A new kind of terrorist threatens America. These killers do not use military weapons of any sort. Instead, they deploy exotic industrial technology in deadly new ways. Each attack has the potential for hundreds of civilian casualties. The carnage, which is already severe, seems ready to escalate. The terrorists promise bigger, bloodier attacks if America’s president does not send them a billion dollars.The president knows things need to move quickly. America’s sea of faceless bureaucrats, he says, is far too slow to win this race against the clock. Even worse, they’re think-inside-the-box-people. He therefore makes a big bet on one remarkable young man.Specifically, he puts a thirty-something civilian scientist, Thomas Irwin, in charge of stopping these fiendishly clever terrorists. Irwin’s a brilliant inventor, who lives alone in an Alaskan mountain fortress. He’s also a man with a secret life he would like to escape.Irwin immediately needs a support team at his mountain stronghold. Seasoned Capitol Hill staffer, Molly Olson, is rushed to Alaska to assemble that team. She’s marvelously effective-or, at least, she was so before Montshire’s senior U.S. senator groped her in an elevator. Molly left him semi-conscious on the elevator floor. Now her career’s in jeopardy, and Irwin’s strange project is her last chance.That’s how the story begins: America depends on Thomas Irwin, who, in turn, relies on a very angry young woman. The surprises will start soon. Expect more than a few of them as the story flies by. We think you’re going to love what’s ahead.MIKVELK Publishing, LLC
