2000s: New York City is under attack. Millions may die
New York City is under attack. Millions may die. But the enemy’s weapons are invisible, undetectable and creating terror at lightning speed. A Hiroshima survivor turned criminal mastermind Pharma industry fat cats corrupted by big money A Libyan fast food entrepreneur coerced by threats to his family A New York cop falling fast for an elusive beauty Visitors to Tokyo from the desolate villages of southern Afghanistan One terrible desire connects them all – one man’s burning need to avenge those who died at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. With an audacious and devastating plot to bring America to its knees, can anyone save New York from disaster?
A real event mixed with very believable fiction.
Nuclear bombing of Japan
Japan was bombed by the United States during the Second World War. The events surrounding Hiroshima are very well known, but perhaps the consequences for those who lived through it and were most affected by it, less so. Some people it would seem have been waiting all this time to plot their revenge.
New York
One of the biggest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world, so an ideal place for launching a campaign to get revenge on the USA. There have sadly been terror attacks in New York in real life we are all too aware of, but this involves something much more subtle. Getting people addicted to and reliant on antibiotics so that the next part of a plan of control can be put into place…
What do we consume as a society and how reliant are we on the very things we take for granted and think are helping us? The city of New York is that busy, chaotic city, when contrasted with Tokyo and Afghanistan looks even busier and not unlike a petri dish ready for experiments. The city is evoked well, with its busy police stations, rushes to get to the next scene and the discovery of the city through the eyes of those recently arrived.
Afghanistan
The HQ and hunting ground of Al-Qaeda and other terror groups as reported in the news.
