Outskirts Press Announces Peaceful Endings: The NOPOSAM Project, the New Highly-Anticipated Thriller Book from Coventry, RI Author Michael K. Tucker
Coventry, RI, August 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Embedded microchip nanotechnology has quickly become as controversial a topic as stem cell research involving both a volatile and emotional debate amongst global corporate planners and consumer privacy advocates. Techno-thriller Peaceful Endings: The NOPOSAM Project spans two and a half days in Rhode Island, where this emerging technology collides with faulty government ethics, gone astray.
Defenders of embedded microchip retail tracking systems cite the benefits of using these tiny transmitters in their efforts to reduce counterfeit merchandising, consumer theft and monitoring consumer preferences. Medical proponents have taken it a step further by advocating for Radio Frequency Identification—the process of imbedding a microchip under the skin of patients so that their personal and medical information can be accessed instantly if a critical health crisis emerges.
But what if this very real and ever-expanding technology fell into the wrong hands and was used for more sinister purposes? Peaceful Endings: The NOPOSAM Project, proposes just that scenario and takes microchips and nanotechnology to a surreal and startling new level. When Coventry General Hospital overflows with patients dying from seemingly minor injuries, trauma specialist, Dr. Marilynn Harwell, determines to find the antidote. Her chance meeting with Doug Talbot, television cameraman for Channel 16, entwines the two in a race against time, as a man with his own agenda, General Thomas Uxbridge, head of the SIA, puts the two under suspicion and threatens their very lives, culminating in two startling and electrifying endings.
