Global Reset: A Suspense Novel

Watch out for my debut novel, Global Reset, available in January '08 through all major on-line booksellers including amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Borders and AuthorHouse.com!

Is it possible that one single individual could ultimately determine the fate of our increasingly fragile planet? Explosive population growth, a dramatic shift in the global economic equilibrium, accelerating technology advancements, global warming, and escalating political, cultural and religious tensions all contribute to making this world gradually more volatile. Could these terrifying and complex issues spark a catastrophic event that would set us back 200 years or more? Is it possible that the United States, perhaps even the White House, could somehow be the catalyst for such a horrifying apocalypse?

I explore this chilling scenario in my debut fiction thriller, Global Reset. A software entrepreneur, Peter Walker, is unknowingly drawn into a treacherous maze lined with murders, terrorism and high-tech sabotage, but does not realize he is nothing but a pawn in much bigger plot designed to destabilize the world. He soon becomes the target of assassins and ultimately the entire U.S. government and, while desperately fighting to stay alive, travels the globe in an attempt to unravel the intricate web he finds himself trapped in. In the end, it is left to Peter to avert the imminent global Armageddon.

Inspiration for the book came from my many travels and provides the reader with a suspenseful and entertaining yet thought-provoking and interesting story. The exciting plot is set in a backdrop of current global issues, domestic politics and high technology. Global Reset is a fast-paced suspense novel that takes the reader on an electrifying journey filled with surprising twists and turns to every corner of the world.

If you like suspense novels and fiction thrillers I think you'll want to read Global Reset.

My web site www.nickraybourne.com will be coming soon and is meant to be primarily for disseminating information. The purpose of this blog, however, is to provide a forum where I, along with a few guest authors, will be exploring issues and events related to my novel in what I hope will be an interesting and provoking manner. The blog is meant to be a two-way conversation with you, my readers, where we'll explore a wide range of topics. I expect and hope we'll disagree on many issues, which is the way it should be and what will spice up this blog. I encourage you to make comments to the blog and I will do my best to answer you in a timely and thoughtful manner.

I hope you enjoy the book and look forward to hearing what you think!

So, Nick, old buddy -- the book is definitely Global and we've been to a
few of those places together in pursuit of your day job. What's
refreshing is that these places are obviously described by someone who
has been there and done that, which is quite a bit different from the
folks who sit around with a map and guidebook writing about places they
haven't been within 1,000 miles of (although I do have to quibble that I
am pretty sure there is no such town as [whatever the name you used was]
in the vinyards above Lausanne.) The airplane thing at the end is
definitely exciting but you are sure to get obnoxious objections from
old military pilots. For the sequel, start by Googling AWAX.

Hi Nick,
Enjoyed your commentary on our daily lives and unhealthiness. You really do have some great advice! Just wanted to add one thing which in my opinion is extremely important: Everything in moderation. Here in the US, we have too many people exaggerating, from working-out and exercising too much, to eating too much. Those who choose the healthy lifestyle and abuse their bodies by exercising in an extreme way will also pay the price by shortening their lifespan and suffering many pains associated with the same.

To conclude, let's agree that a couple of drinks is fine, smaller portions are good, and the right amount of exercise for your age, sex, and way of life are needed. Too many in this country seem to not know how to be moderate.
