Action, adventure, romance, mystery, suspense The politics of
nuclear power - played out at the highest levels of the United
States government - combined with an angry man's search for
redemption, make The Kingfishers a story as new as today's
headlines and as old as Eden. Tommy Sawyer's new job in Washington
provides him with a first-hand view of the dangerous corruption
among the politicians and businesspeople charged with producing the
nation's nuclear energy. When he tries to expose it, the situation
escalates - thousands of people are at risk of annihilation, and
millions more suffer from the "fallout." Against this backdrop,
Tommy encounters the woman who walked out on him twenty years
earlier. His struggle to come to terms with the rage that has
consumed him ever since, and the possibility that they might
reconcile, add an intensely personal note to a cautionary tale
about "power" in our nation's capital.
