About the Book

Here's a gripping techno-thriller, laced with political intrigue, in the finest tradition of Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton. Iranian scientists develop an ingenious plan which is destroying America's petroleum supply. A coup is underway to overthrow the Iranian government. The leader of this group has murdered the President of Iran. China is testing the first of twenty of the largest mobile machines ever built. These huge moving factories will convert China's vast soft coal fields into synthetic crude oil. This will double the carbon dioxide content of the world's air, dooming millions to death by asphyxiation or drowning. A deaf, crippled Israeli teenager invents a process to make automotive-grade ethanol from the air we breathe as its source of raw materials. The CEO of the world's largest agrichemical corporation enlists the support of the Deputy Secretary of Energy to help her convince the President of the United States to commit to developing this Israeli process to provide fuel for America's vehicles. Follow President Thomas Garner as he maneuvers his way through these challenges and opportunities. His solution is brilliant. The geopolitics of the world will never be the same. ... "Its daring is immediate"... Kirkus Review ... "A tough satisfying read that will please devotees of the blockbuster political thriller... Kirkus Review
About the Author: First, a heartfelt thank you to Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton. This book would never have been written without their defining the techno-thriller genre for me. Their years of incredible success in captivating this demanding sector of the book-reading population sets a very high bar for the rest of us who also put words on paper. This first novel of mine has gone through three iterations. Originally, the CEO of Lyon Hunter Industries was the classic powerful businessman, Greg Staunton. He was brilliant, driven and handsome. Iraq furnished us with the bad guys. In the second version, the CEO of Lyon Hunter morphed into our brilliant, driven and stunning Gwenn Jordan. I was fortunate to have worked with such a fabulous role model for many years. I will never forget her. The third rewrite followed the realities of the world's daily news developments, and I switched the nationality of the bad guys from Iraqis to Iranians. None of this could have been done without the "Find and Replace" function on my word processing program created by those wonderful folks in Redmond, Washington. Can you imagine going through hundreds of pages of wrinkled yellow legal paper, written on in pencil (or BALL PEN!!) to find all the ramifications involved in shifting hero's genders, villains' nationalities and locale names? Google in particular and the other online search facilities in general, merit a sincere thank you. The ability to do the research, so necessary to feed accurate detail to our readers can now be done from the comfort of our desk chairs. Finally, thanks to my son David for convincing Dad that self-publishing is not a cop-out. Thanks to my daughter Renee for keeping Popsie under IT control, coping with the complexities of the computer. And thanks to my Wonder Woman, my wife Sandra, for keeping this muse fed, clean, healthy and motivated. Larry Howard, The Mews On Willascliff Port Angeles, Washington April 2011
