Opis

Dr. John O'Keefe, a brilliant young professor of organic chemistry and petroleum engineering, is working on a secret new catalytic process for refining oil that promises to deliver the United States from its dependence on foreign oil while at the same time yielding a safer, lower-priced and more Eco-friendly product than traditional gasoline. This new product promises to have major positive impact on both the economic recovery and international strength of the U.S. But, obviously threatened by the potential of reduced oil sales and profits, international oil producing nations are eager to steal O'Keefe's research. And, radical environmental activists are eager to nullify--or, shall we say--blow up the research. When key players behind the scenes of the long-awaited and newly-elected, conservative federal government enlist the services of Dr. O'Keefe and his research team, several spectacular, but equally sinister, adventures begin and The Catalyst tells these stories. In a style that does not shy from examining the tough issues of the day, author Mike Crone weaves thrilling fictional accounts of:

• The workings of CIA agents in cooperation with Israeli Mossad agents to help weaken and depose the despotic government of Iran.
• The stealth activities of the U.S. Navy Seal Team to thwart a Chinese missile attack against the Republic of China (ROC), better known as Taiwan.
• The top-secret lab activities of Dr. John O'Keefe and his research partners whose work is forced underground by nefarious threats from terrorists.
• The fortuitous planning and engineering of a team of patriots, elected officials and engineers to forge an energy-independent future for the United States of America.
• And much more.

As one reviewer writes: "Mike Crone's new novel The Catalyst will both educate you and entertain you at the same time. Set in the near future, after years of "progressive" government the story-line assumes a severely weakened America trying to recover from the apparent failure of Progressivism and attempting to defend itself against a Jihadist Iran. The tense, action-filled story seethes with realistic international intrigue, espionage and potential beginnings of World War III, but is also an ingenious matrix for the 'war of ideas, ' which is how it educates. To this reader the education was equally as engaging as the well-researched drama. "The story has an upbeat ending that could serve as an example for the real America in the real 'war of ideas ' --Al Osborn" So, Join the Future and get The Catalyst now
