From USA Today Bestselling Author, David E. Stevens!A man and woman stand on a South American cliff top overlooking the Atlantic. The muted sound of surf rises from below as they hold hands and gaze across the ocean. Silhouetted by the setting sun, hair tousled by a tropical breeze, it would be remarkably romantic ... if not for the end of the world. "The tissue sample appears to contain a complete human genome ... but it's missing half of the normal DNA." The aircraft carrier INS Vishal's catapult launched Commander Mammen's Rafale fighter as the lead aircraft of the strike group. As he flipped on the Master Arm switch, the missile launch button was live, and with it, the ability to start World War III with his thumb.A true story ... we hope never happens. A portion of all profits will be donated to non-profits working to protect humanity.>>>IMAGINE is the second book of the Fuzed Trilogy.Scroll Up and Grab Your Copy Today!
