The Cassandra Syndrome

By Eleonor Mendoza

Book Overview

Anne Cortez and her son Mark were on a cruise of Scandinavia and Russia, when they witnessed a shooting.

Untoward violence seemed to occur around a fellow passenger, Dr. Fawzi Senawi, an Iranian nuclear physicist.

Anne and Mark tried to avoid Senawi; but could they turn their back on a dying man's plea that they save his kidnapped son?

Acting on a clue, Anne surmised that this was connected to the release of the 'Stuxnet cyberworm' by the USA. This malware was supposed to deter the Iranian nuclear program.

Anne and Mark sought the help of the past counter-terrorism czar and other would be patriots, but they are drawn into a deepening web of international intrigue.

Could they avert the repercussions of a cyberwar that would disrupt our financial, electrical, and defense systems; and would make possible the prediction that the Dow Jones Industrial Average would fall to triple digits in 2016?
