Book description
Fighting has spread across the Middle East and Central Asia to the
borders of China. In the US, refugees from climate-change disaster
subsist in FEMA camps. Images of official executions circulate on the
Internet like al Qaeda videos. State agencies sponsor conspiracy
theories as cover-ups. As the troops of the last superpower stand
astride the last of the oil, China and Russia aren't the only states
considering their options: certain nations of Old Europe are quietly
preparing for the worst.
James Travis is a middle-aged middle manager in a software company.
He has a son in the army, a daughter in a peace-protest camp outside a
USAF base, and a compromising relationship with a foreign intelligence
service. When his cover is blown hours before a nuclear explosion
destroys the base, Travis, his son, and his daughter are all in
serious trouble. And as the spooks and disinformation specialists
focus their efforts on his capture, Travis knows that all it will take
is one mistake and his only memorial will be another grainy video on .
. . The Execution Channel
