Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy
The Devil's Sword
By a top author. “Kevin, Rachel,and Ben are young fencers eager to compete in an upcoming tournament at Nellis Air Force Base. But when they arrive, they become unwilling pawns in a twisted plan to steal the ultimate weapon. A plan that somehow revolves around the tournament. Now, battling for their very survival, they must find a way to stop the two brilliant arms dealers behind it all. But the arms dealers hold all the cards. And far more is at stake than just their lives . . .”
Midnight Sun
Terrorism, Alaska.
The Merchant
“Cyberspace becomes the Fourth Domain of War, along with Air,Land, and Sea.”
Crimson Sky
“a deadly, far-reaching conspiracy to assassinate the President of the United States, and change the destiny of the Middle East forever.”
Deadfall
Youth. “Ty finds he has stumbled across a plot to launch the worst terrorist attack the world has known, with thousands of lives at risk on the London Underground. Dismissed at every turn by the authorities, it soon becomes clear to Ty that only he and his gang, the Cyberhawks, can prevent the devastating attack planned by the group known as “Storm Troopers TZ9”. Stand by for Operation Deadfall...”
A Place Unknown
Youth. “An Indonesian terrorist group blows up San Francisco's high voltage power lines, plunging the city into darkness and chaos. Meanwhile, nine year old prodigy, Vincent Lowe, son of a Marine lieutenant colonel, moves with his family to a recently built U.S. military base in Indonesia. The Indonesian President supports the U.S. presence in his country, but others do not, including Santoso, the opposition candidate in the upcoming election. After Vincent starts high school in Jakarta, he attends a soccer game where bombs explode killing dozens of spectators and Vincent suspects one of his teachers may be involved. Vincent takes it upon himself to help unravel a dangerous plot invoving the CIA, a terrorist cell, the election, and ultimately the military base where he lives.”

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
The Jisil-ou-az-lar
“In a far future earth of melted polar ice, cities are gone; continents are flooded and humankind must fend its way by sea. Only a handful of individuals survive on ships, invariably in competition with each other. Can one lonely man make a difference to the lives of a few? Learn about the hero's saga in a sombre world aboard—The Jisil-ou-az-lar. Science fiction, 9800 words.”
Crimson Rain
“Several decades after a nuclear catastrophe rocked the globe only two bastions of civilization stand secure on the planet. Amongst the technology and the relative peace and serenity, though, lies a darkness that is kept anything but secret. The government allows the rich to victimize the poor and large corporations to kidnap people like guinea pigs for their experiments. Two corporations seek to overthrow the governments and reach for global domination. Meanwhile, three unlikely heroes are seeking change, each one for their own purpose. Can they stop the change that is to come before it is too late or will they fail, dooming the earth to slavery at the hands of these evil corporations?”
Pandemic
“Brian Yester, a veteran of the Iraqi wars, seems to be the only person alive after the world is struck by a highly contagious and deadly flu pandemic. He struggles to carry on as he grieves for his dead family. Brian finally accepts his situation and devises a plan to find others who may have survived. After months of searching, he finds survivors and something more sinister than he could have ever imagined.”
The Bulletproof Series
Complete novel, not a series as title suggests. “It is 2031 and the United States of America is wracked by civil war. Americans' liberties have been stripped from them by an oppressive dictatorship.

Dominion I: Seed

SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS
Deadeye Dick (Kurt Vonnegut Series)
From very well-known print author (who was also a World War II POW.) Originially published ~1982. “Rudy Waltz (aka “Deadeye Dick”) is the lead in this latter day Vonnegut novel. Waltz, our protagonist, moves through the book trying to make sense of a life that is rife with disaster; there is a double murder, a fatal dose of radioactivity, a decapitation, the total annihilation of a city by nuclear holocaust and, believe it or not, more. Waltz, a diarist, becomes symbolic of a person living a fraught post-technological life in which frailty is as likely to be a person's undoing as any bomb.”
