3 Wise Men


Book Description

The power is not in the Congress, the courts or in the Whitehouse. The power is in the hands of the men manipulating them…it’s in the hands of the "3 Wise Men". Evil lurks within politics but explodes within the sanctuary of religion. When the lust for power intersects a plan to destroy the world in the name of God, who can stop the lunacy? Only one man and he is running out of time and not sure who the enemy really is. From the PublisherSenator Jack Marshall always believed that his past would come back to haunt him, but he could never have envisioned the nightmare that was about to unfold. When Jack's girlfriend and his son are kidnapped, he has no choice but to help his old partner Terry commandeer a bio-weapons facility at Sandia Lab in Albuquerque. The terrorists holding the lab threaten to unleash bio-weapons on American cities if the US interferes in the sudden and escalating violence in the Middle East. Jack can't see the connection between the threat to unleash weapons and the Middle East, but he doesn't know that Terry is in cahoots with an ex-patriot Iranian and rogue CIA agent who has promised to get him out of the country to avoid prison.
Shortly after the taking of the lab, the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia, the President of Egypt and other mid-East leaders are assassinated; and Al-Jazeera reports it's the work of the Israeli Mossad. Widespread violence ensues as the Muslims swear to take revenge on the Israelis; and despite the Israeli's insistence that they are being set up, all the evidence points to them. The US President is laid impotent by the misinformation campaign, the bio-weapons threat and the squabbling among his own advisors. On Christmas Day an historic Palestinian town is leveled by nuclear weapons and the Muslims blame Israel. The President learns it was the Israeli Defense Minister who fired the American-supplied nukes, but he and the Prime Minister of Israel, who swears he didn't order the attack, blame Al-Qaeda. When the Secretary of State learns the truth about who fired the nukes, he attempts to make it public but is assassinated on live TV. Unleashing nukes on the Palestinians is not the! act of any government or terrorist group; it's the well-calculated act of the 3 Wise Men that brings the world to the brink of Armageddon.
Jack learns the shocking truth about the 3 Wise Men; and clandestinely releases the videotaped proof to the press. The identity of the 3 Wise Men is revealed when the media broadcasts the video and the world is shocked when they find out who the terrorists really are.
