KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 22, 2009 — America’s greatest fears become reality in John Davis’ “Prussian Blue,” published by iUniverse. The novel is set in the near future as President Barack Obama begins the withdrawal of American military troops from the Middle East, however, tragedy strikes and threats of WWIII put the country’s safety at risk.
It is October 2010 and the withdrawal of American forces is well underway when radical Islamic groups from Iran and Saudi Arabia destroy a United States Navy battle group while steaming into the Persian Gulf. After declaring this assault an unprovoked “act of aggression,” the President orders the redeployment of soldiers, ships and supplies, but shortly thereafter, the priorities change when the United States is attacked. Determined to cripple America’s government, financial markets and infrastructure, the terrorists have devised an evil plan to drive Americans inland and our once great and prosperous nation into obscurity.
“Prussian Blue” follows Dr. Rex Bent’s suspicion of an Islamic group’s relation to sick Asian sailors found near Texas and Louisiana. Dr. Bent relays his theories to government agencies, but is soon framed by the terrorists and labeled a traitor. On the run from the American government, Dr. Bent and his wife stumble upon the radical group’s central base in Whiskey Bay, Louisiana. The Bents realize that America’s survival depends on their actions.
Complacency is a result of preoccupation, and with America’s focus on national political topics, “Prussian Blue” hits close to home. Davis incorporates his expertise in healthcare as a catalyst for Bent’s discovery of the terrorists’ plans. The author utilizes the recent political climate along with his military and travel experience to amplify the suspense. For more information, please visit http://www.prussianbluenovel.com.
