Product Description
Agnew, a small farming community in south-central Texas, has just been obliterated in the nationβs worst rail accident in history. The President of the United States enlists cybersecurity expert, Mike Paxton, to lead the investigation and determine who is to blame. As Mike seeks to uncover the truth behind the attack, more weapons of mass destruction are unleashed across the country in what appears to be an attempt to eradicate western society. Those who survive are forced into a near-apocalyptic existence: transportation, manufacturing, agricultural, and oil industries crumble, and economic collapse devastates America. With time and resources running out, Mike must discover the cruel forces at play. Are these violent attacks merely a ploy to preoccupy the American government so a larger, global plan can be carried out without the threat of intervention by Americaβs powerful military defense? Will Mike and his team be able to stop them before itβs too late? Or will the United States lose all hope of maintaining its status as the most powerful country in the world?
Review
ββ"Domestic Violence is an ambitious and broad-based debut novel introducing protagonist Mike Paxton and author Chuck Edmonds who both appear destined to carve out their place on the bookshelves of political thriller fans. Edmonds displays a deft understanding of global political intrigue and populates his book with characters readers will love to love or love to hate. Climb aboard and buckle up." -Mike Murphey, Award-Winning Author of the Physics, Lust and Greed Series
"Domestic Violence: A Thriller. Cinematic. Intelligent. And a sobering reality check. A well-orchestrated covert assault on the American homeland yields the greatest fatality toll for a single event in recorded human history, and it prompts the hunt for a multi-generational cabal of bankers, clerics, and global money managers determined to cripple the U.S.A. on the world stage. This cautionary tale reminds us no one is exempt from the evil that is terrorism, but neither is anyone exempt from the pursuit of justice by a presidentially-appointed cybersecurity expert and his team, no matter how long the task might take. Kudos to author Chuck Edmonds. Five-plus stars for Domestic Violence: A Thriller!" -Laura Taylor, 6-Time Romantic Times Award Winner
