HE HAS ONLY ON TO COMMIT THE ULTIMATE ASSASSINATION....THE COUNTDOWN HAS STARTED....
Colonius began by capitalizing on the public dread of assassination and skyjacking, sending pictures of himself standing near important figures he could easily have killed had he chosen to.
"The trouble with assassination is that most of the interest and sympathy goes to the victim, while the assassin winds up a mere footnote to history. I had to do better than that."
That was how Lars Colonius started his journal. Then he went and bought a Brownie camera, a Wollensak tape recorder, a splicing board, a fishing vest and some plastic explosive. That was all he needed to hold the world to ransom...
"You know, if they'd had to live in my time. Henry Ford and the Wright Brothers would still be running bicycle shops, Thomas Edison selling newspapers, and Marconi, I guess, working in a barbershop. Because the way things are these days, there's no room left for the brilliant oddball, the aggressive loner, or the self-taught genius. And those guys would've been just as unsuccessful and unknown as I am."
Compelling, shocking, ingenious and with a pace that never flags, The Voice of Armageddon will keep you guessing until the final devastating chapter.
