Instruments of the State

The Cold War is a fading memory and a New World Order looms. As the Millennium approaches, a gang of power-brokers scheme to control the world's resources. But first they need to convince the American people -- the paymasters of the lone remaining military superpower -- that their security is at risk. Americans need to fear that a new enemy is lurking like none they have ever known. And so they shall. . . A shadowy operative named Vu has been activated for the plan. Decades ago, his family was killed in a napalm attack during the Vietnam War, yet Vu still struggles with his violent past. Now a skilled assassin and a veteran of countless espionage operations, he has a chance at redemption. . . The global drug trade, mind control and the corporate media are all connected as Vu, his underworld associates and the power-brokers work their evil magic. Framed in historical events from Vietnam to the 1983 Invasion of Lebanon to the Gulf War and culminating in the events of 9/11, it's a winner-take-all proposition, and murder and mayhem make for a surprise ending in this epic tale of espionage and suspense.
