Her collaborator - and sometimes lover - is Boyce Hammond, a down-at-heel FBI agent who's been undercover so long he's forgotten where his loyalties lie. Smukowski, Hammond and their squad of American terrorists - the so-called Ethan Allen Brigade - seize a shipment of Indonesian nuclear waste, intending to make a radiological `dirty bomb' for an attack that will inflame the Islamic world. But just as Hammond begins to fear the group he has infiltrated might pull off their insane scheme, the stolen shipment is snatched from them by a group of extremist every bit as dangerous - and now America itself is the target. Packed with breathtaking action scenes, political insight and unforgettable characters, Shock and Awe turns the terrorist novel on its head: a subversive action thriller for a new era.

<p>1969. Southern California.\nFor fifteen-year-old Rick Leibnitz, the whole world is on the horizon —just out of reach. Abandoned by his mother to the care of his abusive father, he quashes his dreams in favor of survival. But when an attempt to protect a friend goes wrong, Rick lands in juvie. When he emerges from his incarceration, he finds an unlikely ally.\nFree spirited teenager Lincoln Ellard is on a mission to expand the minds of all he meets. When the discovery of a dirty secret gives Rick the leverage he needs to leave his childhood home for good, Linc offers him a new path. A small drug supply goes a long way to providing the boys with the means for sex, psychedelics, music, philosophy, and friendship.\nBut even as the steady stream of free love and mind-altering experiences opens their eyes to new perspectives, Rick and Linc remain blind to the dangers of their trade. Until it’s too late.\nWith their teenage dreams in tatters, history looks set to repeat itself — unless Rick can find freedom in starting over.\nClick ‘buy now’ to start reading A Map of the Edge today!</p>
