If you're a fan of fast-paced high-concept action thrillers - Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, Matthew Reilly - you'll love this. Phase Four is part techno thriller, part adventure story, part conspiracy theory - and all action all the way. When a classified military convoy transporting nerve gas is hijacked in the Nevada desert by a group of Middle Eastern terrorists, Homeland Security investigator Matthew Drake is assigned to put the suspects under surveillance. But when the gas is released inside a luxury high-rise hotel in an apparent attempt to assassinate the President, Drake realizes - too late - that the hijackers weren't terrorists, the convoy wasn't carrying nerve gas, and something is very wrong in Washington D.C. Now mobs are rioting in the Bay Area and panic is spreading across California at a frightening speed, threatening to engulf the entire country. On the run with disgraced CIA surveillance technician Gena Hahn, Drake struggles to contain a sinister plan to achieve total control over the human mind. "Government conspiracy, political intrigue, action, thrills, and psychedelic horror - this book has a little tantalizing piece of everything." - The Troubled Scribe
