To save civilization, Jacob Stearne embarks on a perilous crusade to retrieve a climate-saving technology from international gangsters, rogue nations, a beautiful actress - and his own boss in this page-turning adventure from acclaimed writer Seeley James that combines quantum physics and Roman mythology with pulse-pounding action. For many years, everyone relied on Jacob Stearne to be the hero who always saves the day. A few weeks ago, he failed to save his fianc?. Despondent ever since, he accepts a suicide mission to rescue a professor and is dragged into a war to own the most critical technology of the century.

Angry at everyone's duplicity, he tries to determine which side should control the world's fate.

Biographie:
His near-death experiences range from talking a jealous husband into putting the gun down to spinning out on an icy freeway in heavy traffic without touching anything. His resume ranges from washing dishes to global technology management. His personal life ranges from homeless at 17, adopting a 3-year-old at 19, getting married at 37, fathering his last child at 43, hiking the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim at 59, and taking the occasional nap. His writing career ranges from humble beginnings with short stories in The Battered Suitcase, to being awarded a Medallion from the Book Readers Appreciation Group. Seeley is best known for his Sabel Security series of thrillers featuring athlete and heiress Pia Sabel and her bodyguard, veteran Jacob Stearne. One of them kicks ass and the other talks to the wrong god. His love of creativity began at an early age, growing up at Frank Lloyd Wright's School of Architecture in Arizona and Wisconsin. He carried his imagination first into a successful career in sales and marketing, and then to his real love: fiction. For more information, visit http://seeleyjames.com
