"...Bramson's attention was drawn more to the brightly-glowing red, gold, and yellow-to-pure-white halo-effect that radiated from each of the containers. Eight other canisters, stored nearby, radiated less in cooler blue-greens, with splotches of red and gold meshing about. They almost seemed alive."

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID...

"Craig O. Thompson's OMAR forecasts tomorrow's headlines. The proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, materials, and know-how is the number one national security threat to the United States. This well-researched fiction is a timely window into potential disasters for unprepared nations."

U.S. Senator, Richard G. Lugar
Member, Select Intelligence Committee
and Foreign Relations Committe

"Given the terrorist threats both to our homeland and to our citizens abroad...this deep ocean adventure thriller could not be more timely."

Henry H. Shelton,
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (Retired)

"(Omar) provides an interesting depiction and a realistic account of activities that readers will enjoy."

Thomas E. White,
Secretary of the Army

"....I found that this book really stayed with me....The fact that (Thompson) predicted such terrorist attacks gives (him) legitimacy as an expert, and the way that (he) wove the facts with the
narrative only added to it."

Jeffrey Marks,
Writer's Digest


"....Thompson is an authority on terrorism and uses his knowledge to add a frightening, in-the-headlines sense of reality."

Rich Gotshall,

"...a novel that reads extremely well...marvelous climax ...bravo!"

 Robert Gover,
New York Times Bestselling Author
"One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding"

}

"Undersea salvage, the wreck of the Titanic, and diabolical terrorists bent on nothing less than total destruction of the western world collide on a stage of global proportions in this page turning action adventure from newcomer, Craig O. Thompson....Written before the 9/11 attacks, this book is chillingly accurate in its depictions of terrorists, their actions, plots, beliefs and ruthlessness. Thompson's writing is top caliber, immediately putting him on a square playing field with the genre's top purveyors. The detail, put into the technology and background, is woven seamlessly with the narrative that lends it credibility and adds to the plot, without bogging the reader down with incessant techno-babble and vague concepts. An extremely engaging read that firmly establishes an exciting newcomer in the genre."
