J. Caniglia "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." Senator
Richard G. Lugar Author-speaker
and anti-terrorism expert/consultant,
Craig O. Thompson, just wanted to write an
action-adventure thriller. Years of
research and study about terrorism and
"NBCRW"--Nuclear, Biological and Chemical
Warfare--made him the expert. But the more
he learned, the more the subject began to
alarm and startle him. He
thought about his loved ones and our
compromised national security as he
realized there is a utter lack of any
educational program that could help
prepare American citizens for an NBCRW
attack. And Thompson, the novelist and
keynote speaker, has been on a crusade to
inform the public ever
since. Why?
The current position of virtually every
respected think-tank in America parallels
the premise of Thompson's suspense
thriller, "OMAR: A Novel." The question is
not IF NBCRW attacks will happen on
our homeland...the question is only
WHEN. Published
by StrataGem Press™, an imprint of
Brightwater Publishing Company™,
Indianapolis, and based on historical
fact, "OMAR" (624 pgs; August, 2001) is a
literary novel of suspense, intrigue,
greed, pride, and world
politics. Shortly
after the beginning of the Twentieth
Century, two men--a London antiquarian
book dealer, and the acclaimed bookbinder
and illuminator to His Majesty the
King--commissioned and created "the most
magnificent bookbinding in the world."
While enroute aboard an ocean liner, to
its new American owner, the ship foundered
and sank. Eighty-three years later, the
binding--worth well over $30 million if
found--becomes the object of an underwater
race. Terrorists, mercenary divers, and
the U.S. government rush for the ship's
site in a chase that could change the face
of world politics...and strike fear in the
heart of every democratic
nation. Thompson's
new work is so real that it led U.S.
Senator Richard G. Lugar to comment,
"OMAR forecasts tomorrow's
headlines....This well-researched fiction
is a timely window into potential
disasters for unprepared nations." Senator
Lugar resides on the Senate's Select
Committee on Intelligence. He was
responsible, as a co-author, for
introducing, writing, and passing the
Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Act on domestic
preparedness for terrorism employing
weapons of mass
destruction. Thompson
holds a B.S. and M.A. in Education from
Northern Arizona University. He is a
member of the International Association of
Counterterrorism and Security
Professionals. As a marketing and
advertising professional, and arts
management consultant, he has been writing
for over 25 years. Currently, Thompson is
working on two new novels, a non-fiction
work on terrorism, and the adaptation of a
screenplay. As a
member of the National Speaker's
Association and International Platform
Association, he was also published in an
anthology titled "Star Spangled Speakers.
