Many fanatics believe the End Times are coming . . . a few can’t wait. For them, the prophecies for Armageddon are clear, if only they could trigger the war that starts it all by blaming Iran for a horrendous act of terrorism. American retaliation would start the dominoes falling. The final battles would begin. Enter Jack Kant and his girlfriend Angela Bow. They don’t have a lot, but they do have each other. Jack’s a muckraker journalist with an unhealthy compulsion for poking in places where he shouldn’t. Angela is a resourceful documentary researcher and not above kicking a wiseguy where it hurts. When Kant visits a sketchy source to return a package of illegally-obtained materials and back out of a story he’s considering, he confronts a long-haired deliveryman who slaughters the whistle-blower, his wife, and nearly Kant, to obtain said materials. Kant escapes with the package, but before he can get home, Angela’s six-year-old niece, Kiley, is abducted. Should he go to the police, even though he’s soon framed as a suspect in the murders? Would they even follow up on one of the odd items in the package -- a brochure about the dangers of natural gas storage facilities with the phrase “55 Hiroshima bombs” circled? He is drawn into the scariest story of his life, and his obsession with learning secrets demands that he follow up, but what about Kiley? His choices are grim and the world is pressing down on them, more so than he knows, if he doesn’t act there may be no world. On the run, he and Angela must use all of their ingenuity to outwit unknown adversaries while trying to determine who their friends are and who would make them patsies in an international conspiracy.

The ISIS Lone Wolf Trigger, by NIK VENTURE From the Author The 9 Most Important Things You Probably Didn't Know About Suicide Terrorists:
In the past five years, lone wolves were the second major cause of terrorist deaths in the OECD countries.According to the University of Chicago Suicide Attack Database, between 1982-2015, for all countries, all groups, all types of weapons, there were: Total Attacks 4,180; Total Deaths, 36,934; Total Wounded 96,141Suicide terrorism is not exclusive to Islamic, or religious beliefs in general. The Tamil Tigers, leading perpetrators of suicide attacks, for example, are a Marxist-Leninist group hostile to religion. In the last 14 years religion-based terrorism has increased.Are suicide terrorists simply suicidal? A Tel Aviv University terrorism expert, Ariel Merari, studied nearly every Middle East suicide bomber's background over a period of decades and discovered, "In the majority you find none of the risk factors normally associated with suicide, such as mood disorders or schizophrenia, substance abuse or history of attempted suicides."Organizations are most responsible. They create the popular support for the act (being martyrs) as benefiting a cause. The suicide terrorists are then usually isolated (to avoid them having second thoughts) and indoctrinated relentlessly.Better-off and educated people are the best recruits because they are likely to be politically motivated, and therefore more committed to a cause.According to an MI5 (British intelligence) report, engineers are three to four times as likely as other students with degrees to be members of violent Islamic groups, after reviewing data going back to the 1970s.The modern era of suicide bombing began with the Hezbollah bombing, in Beirut, of the US embassy, killing 63.Has historical roots throughout history: The 1st century Jewish Zealots in Judea against Romans; Islamic assassins in the middle ages; Japanese Kamikaze pilots in WWII.Interesting factoids: In 2012, worldwide, 437,000 people were victims of homicide and 11,000 were killed from terrorism. Between 2000 and 2011, in the U.S., 195,000 people were homicide victims and 3,029 were the victims of terrorism (2,977 on 9/11). In the same period, in the UK, there were 57 terror victims and 10,776 homicides (56 on the terrorist attack of 7/7).AUTHOR Q AND A:One of your characters defeats the TSA's No-Fly list, using an approach called the "ID Triangle"; do you worry that someone in real life could use this method? It was a concern, but unfortunately that cat is out of the bag. Moreover, sometimes a novel can bring about change, to a law or procedure, by casting light on it. The "Day of the Jackal fraud" eventually led to the elimination of the loophole used in the UK to obtain a false identity and passport.Tell us about your bad guys. There are three, technically, but I can't say any more without revealing the plot. However, I think I've got villains who believe in what they are doing, and you learn why quite clearly, and so they are not stock bad guys, which is just boring to me. I've created one villain, not the ISIS guy, that I think not too many authors have tried before. You may be surprised.What kind of thrillers or authors influenced you? For my money, Day of the Jackal, by Frederick Forsyth, was the best thriller I've ever read. Impossible