Dead Energy

Beschreibung

Global oil supplies suddenly vanish and society starts to crumble in this science fiction mystery. While on vacation sailing the waters of the Puget Sound, geophysicist Alex Cave hears a Mayday call and sees a brilliant flash of neon blue light surround an oil tanker. He changes course to help and discovers there was no explosion, no one on board, and the oil has mysteriously vanished without a trace. His only clue is a three-inch crystal found in the empty hold of the tanker. The Reverend Menno Simons, an environmental fanatic, leads his followers on a crusade to rid the world of crude oil, forcing good people to do horrible things. If he is not stopped, the only law will be that of survival. Harold Woolley, a mild-mannered man with a domineering wife and two teenagers who do not respect him, gets caught up in the struggle and is forced to find the courage to get his family to a survivalist camp, but it's not what he expected, and he must fight to save their lives. Things go from bad to worse as the Alaska pipeline and west coast refineries are suddenly empty! Civilization descends into chaos when the lack of fuel keeps basic necessities from reaching the inner cities, pitting human against human in a desperate attempt to survive the madness spreading across the planet. Alex's only clue is the crystal, which under a high-powered microscope, appears to be alive. A fantastic ride, with thrilling scenarios, exhilarating situations, and nail-biting suspense, by this bestselling and award-winning author. How does Alex stop Menno before civilization reaches total collapse? Find out by grabbing your copy now!

Autor

James M. Corkill is a Veteran and retired Federal Firefighter from Washington State, USA. He was an electronic technician and studied mechanical engineering before eventually becoming a firefighter and retiring. He began writing in 1997, and was fortunate to meet a famous horror writer named Hugh B. Cave, who became his mentor. In 2002, he self-published a dozen copies of Dead Energy, just so his wife could see his book before she was taken by cancer. When his soul mate was gone, he stopped writing and began drinking heavily until 2013, when he met a stranger who recognized his name and had enjoyed an old copy of Dead Energy. When the stranger encouraged him to start writing again, he realized this chance meeting was just what he needed to hear at the right moment, and he quit drinking and began the rewrite of Dead Energy into The Alex Cave Series. He is now an award-winning author. You can contact mister Corkill through his website: http://jamescorkill.com
