    Synopsis

    A provocative and riveting thriller about eco-terrorism and a threat to the world’s oil supply

    Publishers Weekly

    Masterful thriller writer Mills returns to his series hero, former FBI agent Mark Beamon (last seen in 2002's Sphere of Influence), with a pulse-pounding apocalyptic scenario that is terrifying in its plausibility. Maverick environmentalist Erin Neal has become a pariah after his provocative book angered both conservationists and conservatives, and a recluse after the death of his ex-lover, eco-terrorist Jenna Kalin. His solitude is interrupted when Beamon, now the head of energy security for the U.S. government, tracks him down to stop a disaster: the destruction of the world's major oilfields by bioengineered bacteria remarkably similar to ones Neal himself considered designing. The bioweapons have already infected the major Saudi sources of oil, and the impact on the U.S. economy makes the identification of the terrorists and a plan to stem the spread of their microorganisms the national priority. While such plots are a dime a dozen, Mills's meticulous research, pacing and carefully developed characters make this variation particularly convincing. (Nov.)

    December 01, 2008: I have read 2 of Kyle Mills' books. Fade and The Second Horseman. Both excellent reads. They grab you from the begining and you don't want to put them down. Unfortunatly, I didn't want to keep picking this one up. I thought it would get better but sadly it did not. I am still a fan and will continue to read his books. Maybe from the library instead of purchasing though.

    A great 'what-if'by Anonymous

    September 09, 2008: This was the first Kyle Mills book for me. The character development was quick and brief but the action started right away. Given what is happening in the world now, with the oil crisis, the idea of such a disasterous bacteria was completely unnerving for me. It has haunted me for days. The book was an exciting quick read. I highly recommended this book.
