Green Haze Book Jacket

James Bond he ain't.

Pierce Brosnan		Sean Connery James Bond 007		Roger Moore

Ian Fleming's James Bond creation is the envy of any writer. The excitement and action of the Bond books and movies are unparalleled.

Reporter, Roy Garrison is "Joe Average" trapped in extraordinary circumstances. The Bond types are in the upper governmental levels in Green Haze. Garrison gets a phone call. Something dreadful has happened in the desert and he heads north from Los Angeles.

Beware of accidents in the desert

Nina and Sam Peters are tourists from Iowa, stealing moments away in Florida. Sam is a photographer and snaps pictures of a bridge in St. Augustine. There are important people on the bridge who don't like being photographed.

St. Augustine from the bridge

Once caught in the snare Sam and Nina, like Garrison, can't escape the tentacles of the intelligence operation.

Clancy's the best

Tom Clancy

Tom Clancy's settings and characters are both detailed and believable. The technical aspects of his work provides an uncanny realism. His plots sizzle, bob and weave, and keep us wanting more. He is unmatched.

Green Haze is loaded with action, but suspense is a key element. Average people are drawn into something beyond their control. Having a character always looking over his or her shoulder is unnerving. Dr. Richard Kimble in The Fugitive is thrust into a life on the run.

The Fugitive,
starring David Jansen

Green Haze is Dr. Kimble with an international flair.

The U.S. should increase its material and financial assistance for African conflict resolution to match its declared commitment to that goal. This assistance should come out of the defense budget-not out of funding for long-term development programs and humanitarian relief in Africa. American support for African conflict resolution should not be used as an excuse for the U.S. to avoid direct involvement in efforts to resolve African conflicts. The U.S. should play a leading role in African peacekeeping operations and other conflict resolution activities. The U.S. should increase the level of funding for assistance programs, especially multilateral ones, that are aimed at promoting democracy and equitable economic development in African countries. This will help Africans address the underlying causes of conflict, which will help prevent or reduce the eruption of violence and humanitarian crises.

For humanity fate is a mystery. In Camus' The Stranger Meursault senses the absurdity of what cannot be known.
