North Korea has nukes and is ready to launch them at the United States.
Launch facilities for weapons of mass destruction on the Korean Peninsula must be destroyed before they can be used against the West by the North Korean military dictator and his Neo-Soviet allies, potentially escalating the fighting and forcing a break with the NATO alliance that could lead to massive retaliation and global war, a move which would play into the hands of expansionist militarists in the Kremlin.
At the same time another threat looms, one created by the Pentagon itself in the form of a super-intelligent computer cloud that has plans of its own which spell trouble for the entire human race.
This is a thriller by David Alexander, author of Under Attack, Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon, and other award-winning fiction and acclaimed nonfiction titles.
This global superthriller is based both on author David Alexander's extensive knowledge of strategic military challenges and on his first-hand familiarity with the Pentagon's most closely held secrets. In Snake Handlers he has artfully woven it all into a riveting work of high-concept thriller fiction.
David Alexander is one of those rare authors who can write fiction that has the power to relentlessly carry the reader onward, and who can wield a wit and humor as sharp and cutting as a samurai sword and combine it with in-depth analysis and the deft touch of a master literary stylist.
