About this ebook

Pop-Up is a suspense/thriller set along the US/Mexico border: illegal immigrants mysteriously dying, drugs and the cartel moving north, weapons and money heading south, terrorists crossing freely. Southern California gang warfare escalating. Vigilantes and white supremacists mobilizing. US president Antonio Villas, elected by fed-up voters to solve the countys problems, is in over his head. Operation Pop-Up, his top-secret effort to resolve the border conflict, fails catastrophically. Caught in the middle of the escalating border war is Pulitzer Prizewinning investigative reporter Sam Brashly, who fights for his life and the sovereignty of the United States.

Author

Robert Wernli

Robert Wernli Sr. is an international expert in the technology that weaves throughout his first two novels, Second Sunrise and Sunrise Cartel; he has chaired eighteen international conferences in related technology in the United States, Canada, Scotland, Norway, Taiwan, China, and Japan. In Pop-Up, he spins off his investigative reporter in those two novels, Sam Brashly, for his own thriller along the US/Mexico border. He holds mechanical engineering degrees from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and San Diego State University. A former navy-qualified diver, he has spent his career developing unmanned underwater robotic vehicles and work systems. Recently retired from a navy research center in San Diego, California, he now works as a consultant in underwater robotics and technology as president of First Centurion Enterprises. He has coauthored two nonfiction works: a comprehensive book on CD-ROM on underwater vehicles, Operational Effectiveness of Unmanned Underwater Systems and the recently released second edition of The ROV Manual. He lives in San Diego, California, with his wife, Beverley.
