When his wife—a former CIA and White House advisor—is assassinated, petroleum geologist Ace Futrell is drawn into her posthumous crusade to expose a horrifying conspiracy: a plot by powerful insiders to let terrorists detonate a nuclear weapon on U.S. soil, providing a pretext to invade Iran and control the planet's dwindling oil. Racing from Washington to the Saudi desert to a torture prison, Ace must weaponize a computer program that drains terror money while trying to save his children—and prevent Armageddon. A cautionary techno-thriller built on real 'peak oil' and 9/11 research.
- From the bestselling author of MEG comes a chilling political thriller that reads like tomorrow's headlines
- A cautionary tale backed by real research: what if the next 9/11 was an inside job?
- One ordinary man against Big Oil, the CIA, and a plot to sacrifice an American city
- A dying woman's final gambit could save civilization—or doom her husband
“When we are the monsters in the story, then the horror becomes a little too real.”
Perfect for an adult thriller reader who enjoys politically provocative conspiracy fiction in the vein of Michael Crichton or Vince Flynn and is intrigued by peak-oil and 9/11-skeptic themes.
