About this ebook

Every politician has a plan until the demon comes.

An atmospheric thriller that weaves climate change into a story about outcast government agents tracking a mysterious political assassin akin to an urban legend.

 

When a Secret Service operation in 2044 Tokyo goes wrong, a United States Counter Assault Agent finds her career in jeopardy. To get her life back, she partners with a fellow operative and scapegoat from Japan for a covert Presidential mission.

 

Soon after, strange attacks on politicians compel them down a twisted trail to the Shenandoah Forest as they hunt a monstrosity born from indigenous legends. Nicknamed 'The Demon' by locals, they must discern fairytale from foe before another assault.

 

Global threats brewing in the Virginia mountains may alter warfare forever unless they outlive their search and what they discover.

Author

Fish Phillips

Fish Phillips was born and raised as the son of an enlisted Marine. After attending high school in Hawaii, and top universities elsewhere, a genre-defying career path led him to writing. Over decades he has served as a technology founder, medical researcher, college professor, web developer, screenwriter, filmmaker, program manager, and artist. His academic background in science, art, cultural anthropology, and theology enables him to render rich worlds accessible to broad audiences. As a multi-platform creator, his ambition is to share unique, high-concept, stand-alone stories with readers to delight, entertain, and cultivate their curiosity. Based in Atlanta, he lives with his engineer wife and a teenage daughter who mocks him with "Look at daddy signing books like he's famous."
