A suspenseful novel about an impending oil crises that threatens to derail the free world

Cry Havoc is a suspenseful novel about an impending oil crises that threatens to derail the free world. When a peaceful Israeli jet is shot down over Egypt, it sets off a chain reaction leading to a brutal embargo, and the threat that further military force will cause the destruction of 70% of the world's oil supply. America's first female president and her advisor are offered a shady scheme to sidestep a Middle East morass - by getting chin-deep in Chinese politics. At odds between a possible nuclear war with China and a lethal Middle East showdown, Cry Havoc deftly crafts a scenario in which the all of humanity teeters on the brink of World War III. A nail-biting read to the very last page.

Timely and Thrilling

John Hamilton Lewis' latest Middle Eastern thriller "Cry Havoc" kept me up all night, occupied my thoughts for days. Nuclear terrorism, World War III, the end of days, Lewis knows how to walk a tightrope. This is a fantastic read.

A superb tale of WWIII brinksmanship.

Cry Havoc is a terrific read. With the Middle East is up in arms and China preparing for nuclear war, America's first lady president demonstrates she has the courage and wisdom of any man. The pace was so unbelievable that I finished the book in one sitting. Author John Lewis writes with authority and conviction. His characters, plotting, and imagery are superb. I am an avid thriller/mystery writer and highly recommend this book.
