How Vulnerable Are We to Global Terrorism? The Truth Will Shock You.

San Francisco, CA, October 30, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Author Andrew Rafkin relies on his grueling experiences during the Vietnam War and his entrepreneurial success in the field of security systems in his novel Creating Madness, the first installment of an exciting new action series that tackles the major concerns of a post-9/11 world. Unlike the competition, Creating Madness resounds with authority and demonstrates how everyday people in the private sector can join the fight against global terrorism.

Andre Petrov, a successful security company executive, forms the Oceans Reconnaissance Commission and Associates (O.R.C.A.) to provide coastal and port protection against global terrorism, drug trafficking, and environmental issues. Retired Navy SEAL Commander “Reef” Johansson and the beautiful Alexis Mikos, a former Greek Secret Service agent, along with a handpicked group of security and computer specialists, lead O.R.C.A. against the terrorists. Using cutting-edge ballistics technology and specially designed and powerful Orca boats, they attempt to foil a diabolical terrorist plot funded and contrived by a vengeance-seeking North Korean family and a wealthy Iranian mullah.

Creating Madness is not just a novel. Scenarios similar to those found within could really happen—if not today, than tomorrow or even a year from now. “Creating Madness exposes just how vulnerable we are,” Rafkin says, “and how our government’s layered bureaucracy is truly ineffective.” Rafkin’s work just may be the wake up call America needs to become better prepared to fight the war on terror.

Creating Madness is the first installment in a bold new series. Look for Rafkin’s next book, Mediterranean Madness, coming soon from Outskirts Press.
