(PRLeap.com) "The Omega Reprisal", a new book by Shayde Michaels, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.In Shayde Michaels' gripping new political thriller, "The Omega Reprisal", America is shaken to its core. President Denise Wilson is dead, assassinated in a terrorist nuclear attack that obliterated Marine One mid-flight over Maryland, killing more than 30,000 civilians in the blast. The same terrorist group had previously struck Mumbai, slaughtering over a million. The world is reeling.
With the vice presidency left vacant after an untimely heart attack, Speaker of the House John Stockwell, Wilson's political opposite, ascends to the presidency. A staunch conservative, Stockwell now leads a traumatized nation. In a shocking move toward unity, he appoints Secretary of State Blaine Meade, a loyal liberal and Wilson ally, as his vice president. Washington's power elite are thrown into chaos by the unprecedented bipartisan leadership.
The enemy is a shadowy Islamic extremist faction calling itself The Caliphate of Justice. Well-funded and deeply embedded, they stole four suitcase-sized nuclear weapons from Pakistan. Two have already detonated. Two others, intended for Beijing and Moscow, were recovered just in time thanks to a rare moment of global cooperation between the U.S., China, and Russia.
But the war is far from over.
Humiliated by his group's failed plan, the Caliphate's enigmatic leader vows revenge. With help from a North Korean defector, he seeks more nuclear weapons and a second wave of destruction, this time targeting the world's major powers and President Stockwell personally. The U.S., Russia, and China must unite once again to stop him before Reprisal becomes global annihilation.
