Produktbeschreibung

A team from a top-secret government agency must track down a nuclear bomb in this political suspense thriller for fans of Robert Ludlum and Clive Cussler. With America in the crosshairs of criminals who don't have to play by the rules, President James Mitchell needed an edge. That's where Bill Hiccock's Quarterback Ops Group, (QuOG) a top-secret operations cluster run out of the White House, comes in. Given unprecedented power, these dedicated men and women cut through the cells and terror networks at home and abroad, unleashing the full force and determination of America across the world. From psych-ops, where they terrorize the terrorists, to the pure brute force of going in hot, wet, and wild, QuOG uses innovative technology and on-the-spot improvisation to beat the bad guys before they know the game is on. Hiccock fields his handpicked team of the "best of the best" in abilities and prowess: people like Brooke Burrell, who distinguished herself as an FBI agent, and now goes toe to toe with a terrorist mastermind; Bridgestone and Ross who cut through countries, culture, and killers like a laser through butter; former hacker for the mob, Kronos, who practically mind-melds with any computer, network, or Internet backbone and manipulates it to do his bidding; Janice Hiccock, Bill's brilliant wife, who provides insight into the human behavior; and Bill himself, whose keen analytical mind and propensity to somehow find himself in the line of fire befits an academic titan . . .who also happened to have won the Heisman Trophy. Their current goal: find a loose suitcase nuke before it finds its way to a city near you and ends millions of lives.

Autorenporträt

Author Tom Avitabile, a Senior V.P./Creative Director at a New York advertising firm, is a writer, director, and producer with numerous film and television credits. His extensive background in computers and engineering led him to work with the House Committee on Science Space and Technology. Tom's powerful imagination, fed from his experiences in Washington, allowed him to conjure up not only possible security threats, but also real life scenarios relating to how the government and individuals would respond to the high-tech assaults that are featured prominently in his three book "thrillogy." These novels chronicle the exploits of Science Advisor to the President, "Wild" Bill Hiccock. The first techno-thriller of this series, The Eighth Day, became a Barnes and Noble #1 bestseller. In his next thriller, The Devil's Quota, Avitabile departs from the high-tech genre and sheds daylight on an evil international syndicate, a story of sexual deviation, greed, human trafficking and corruption.
