Neuware - The President is Missing A Political Thriller You think you can draw conclusions from the facts, right You think you can watch the news and understand what's going on, right What if you're wrong In The President is Missing, you are instantly drawn into a massive and terrifying conspiracy that threatens the United States itself. 'What the hell just happened ' I asked Barbara Hightower, my assistant. We were watching a TV first, a live broadcast by the President of the United States from a nuclear submarine deep under the waters of the South Atlantic. The President, Matt Blake, also happens to be my husband. Matt, dressed in naval officer's fatigues, faced the camera holding a microphone. He looked great, but then he always does. Matt's so natural in front of the camera, it's as if the technology was invented for him. But the screen suddenly went blank. 'Beats me, ma'am,' Barbara said. 'If we can't maintain communications with a nuclear submarine, what the hell can we communicate with ' President Matt Blake was addressing the nation from the USS Louisiana, a nuclear submarine deep under the waters of the South Atlantic. His message is suddenly cut off. Nearby ships reported hearing an explosion. Aircraft reported floating debris five minutes later in the vicinity of the sub's last known position. The nation went into mourning for the loss of the popular president. But First Lady, Dee Blake has doubts. Her husband, a lawyer, always told her to distrust the evidence. She did more than distrust the evidence-she uncovered a massive conspiracy to hijack the submarine and kidnap the president. She thinks the explosion and the debris were a ruse to make people think the sub was destroyed and her husband with it. Could the sub have been hijacked and the president kidnapped But who would commit such an act What is its purpose Was it Russia, China, Iran, or a shadowy group of freelance terrorists One thing was certain: the plot had to include mutineers. The new president, Roland Benton, agrees with Dee Blake's suspicions and sees himself as only an interim president. He appoints Dee as his Chief of Staff, with explicit instructions to find the missing submarine-and President Blake. Dee finds the workings of a secretive group right in the United States, a group everyone had thought was destroyed. Her life, and the life of the nation, suddenly take a horrifying turn.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Keepers of Time A Novel of Time Travel What if you're an African-American woman, the youngest admiral in the United States Navy What if your husband, Jack, a famous writer and Naval Reserve Officer, joins you on a deployment of your carrier strike group What if, while steaming off Long Island, you travel through time Instantly you're in a different world, and you don't know if you've traveled to the past-or the future. 'Something's wrong. What's going on This isn't right. Where the hell are we ' Ashley said to Jack as they stood on an open walkway of the USS Ronald Reagan. The ship was cruising off New York's Long Island when the beautiful scenery suddenly disappeared. Admiral Ashley Patterson and her husband Jack have done it again. They've time traveled-this time 200 years into the future-aboard a nuclear aircraft carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan, Ashley's flagship. Ashley, a tall, beautiful African-American woman, is the youngest admiral in the United States Navy. She married a wealthy writer and journalist, Jack Thurber. Married for four years, they love each other's company, and each other. Ashley got permission from the Navy for Jack to accompany her on a deployment. The senior brass is fond of Jack, who is also a lieutenant in the Naval Reserve, for the many positive articles he's written about the Navy. But their time travel has changed everything. When they experienced the shock of crossing the time portal or wormhole, the captain of the ship had a heart attack, so Admiral Ashley took command. They discover a new world, a strange new world-a post-nuclear war world-It's an alternate history, radically different from what they'd expect, a dystopian future that is both a beacon of hope, and a cry of despair. First, they notice that Long Island is a vast wasteland inhabited by bison, wolves, and other creatures-everything but human beings. Then the ship steams around the rivers of New York City, a post-apocalyptic forest growing amidst what used to be sky scrapers. They head down the East Coast, looking for signs of humanity, and come upon what used to be Atlantic City, once a mecca of fun and gambling, but now a depressing expanse of empty casinos, ravenous wolves, and crumbling hotels. There they find a newspaper preserved in plastic. The headline on the front page of The New York Times read: 'Nuclear Talks between Iran and the United States Falter-Large Amounts of Iranian Nuclear Weapons delivered to North Korea. President puts Military on High Alert.' The date on the newspaper was April 12, 2018, a few months after the Reagan began its deployment. But what year is it now Ashley and her trusted officers, including Jack, encounter a group of people who call themselves The Keepers of Time, an organization dedicated to preserving history and culture. The people dress and sound as if they lived in 2018. That's the idea, the head of The Keepers explains. They are dedicated to preserving history before the nuclear apocalypse-200 years ago. But as much as the Keepers of Time have advanced, culturally and intellectually, the surrounding people in what was once known as the United States of America, have reverted back to a primitive and savage past, one that includes human sacrifice. Ashley and Jack know they have to have to get back to the present to warn the government of the unspeakable horrors that await. They have seen the future, and it isn't good. But finding the way back to the present is a challenge, an almost insurmountable one. They were almost aground at high tide when the Reagan hit the wormhole. Without sufficient depth to maneuver the ship, Ashley, Jack, and the entire crew may have to start their lives over-200 years in the future. 'A wild time travel yarn that starts fast and doesn't slow down until the end.' Buy this book now, and get ready for the most amazing time travel adventure of your life.…
