Crude by Mike Bond
From the "master of the existential thriller" (BBC) comes "an exhilarating spy novel" (Kirkus Reviews) that blends cinematic geopolitical intrigue, a chilling global threat, and an ending no one will see coming."One of the 21st Century's most exciting authors." - Washington Times
"IN A NUCLEAR ATTACK, FIND SHELTER AT ONCE."
Preceded by a loud beeping sound, this FEMA Presidential Emergency Alert hit every television, radio, and phone. The Doomsday clock was set. There was no time to lose.
The US President is escalating tensions with Russia, dragging the country to the brink of nuclear war. CEO of Rawhide Energy, Ross Bullock, invites members of every prominent news organization in the country for the most important announcement he is ever going make in his life: a warning that we are headed into Armageddon if the administration doesn't pull back.
As the press eats him alive for raising the specter of nuclear annihilation, and putting the President's re-election in jeopardy, Bullock finds out that one of his oil platforms in the South China Sea has been blown to bits, along with hundreds of team members.
Someone is trying to take him down. The question is: is the call coming from inside the house? Or is it a geopolitical adversary that would have more to gain if he was brought down to his knees?
Unfolding across Mongolia, Indonesia, Washington D.C., Wyoming, and Ukraine, Crude is a masterfully written super-thriller that takes us to the door of world annihilation and shows us what's inside.

Biography
Mike Bond The master of the existential thriller (BBC) Best-selling novelist, war and human rights correspondent, environmental activist, award-winning poet and international energy expert,
Mike Bond has lived and worked in many dangerous, remote and war-torn regions of the world. His critically acclaimed novels depict the innate hunger of the human heart for good, the intense joys of love, the terror and fury of battle,
the sinister vagaries of politics and multinational corporations, and the magical beauty of the vanishing natural world. His latest novel, SAVING PARADISE, the epic of a Hawaiian surfer and former Special Forces vet caught up in the murder of a beautiful
Honolulu reporter, has been called the eco-novel of the decade for its depiction of corporate and political corruption and the battle for
Hawaii's remaining paradises. His four previous novels are all based on his experiences in far, dangerous corners of the world: THE LAST SAVANNA: A former British commando battles elephant poachers who then kidnap the woman he loves, in this acclaimed inside
story of Africa's disappearing savannas, animals and freedoms. CROSSFIRE: A British undercover agent fights for his life in Beirut at the height of the Lebanese War -- a deep look into the Middle East's
ancient wars and hatreds. FIRE LIKE THE SUN: An international best-seller about U.S. nuclear warheads lost in the Himalayas, a manhunt through Nepal, Iran,
Greece, Algeria, France, Virginia and Colorado. NIGHT OF THE JAGUAR: Vietnam vet and weed smuggler Joe Murphy loses his plane in a Guatemalan jungle attack, falls in love with
the woman guerrilla who heals him, and fights to protect them both as the death squads hunt them down. Bond has published hundreds of articles on human rights, the environment, international finance, the energy industry, and women's
rights, and appears frequently on TV and radio to discuss these subjects. www.MikeBondBooks.com
