"As if in a sepulchral reproduction of The Last Judgement ...the good and the wicked, the impoverished and greedy, the sheep and the goats, those who had faith and those who would find faith, gave way to the archangel's weighing of souls as the devil watched on. And their souls passed, ironically, not through a molten river, but through the frigid waters of the North Atlantic."

From the Thriller Novel OMAR by Craig O. Thompson

A Frighteningly Credible, Riveting Novel!

Written by author, Craig O. Thompson--a nationally recognized expert on terrorism--and based on historical fact, OMAR is a literary novel of suspense and intrigue. Excessive greed, pride, world politics--and the sacrificing of values to accomplish greater ends--compete with the very real possibility of nuclear, biological and chemical terrorism's arrival on democratic shores. In OMAR -A Novel, truth and myth come together to chronicle a triadic underwater race of epic proportions.

In 1910, two men--an antiquarian book dealer and the acclaimed bookbinder and illuminator to His Majesty the King--created "the most magnificent bookbinding in the world." Eighty-three years later, the binding was the object of a dangerous race that could change the face of world politics...and strike fear in the heart of every democratic nation.

In 1995, the priceless book lay buried hundreds of miles out from the Grand Banks of New Foundland, at 2077 fathoms from the surface of the North Atlantic Ice Barrier.

Two deep-sea diving teams plot to recover the early-20th Century sunken treasure--known as The Great Omar. A group of mercenary divers, hired by a billionaire to locate the treasure, compete against an ultra-zealous terrorist organization that has formed an unholy alliance with other venturists. The jewel-encrusted, "quarto-version" binding of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, if found aboard the Titanic, would be worth well over $30 million--a fortune to support the whims of a billionaire, or to carry out terrorist plots.

The circumstances set off a web of international intrigue, so frightening, that CIA's Colonel Bramson and FBI's decorated agent Jennifer Nakamura were jointly assigned to the project.

Dr. Cary Parker, Woods Hole oceanographer, was unwillingly employed to beat both teams to the ship's gravesite. Parker, the scientist, had to choose between his belief that such "gravesite" treasures should be left untouched-- versus the mercenary beliefs of divers who would sell their souls to recover them.

Having already faced death straight-on, at two and a half miles below sea-level, Parker was forced to decide whether the cause was just another CIA misadventure--or a truly dangerous time for democratic nations.
