klaus Vogle, along with bad office politics, and the unscrupulous scheming of Gareth's industrial tycoon father, Andrew McFadyn.

Thus begins the modern tale of a chivalrous knight and his fair, wise maiden. Follow agent Gareth "Dru" McFadyn and his "random" traveling companion, Kate Greenwood, on their odyssey of love, adventure, faith, morality, and patriotism in Counterstrike: Heaven Sent.

Counterstrike: Heaven Sent The Short Book follows Kate from the cornfield in Kansas, where she meets a bloodied Agent Gareth, hints at the scummy office politics of the Denver FBI Office, continues with the perilous journey back to Washington DC, introduces Agent Gareth's both brilliant and eccentric tech team at the FBI's secret Section Six, and concludes with Kate's own bitter and nasty career drama in DC.

The Short Book reveals a bit more of the dark, lonely, and troubled personal and romantic histories of Kate and Agent Gareth, as they grow closer, against the vile backdrop of Klaus Vogle's cold blooded terrorism and murder plots.

The Short Book concludes the bloody Scotland adventure, followed by a legal misunderstanding in New York, and more bad career melodrama back in Washington DC. It continues with a horseback ride in the Appalachian Mountains, and a nighttime showdown at the nation's most famous Lighthouse Park. It follows up with further deep and dark intrigues, leading to a fabulous Episcopal Wedding near San Francisco Harbor, and ultimately reaching the thrilling and exciting climax of Counterstrike: Heaven Sent.
