Sword of a Thousand Suns

Beschreibung

Stirred from the ashes of Tesla's grand experiments in Colorado and the Russian Tunguska event, Sword of a Thousand Suns is the story of a global fight at CERN over the next great discovery of nature's laws that, like Shiva's Sword, could be a godly power or planet destroyer. Physics dropout, Dr. Brad Jorsen, is rocked out of his hermit's cabin in Crested Butte, Colorado when he saves Dr. Brenda Drake, a prominent physicist from the University of Michigan, in a high-profile hiking accident that kills many top-tier American physicists. A popular religious right-wing organization, in return for political control of the US government, secretly becomes the stiff-arm of an international conspiracy to control the next great power upgrade at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. Brenda is assigned as the lead American at CERN, where a new gravity particle with more power ever imagined is being propagated by the Russians-now at the helm, but under scrutiny from the West. Brad follows to Switzerland to protect Brenda and help decipher this new theory, where on top of Russian secrecy, he is met by a well-timed European tour of the leader of the deadly religious cult.

Dr. Norman P. Johnson splits his home between Lake Stevens, Washington and Hawaii. He is divorced, retired, and has two grown daughters. Some of his many former lives include working under the Atomic Energy Commission performing high-energy particle experiments at Argonne National Laboratory. He later became one of the "Higgs Hunters" at the short-lived Superconducting Super Collider, including an in-between stint with NASA, launching science satellites and developing large-scale upper-atmospheric computer simulations that became the basis for all computer weather forecasting today. During the '70s, he spent time touring with major rock bands, gets involved with shady Rock & Roll intrigue, witnesses the backstory on one of Rock's greatest songs, and with Fanfare Productions, designs and builds a new speaker system that delivered the loudest, clearest PA in the industry. He escapes the Nixon oppression by moving to Crested Butte, Colorado, where he designs and builds the first satellite cable TV systems in the Rockies. Dr. Johnson later helped design, deploy, and manage large-scale cellular and satellite digital telecommunications systems worldwide for companies such as Cablevision, Aramco, MCI, and Qualcomm. After the internet crash of 1998, he found himself unemployed and started Accel Net, a high-speed wireless internet provider in Seattle, which he grew into a multi-million-dollar business. He enjoys movies and has spent thousands of hours in obscure projection booths showing vintage 35 and 16mm films. He has penned several books and screenplays, with more written works in progress. In his off hours, he makes and sells a traditional craft Hash, Yeti Scat Trails, enjoys the fruit of his labors, fishes for the wily salmon, skis the flats, restores old things, and hangs with animals and other friends at Norm's Rancho Deluxe. Wa-ha-ho-te'!
