Author Spotlight: Unintended Consequences

What if America was no longer dependent on imported oil? What if that miracle turned into an unimaginable nightmare? On the brink of a discovery of unparalleled importance, the world's leading petroleum scientists are being brutally murdered by a team of assassins led by two brothers who enjoy killing -and are very good at it. Their next target is little-known Oregon professor Ian Savage. At first the murders go almost unnoticed. But as the death toll mounts, a secretive government agency speculates that the ultimate goal is to deprive the West of an unbelievable scientific breakthrough that would result in nothing short of complete energy independence. As the agency battles an army of mercenaries working for an unknown terrorist group, for professor Savage's son Peter, the fight takes an extremely personal turn. Thrust into this nightmare, Peter must become even more ruthless and ferocious than the assassins if he hopes to have any chance of saving his father -and his family. From the steamy jungles of Ecuador to the cold waters of the North Pacific; through a harrowing high-speed chase across the Santiam Pass to the tense climax at Peter's condo in Bend; Unintended Consequences is an adrenaline-packed thriller. If you enjoy the action of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt adventures and the suspense of James Rollins-novels, you'll love the roller coaster that is Unintended Consequences!
