Terror Within

About the Book

A bold satire mixed with a good bit of irony, this wise, gritty and wonderfully entertaining debut marks a savvy new voice in science fiction literature. When it comes to Terror Within, by Roger Marshall, a case of accidental terrorism has the American government on high alert, not to mention the lives of a group of affable and unsuspecting strangers on the brink of being compromised—forever.

Nate, Sandra, Harland, Rita, and Gabe barely know each other. With strange links to an article Gabe is researching on retirement planning, the fractious group becomes enmeshed in an act of bio-terrorism that will have them on the run from their own government and forced to seek asylum in Argentina. Why would the government chase a group of complete strangers? Together, they unwittingly possess information about Project M.I.X., a top-secret program rooted in the history of the Marshall Islands—information that will alter the future of mankind.

Most recently he serves as the Managing Director of Ariba Asset Managent in charge of fixed-income services. Curently living in Maryland, Roger is focusing his efforts on Green and humane causes. Specifically, he believes that we- as the only species capable of changing the planets- have a responsibility to not harm the planet and in fact undo what harm we may have already done. We owe this to all inhabitants of this planets, both present and future. As a vegetarian Roger believes that killing is wrong unless it achieves a greater good. He believes that if people actually had to butcher their own food many people would choose to be vegetarians. It is the de-humanization of the process that allows many to pretend that the suffering that occurs isn't really happening.
