The Thor Conspiracy
In the not-so-distant future, Andy Moss, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intern, discovers documents that implicate the U.S. government, now controlled by a fascist version of the EPA, in a massive political cover-up involving a nuclear testing project called THOR. Moss is killed by the authorities, but not before he turns the THOR documents over to his supervisor, Dale Crawford. As Crawford rushes against time to get the documents into the right hands, he encounters a country deeply divided by the restrictive policies of a corrupt political regime. Although the thinly drawn characters are mostly caricatures of particular political opinions, Burkett's (The Illuminati, Nelson, 1992) novel is filled with the fast-faced action, suspense, and intrigue of a Clancy thriller.
