Infos

A century of political, military, and social history come together in a devastating confluence of evil in this panoramic tale woven out of seemingly unconnected people and events. The fictional plot is intricately interwoven with little-known historical facts that make the incredible story frighteningly believable.A treasure hunter in Key West in the 1950s, a helicopter pilot in Vietnam in the 1960s, anti-war activists in the 1970s, eco-warriors in the 1980s, post-cold war subversives, international terrorists, a present-day whitewater river guide, and a burned-out detective from LAPD, form the cast of characters. Frustrated that their "e;revolution"e; never materialized, a cadre of geriatric radicals hatches a plot to blow up hydropower dams in the Pacific Northwest and replicate the great ice-age floods that carved the Columbia River Gorge. They get support through an uneasy alliance between old-line communists, the new incarnation of Russia's KGB, the government of Iran, and a would-be terrorist in Key West who has possession of a cold war era hydrogen bomb.Undetected by Homeland Security, the unfolding plot is uncovered by "e;Swede"e; Larsson, Town Marshal in Riggins, Idaho (population 406), while investigating the seemingly accidental drowning of a young man in the Salmon River. As the scope of the conspiracy becomes apparent, Swede is joined in a desperate race to prevent a cataclysmic flood by his river guide friend Cassidy Pierce and former Vietnam combat pilot Terry Caldwell.