to put that book down. For technothrillers, I loved the way Michael Crichton was able to weave technology and science into his books with so much authority, without slowing the book down. (I'm not a total fan, characterization and political theme weren't his strong suits in my humble opinion). Others whom I respect in a variety of styles include John Updike, John D. MacDonald, Dennis Lehane, Ken Follett, Len Deighton . . . too many to name, really.What made you write about the military's airborne laser program? The Airborne Laser was an awesome, but flawed, attempt at producing a lethal leapfrog in ballistic missile defense. It featured a chemical laser mounted in the hollowed-out body of a brand new 747-400F freighter. Its mission was to be dispatched to a hot zone where rogue missiles might be launched and intercept them with its laser from as far away as 350 miles, depending on whether it was a more vulnerable liquid-fueled booster, or a more hard-to-destroy solid-fueled one. The heart of the system is the megawatt Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (COIL) which uses a combination of hydrogen peroxide, potassium, sodium, and lithium hydroxide. It is a highly toxic, Draino-like concoction. When operational, it would fly a figure eight in a theater of operations within range of the launch site, at 40,000 feet, and could be refueled mid-air from a standard refueling tanker. The COIL laser could be fired a dozen or so times before it would have to undergo a major service overhaul. At least this was the plan. Ballistic missile defense, the idea of "hitting a bullet with a bullet," began at the dawn of the missile age and received a steady stream of research dollars ever since. And using lasers for ballistic missile defense has been dreamed about since the beginning. However, making lasers powerful enough to the task has always been considered the more futuristic option of all the ways one might shoot down a missile. In 1996, a few of the top aerospace companies believed that enough of the technologies had come together to take a shot at finally, actually, building a working Buck Rogers death ray weapon. In 2001, the program was moved out of research status and put under the umbrella of the Missile Defense Agency, and seven working planes were ordered. Eventually, those orders were canceled and it went back to being a one plane research platform which did shoot down a couple of test missiles, but not at the range that could make the whole enterprise actually feasible. And so, after spending $5 billion on the program over 16 years, it was cancelled. I resurrected it here, but for all I know, maybe it is being reborn right now, if someone put together the right tweaks to make it hit the firing distance that they need, for it to be viable. Or they come up with some modified version and a new mission. For example, a so called "diode pumped" laser able to ramp up the wattage and configured on a smaller platform than a 747.How does so called "junk DNA" play into all of this? First of all, junk DNA is a misnomer, ultraconserved strings is what they are more appropriately called. You see, the whole human genome consists of 2.9 billion letters, that ACTG stuff that they taught you in high school. Now, that's about 750 megabytes of data taken as a whole, but only about three percent of that is involved in making up the 22,000 genes that make us who we are, the remaining 97 percent is this so-called junk DNA. However, if the RNA portion is non-coding - that is, protein making - and it still has some critical command and control functions, then it stays put. For a very long time. Japanese researchers have already shown that they can manipulate these strings and insert a message right into the DNA that would last, well, if not forever, a very long time. What if someone already did? As to how it all plays into the plot, well, I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you before you unleashed that particular spoiler.

Great storytelling from Nik Venture By The Kindle Book Review Nik Venture can certainly craft a story; he keeps the reader engrossed, on the edge of the seat and takes them on a roller coaster ride. It is packed with gritty characters who are well so drawn and come alive from early on in the book. All the characters are believable; they stand alone with individual personalities. The settings are varied and very detailed. The descriptions are vivid and dialogue is believable. With assignments not being what they seem, secrets and dodgy dealings, mysterious objects and past lives rearing their heads there are multi layers to this novel. It is a complex plot, but not confusing, the twists and turns along the way make it a great page turner. There were some surprises I did not see coming. The pace slows in places so you can catch your breath, but not for long! A book highly recommended. I hope to read more from Nik Venture really soon.The Kindle Book Review received a free copy of this book for an independent, fair, and honest review.
