THE CODEA NOVEL BY JAY CURTISCLASSIFICATION: Contemporary Action-Adventure Science Fiction, with as much science as fiction involved. The novel is as much an action-adventure story as it is science fiction and involves romance. It is not at all typical science fiction, but rather a projection of science, intelligence reports and rumors, and religious precepts and teachings to a logical, but yet novel, conclusion. The novel would also fit in the genre of a mild thriller.SYNOPSIS: FACTUAL BACKGROUND: The novel is based on weaving several very interesting factual premises, military intelligence rumors, historical legends, and religious precepts and teachings, all of which are pushed to a logical but extreme conclusion in developing the story.1. In 1997, Michael Drosnin, an investigative reporter, wrote The Bible Code, a nonfiction account of the work of cryptographers and other scientists who put modern computer decryption technology to the task of deciphering a purported hidden code in the Torah, which reveals everything about the future of everyone. Although it has its critics and detractors, the book and the work it details are both credible, if not indisputable, and startling, if not downright frightening. The concept of such hidden predictions was one Sir Isaac Newton spent most of his life devoted to unraveling, but he failed at what he believed was his true, God-given mission in life. Only the advent of the modern computer with its light speed calculations made it possible to

Posing as recreational birders, a group of former U.S. Special Forces enter Mexico to capture and extricate six Mexican fugitives who murdered six innocent citizens in Santa Barbara then fled to Mexico with impunity, untouchable ...until now.

Highly experienced in reconnaissance and stealth the undercover operatives rely on spy craft and cunning to track the FTM fugitives into the most unforgiving locations for challenging extractions, defying all odds of detection. Their modus operandi mantra: If no one knew you were there, then it didn't happen.

A conspiracy is uncovered between the Vatican and the Mexican government which threatens U.S. border security resulting in a familial Federal Police Investigator's brutal murder coldly avenged at the highest level of legal authority. Amazing assortments of birds play more than a fly on role in this original, action packed adventure.

(This story was inspired by true events.)

Dave Jackson, an Air Force captain and trained pilot, is left wondering what to do when he suffers a serious injury and is told he can no longer fly high-performance aircraft. But then he's visited by a military intelligence officer who tells him his career doesn't have to end.

Soon, Jackson finds himself in Kirkuk, Iraq, which is no sleepy Kurdish village but a vibrant city. There, he meets a cast of shadowy figures pushing for Kurdistan independence, and he considers who might be potential partners for the United States.

There are many factors to consider, however, especially with the surrounding governments of Iran, Turkey and Syria all having substantial Kurdish populations of their own. If a Kurdish homeland is extracted from Iraq, it could lead to a violent insurgency in other countries and contribute to added violence instead of creating stability.

It all amounts to an explosive situation in which one lone American can change the face of world politics. But Jackson may just die in the process as he seeks to create a place on the map for Kurdistan.

In the meantime Colonel Duc Toe escapes.

In 1975 Jake returns to Saigon on a special ops mission to recover stolen gold reserves. During his return Jake falls in love with Deanna Templeton, an embassy administrative assistant. She helps Jake find out his brother's death was no accident, and was covered up by the military. The mystery further leads Jake to discover a drug pipeline between Colonel Duc Toe, military and embassy officials in Saigon and, on the home front, the anti-war movement and the New York mob.

As North Vietnam undertakes the final invasion of South Vietnam, Jake races against time to help his friends escape and serve final justice to those responsible for espionage, treason and murder.
