Life in the United States since 9/11 has changed
dramatically. The country is regularly on high alert and
finally agencies are working together to share information
to fight terrorism. Still, when terrorists strike again,
not New York City or Washington D.C. but the heartland, the
United States is once more paralyzed in the aftermath.
Newly elected President David Venable is struggling with
the chaos that results from the terrorist attacks, as well
as developing a plan for seeking out the culprits, all with
no sleep. The lack of sleep is definitely affecting his
decision-making abilities. Vice President Elizabeth Beecham
is concerned about Venable's state of mind and begins to
question his ability to be commander-in-chief. Decisions
and plans need to be made quickly and decisively, and
Venable may not be up to the task.
FBI special agent and dedicated family man Jeremy Waller is
assigned the unenviable job of covertly penetrating the
terrorist network, creating a fake identity and tracking
down the culprits who not only shot down several planes,
but also bombed key tourist attractions, such as the Mall
of America and Disneyland. Infiltrating the Phineas
Priesthood, an element of the Christian Identity Movement,
Waller is thrust into the middle of the intrigue, which not
only appears to have an Islamic connection, but also on the
surface has a domestic extremist connection. As Waller
discovers, the domestic connection may lead right up to the
Oval Office.
WHITE is a fast-paced and plot-driven intrigue that
requires the reader to not only pay attention to the vast
number of government organizations and acronyms, but also
to the array of characters who may not be exactly what they
appear. Whitcomb, who utilizes his previous knowledge as an
FBI agent to incorporate a strong sense of realism and
tension, propels readers on a roller coaster ride that does
not disappoint to shock and alarm.
"On an anti-terror black op in Indonesia, FBI special agent
Jeremy Waller sees something he never expected: six
terrorists are arrested, but three of them are clearly
good-old-boy Americans. Even more confusing is the CIA's
response to their capture: immediate execution, without
interrogation. Back in New York, at the headquarters of
telecommunications giant Borders Atlantic, all hell has
broken loose: the ultrasecure encryption of the Quantis
cellular phone system has been cracked - but by whom? And
just when things couldn't get worse, there is a series of
coordinated terrorist bombings at Disneyland, at the Mall of
America, and in Atlanta's Buckhead region." When signs of a
dark alliance between American extremists and Islamic
terrorists emerge, Waller knows that there is only one way
to destroy it: by going undercover. But when the trail leads
to the Oval Office itself, Jeremy is faced with the most
difficult choices of his life.
