Unintended
Consequences – a Peter Savage Novel is the first in a series of fictional
adventures written by author Dave Edlund.
Abiogenic petroleum scientists are on the verge of producing oil from
inorganic materials like rocks and minerals.
This scientific breakthrough could bring energy independence to the
world and change the course of humanity.
What a celebration that should be!
However, could synthetic oil production be a catalyst to World War
III? Could OPEC nations – the cartel -
be threatened by discoveries that would free mankind from oil enslavement? Is there an international conspiracy to kill
innocent researchers to deprive society of their knowledge? A trail of assassinations from London to
Alaska and now Bend, Oregon says “yes” to these questions.
Prominent petroleum researchers and scientists have died in
the last eighteen months. A London
Professor was killed in his hotel room.
An explosion at a petroleum conference in Caracas, Venezuela has claimed
the lives of forty-five people. The
deaths keep increasing. Professor Ian
Savage is the leading scientist at Oregon State University. He and his colleague, Professor Sato from
Tokyo Japan, are both under attack but they cannot fathom why. They are close to the breakthrough they need
to prove their theories. This will also
show the world how to produce synthetic oil from inorganic material. Peter Savage is Ian’s son and a weapons
expert. Peter will need the most
sophisticated guns he can produce to keep his father safe as he goes about his
life work. The United States Special
Forces are also watching over Professor Savage’s lab. They want to stop the violent attacks against
Europe, Japan, and now the United States.
The violence escalates with each new discovery the scientists make. Top-secret operations are ready to deploy on
the enemy and Peter will stop at nothing to protect his father and his
family. This riveting adventure unfolds
on a world stage across the United States to the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela
and even to Moscow.
Author, Dave Edlund, has created a compelling, five-star novel filled
with intrigue and mystery. Unintended Consequences is written in
third person narrative and a book that is difficult to put down. There are a
few minor editing issues but they do not take away from this great story. An expert in fuel reform products, Dave
Edlund presents the idea that synthetic oil production could soon threaten the
economies of oil-rich nations. In
retaliation those nations will kill to stop society’s progress. A world war could ensue. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat
anticipating the laws of “unintended consequences” that energy independence,
terrorist attacks, and conspiracies, could leave in their wake. There are visible consequences and there are
unseen consequences that Peter Savage doesn’t like, so, the story won’t stop
here. The next Peter Savage novel, The Devil of Darfur will be available
soon.
