The occasions of Sept 11, 2001, the invasion of Iraq, radical Islamists, an impending showdown with Iran - what do these have as a common factor? Oil. Along with the world is operating out. The Shell Game is far more than a thriller; this is a cautionary tale that exposes another 9/11 event, a deception that will lead to a retaliatory substance weapons strike on Iran and the terrorist elements that the regime helps. Though written as fiction, this novel is filled up with all-too-real details provided by insiders in the oil industry, armed forces, and Middle Eastern affairs, and extrapolates from real occasions of the past and presents a future that will lead us down a course of self-destruction, unless we stop the insanity now. In 2007, two CIA spooks meet with an American colonel in armed forces intelligence. The war is going terribly, and Leader Bush, who steadfastly refuses to back off, remains unchallenged at home as Democrats and Republicans concentrate on the 2008 elections. On the other hand, Iran's pursuit of nuclear energy will produce enriched uranium by 2012 - uranium that might be used to create suitcase nukes. The US government is too drained to invade Iran, and a preemptive strike has gone out of the question; unless, that is, a nuclear detonation were that occurs within an American city - one where the uranium can be traced to Iran. A US reprisal would strike a fatality blow to radical Islam, quell the insurgent violence in Iraq, and produce more oil. Yes, the cost is unthinkable, but doing little or nothing could bring about a dozen suitcase bombs heading off in a dozen American cities, getting anarchy and the collapse of European civilization. December 2011. Ashley "Ace" Futrell is an oil-industry expert committed to Kelli Doyle, a past national security consultant and one of the CIA spooks in the 2007 conference. When Kelli threatens to expose the plot, Ace detects his living hurtling down a rabbit opening of deceit, where the lays of the powerful few may lead to the darkest times of human living and the fatality knell for billions.
