In March 1989, two scientists at the University of Utah announced they had created a cold fusion reaction. The public is thrilled at the prospect of a planet no longer powered by oil! When the success could not be duplicated, a collective finger of condemnation is pointed -- but was it pointed in the right direction? Decades later we meet Dr. James Sovereign, a respected oceanographic engineer with a mysterious past. Mindful of his late father's lessons, dubbed The Sovereign Principles, Jim is living his dream, building the first viable city under the sea. All is right with his world except for one thing: His kids hate him. While dealing with this reality, Jim is unwittingly thrust into a war over the world's future. Searching for answers while dodging bullets, he discovers a treasure of incalculable value buried in the Pacific Ocean. Advantage: Sovereign. But then the assassin turns his sights on Jim's family. Big mistake. Calling on the skills from a past few know about, Jim plans to violently invoke the Sovereigns' preeminent principle: No one messes with family! But will he really sacrifice the world's future to save his kids? This fascinating and multi-layered thriller torn from the headlines will keep you on the edge of your seat, demanding justice for the good and the evil. About the Author: Douglas McAllister lives with his wife and children in Murrieta, California. He is currently working on the Sovereign series' second installment, The Sovereign Politic.
