The Thor Conspiracy [Paperback]

In the not-so-distant future, Andy Moss, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intern, discovers documents that implicate the U.S. government, now controlled by a fascist version of the EPA, in a massive political cover-up involving a nuclear testing project called THOR. Moss is killed by the authorities, but not before he turns the THOR documents over to his supervisor, Dale Crawford. As Crawford rushes against time to get the documents into the right hands, he encounters a country deeply divided by the restrictive policies of a corrupt political regime. Although the thinly drawn characters are mostly caricatures of particular political opinions, Burkett's (The Illuminati, Nelson, 1992) novel is filled with the fast-faced action, suspense, and intrigue of a Clancy thriller. Recommended for public libraries.

It begins in the 1960s-an unimaginable series of political machinations leading to one act of greed and destruction after another, until in the twenty-first century, the world faces a single, global dictator. Behind the takeover is an odd, yet frighteningly effective, alliance of international governments and inner-city gangs.

Lining up against the tyrannical forces are three men, each committed to exposing the fifty-year-old conspiracy, and together capable of mounting an undeniably formidable resistance. If they succeed, the world has a chance. If they fail, the world is doomed to the prospect of a Fourth Reich. The key to the worlds future is The Thor Conspiracy.
