New Book for Review: Suspense Thriller ‘The 19th Element’ by John Betcher

The 19th Element John Betcher will be touring in November and December ‘10 with his suspense/thriller novel, The 19th Element: A James Becker Thriller. Al Qaeda plans to attack Minnesota’s Prairie River Nuclear Power Plant as a means to return the down-trodden terrorist organization to international prominence. In addition to their own devoted forces, the terrorists enlist some homegrown anarchists, and a Three Mile Island survivor with a pathological vendetta against the nuclear establishment, to assist in the assault. James “Beck” Becker is a former elite U.S. government intelligence operative who has retired to his childhood hometown of Red Wing, Minnesota – just six miles down the Mississippi from the Prairie River nuclear facility. Possessing wisdom born of experience, Beck suspects the terrorists’ intentions as soon as the body of a university professor turns up on the Mississippi shore – the clear victim of foul play. He recognizes connections between seemingly unrelated incidents – the murdered agronomy professor, a missing lab assistant, an international cell call, a stolen fertilizer truck – but can’t piece it together in enough detail to convince government authorities that a larger threat exists.  Only his American Indian friend, “Bull,” will help Beck defuse the threat. So it’s Beck and Bull versus international terror. May the better men win.

    This book is so good. I was lucky enough to read a proof copy and absolutely loved it. If you get the chance to read and review and have John visit your blog, jump at the opportunity. His books are truly current and in my review I called it “scary good.”
