This is a thriller in which every chapter heightens the suspense. The subtext is the energy crisis that affects the global economy; the hero is a Bond-like daredevil. The world's economy is faced with a momentous change in direction: the need to reduce, and then abandon, its reliance on fossil fuel energy and adopt alternative sources without resorting to nuclear power. Against this backdrop, the interests of two opposing geopolitical agendas engage in both legal and criminal activities to gain the upper hand. This face-off involves the President of the United States as he is personally committed to transparent, but risky, support of renewable energy technology. The end goal is the overthrow of a century long oil-based culture. The action in this captivating thriller is set in Masonic circles in Washington DC and in major cities around the world. The main characters are clearly delineated in all their egotism, unrestrained sexuality, desire for redemption and love of country. The battlefield is populated by Arab sheiks, Mexican and Colombian drug cartels, the Russian Mafia with Italian associates, Masonic lodges, Washington lobbies, and the secret services. It is in the secret services that we find the hero, an Italian-American daredevil, who first served in the Navy Seals and then in the CIA. The action also includes the confrontation between a renegade pseudo-Freemasonry in Italy and the Craft dedicated to the wellbeing of society. Comparable to an action film script, this thriller is a sharp and dynamic page-turner. | Dc Undercover by Oscar Bartoli, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
