Engineering the Enemy

Marcus Declan has become the most pivotal person in the US's global war on terrorism. He has accomplished what every government on the planet has failed to do since 9/11... INFILTRATE AL QEADA!

His story begins in the aftermath of 9/11. A once successful stockbroker whose life is slowly disintegrating, Declan turns to crime to recoup what he has lost following the attacks. What did he lose? MONEY. And lots of it. Now he was about to lose something more... HIS FREEDOM.

Convicted and imprisoned, he encounters the Buffalo Six, the first Al Qeada terrorist cell arrested in the United States. He decides, at that moment, to secretly investigate the Buffalo Six sleeper cell. He wants to decipher the events that have impacted his life and the lives of his countrymen in a way no American has experienced since Pearl Harbor. By means of manipulation and deception, Marcus collects the pieces of the puzzle and learns EVERYTHING!

Armed with this knowledge, Marcus tells only an entrusted jailhouse buddy and his attorney. But Marcus slips up... One of those confidants was a rat! The first rule in jail is keep to your mouth shut – TRUST NO ONE! Someone betrayed him... but who?

Now with Jackmann and Sinsel, the FBI agents who locked him up by his side, Marcus is whisked by plane on a covert operation that will lead him directly into the heart of the Pentagon and face to face with the CIA's most dangerous operative - Charles Lymes. It was obvious the government had a plan.... but Marcus was formulating ONE OF HIS OWN.

Marcus finds himself thrown into the dark world of espionage. The government flinched and exposed their hand - they needed him more than he needed them. Now Marcus had the upper hand. The end game was control.

On the plane Marcus searches his soul. He knows once the plane lands his predicament will change from someone at odds with the world to possibly being its only savior. He is an Al Qeada insider. The next 48 hours will be crucial, but just how crucial only time will tell. GOD HELP US ALL!

I was raised in Buffalo, NY, attending a Catholic grammar and high school. I continued my education at Butler University double majoring in economics and finance. In later life I was sentenced to do time in both Federal and State prisons for crimes committed as a stockbroker. Following my release less than two years ago, I have concentrated on putting the pieces of my life back together. However, the events I witnessed and organized during my time incarcerated were too disturbing to be left inside the prison walls. I had a story to tell. One that I felt the American public had a right to know. From the day I decided to expose the government's incompetence concerning the security of our country, I have been harassed and intimated by the powers that be including the Department of Defense and the FBI. My life and convictions have been placed under a microscope. But ask yourself this: Why is the government is so intimidated with the contents of this novel? Discovery can be a dangerous journey. Are you ready to take the first step?
