After a failed mission claims the lives of his five man support
team, Stan Tremblay, Callsign: Rook, flees Siberia and finds
himself on the secluded coast of Norway, north of the Arctic
Circle. Exhausted, cut off from the outside world, and emotionally
beaten from his defeat in Russia, Rook just wants to find a place
to rest. The small coastal town of Fenris Kystby seems like the
perfect place. Within hours of arriving, he discovers that the town
is not as tranquil as it appears. The townspeople are mistrustful
of outsiders, a pack of mysterious wolves stalk the local tundra,
and two villagers have been killed by a creature that defies
explanation. To make things worse, there are rumors of something
sinister, something the townspeople refuse to discuss. Despite the
hostility of the locals, Rook commits to stopping the creature
murdering townspeople. As the body count rises, he quickly learns
that the greatest threat might walk on two legs. And when he
uncovers the town's hidden past, Rook knows only one thing for
certain: something is rotten in Norway.
"The planet was smoking" With the first four words, New World
Orders gives a brief, yet terrifying vision of one possible future.
In the nineteen-sixties, a group of wealthy men concludes that it's
already too late to stop global warming from destroying the planet.
But they have a plan to save themselves. Twenty years later, Jack
Crowley and Jim Patterson stumble onto the conspiracy, and every
answer they find is accompanied by more questions - and more
deaths. Jack is a former idealist, turned cynical by his years
working as a New York tabloid editor. But his enthusiasm returns as
he looks into the work of a NASA scientist who tells Jack about
cover-ups at the space agency. Jim is a detective with little
patience for conspiracy nuts. But he hates loose ends, and is
unable to let go of the inconsistencies in another suspicious NASA
death. Soon, his investigation leads him to Jack, and they join
forces. As Jack and Jim dig deeper, they are targeted by the type
of killers that don't usually miss. From Washington to Las Vegas to
the Middle East, they manage to stay one step ahead of their
pursuers in a race to expose the truth, and maybe, just maybe, save
the world.
