Dangerous Journey: Book One - Hardcover

by Clark Selby (Author)

Dangerous Journey is a story of two friends who set out on an adventure to race their vintage Corvette in the Moscow to Beijing Road Race and end up as the means for Al-Qaeda to make nuclear bombs to destroy ten famous American landmarks and to kill millions of Americans. When nuclear scientists Dr. Chance Taylor and Dr. Charles Brown need a break from their work on America's atomic weapon systems, they soon find themselves with the type of demanding work they were trying to get away from. CIA quirky analyst and theorist, Hank Sollenberger, discovers the terrorist plot, but it seems so farfetched that no one at the CIA will believe him. So, he ventures out on his own to prove that his theory is real and that there is a deadly threat to millions of Americans. The question is can Hank uncover the plot in time to protect America from this threat of nuclear disaster? Or will his superior, Beverly Jenkins, find him and fire him from the CIA first?
