Omega Crisis - Steven E Wilde

. .

Résumé :
President Gregory McCormick faces an Omega Crisis: the threat of a nuclear detonation on U.S. soil, which would push the world toward global thermonuclear war. He knows that Al-Qaeda, Russia, and North Korea are all involved--but who is the prime mover? And can they be stopped before it's too late? As U.S. intelligence searches for answers, McCormick turns to an old friend outside of the halls of government for advice. Dr. Amos Blund, brilliant doctor, inventor and scientist, is on the verge of a breakthrough not even he can fully comprehend. What had begun as research into new medical imaging techniques has become... something else. When McCormick calls and confides in Blund, Blund quickly becomes convinced that a nuclear detonation is unavoidable. He interrupts his research to get his family to safety, angering friends and neighbors left behind when he travels to a hidden retreat. As McCormick and Blund work together to prevent nuclear war, they realize that Blund's research might hold the key to saving the human race . . .
