Overview: A Chicago native, my first sampling of international travel was a piano master class at the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City, followed by studies in Barcelona and Costa Rica, all of which whetted my appetite for more. Reasoning that a ‘new frontier’ might be interesting, I journeyed to mainland China in January of 1982, at a time when few Westerners had traveled there. This was followed by a long career in importing from Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia and and China. As anyone who’s crossed the Pacific knows, there’s plenty of ‘time to spare’. After reading hundreds of thrillers, I decided to write my own.

Absolute Zero
Those responsible for the security of the nation were now fully awake, more so than they had ever been. The colonel’s words had bored through their fatigue like a laser. “If this thing is unleashed, the population of the planet will be returned to the level of the dark ages or perhaps even earlier. The very existence of mankind could be threatened.” In less than two minutes, they had been catapulted into a terrifying new world where they confronted a threat unlike any other in history. Like travelers awakening on a different planet, they were suddenly surrounded by a very unfamiliar landscape. The gleaming silver tanker truck would not give up its secret easily. Only close inspection by a welder would reveal that the end cap had been skillfully reattached. Indeed, to motorists along the busy interstate, it appeared to identical to thousands of other such trucks that crisscross the country each day. But, unlike them, it contained no liquid, other than the bottled water for the terrorists concealed inside. They slept fitfully, the endless scream of eighteen tires burning into their consciousness. From time to time they would awaken and smoke a cigarette, never looking toward the box at the rear of the steel cavern. It contained a weapon they could not fathom, a horrible weapon. In the early years, Fidel Castro believed his regime would usher in a new world order, with Cuba taking its place among the great nations of the hemisphere. But the American embargo had put an end to that, plunging his country practically into the Stone Age. Gradually, bicycles replaced cars as fuel shortages compounded the scarcity of virtually every basic necessity. On the walls throughout Havana, dispirited citizens scrawled ‘In Cuba, death is redundant.’ As his country slipped deeper into oblivion, Castro’s hatred grew and he resolved to repay the Americans for what they had done.
The Doomsday Diary
In its relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons, Iran never lost sight of one thing: their use would almost certainly invite retaliation. Unless her enemies could first be brought to their knees by other means, the likelihood of emerging unscathed from such a cataclysm would be almost nil. The US, the UK and Israel must be rendered incapable of responding, their militaries struck down inside their submarines and silos, their governments laid low and their populations devastated – all by an enemy far more ancient than Iran. Only then could Iran hope to at last erase the Jews from the face of the Earth.
The Final Inhumanity
In Greek mythology, chimeras were creatures that exhibited the attributes of more than one animal. But in the 21st century, breathtaking advances in the science of genetic engineering turned myth into reality. In clandestine laboratories in China and North Korea, the eight foot long strands of DNA present in every living cell were manipulated in ways never before dreamed of. But the goal was not to create chimeras. They were just the freakish byproducts of a program that sought to manufacture soldiers who could fight harder, pilots who could withstand higher g-forces and scientists who could design weapons systems more advanced than those of any other nation. While legislation in most countries prevented this research, members of a secret organization drawn from the largest bio-tech and pharma companies in Europe were working to create their own enhanced humans to counter China’s. The struggle would be unlike any in human history.
