About this ebook
"We all knew catastrophe loomed. We just didn't believe it would happen this way" (anonymous). Certain Death One is about a wildfire, not the kind that kills trees, or burns through the human population like a pandemic or message of hate. It is human-made, by accident and, if it escapes, will destroy all life within thirty miles. It is slowly eating its way through an experimental rail tank car in the most densely populated area of the United States, and nobody knows whether it's a gas, a virus or something else that defies description. Certain Death One chronicles a race against time covering a period of fourteen hours and three men are about to be thrown together to face this most terrifying challenge in human history, the transportation and neutralization of an ecological horror. They are William Jeremiah, former superstar of the covert Special Operations branch of the CIA, who desperately seeks redemption while fighting an emotional breakdown; Carl Bzynski, a friendless, divorced bigot, who also happens to be the most experienced engineer in the state of New Jersey; and Hosea Bethea, a diminutive African-American soldier honing skills that may save millions. Together, they must face the unrelenting threat of a Category Four hurricane and a band of terrorists that is bent on destroying the train.
Richard Van Doren
Richard Van Doren is an ordained minister in a mainline Protestant denomination. He has always been fascinated by the fringe element in American culture and the extreme events that test faith. All of his novels and short stories deal with the collision of spirituality and earthly crises, or the ongoing conflict between the forces of good and evil. He moonlights as a college composition instructor, and every semester he teaches his students the two most important rules of writing: 1) write on a subject about which you know something, and 2) write on a subject about which you feel strongly. Over the years he has read and heard about countless instances of dark invasions into every day, innocent living. Anyone who has ever experienced something very strange, or who believes that we live in a reality that extends far beyond this world of the five senses will find his novels and stories much to their liking. All of these works contain instances that Van Doren has either experienced in his career or was told about by friends, students, parishioners and family.
