The man: Billionaire Ken Karasik didn’t get rich entirely by legitimate means. Born in Communist-controlled Bosnia, Karasik has devoted his life to securing freedom for the Slavs in the Balkans, at any price.
The trigger: When Slobodan Milosevic kills Karasik’s family and Ivan Maslac resumes ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, Karasik and his powerful Commission set in motion the deadliest terror attack the world has ever seen.
The weapon: Tainted drugs unleashed in a terrifying attack on those most in need of help; thousands may die before anyone even knows an attack has begun and there is no cure.
The irony: Pharmaceutical giant PharmCorp has the same plan; with loyalty to no one, its goal is to protect billions of profit.
The investigators and the traitor: If the FBI’s Barry Weiner and his sexy new paramour, investigator Francine Pye, can’t stop them, maybe the mysterious Judas will—if he doesn’t join them first.
Murder. Intrigue. Politics. Polemics: The story takes us from Washington, D.C. to New York to London, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Kumming, Guadalajara and beyond as the Karasik Commission, PharmCorp, Alexa and billionaire smuggler Faisal Ayoub seek revenge and execute their lethal plans on a global scale.
An all-too-realistic and profoundly disturbing exposé on geopolitics, corporate ethics and an unstoppable time bomb just waiting to explode!
The Karasik Conspiracy: “A prescription for terrorism”
Julie Chrystyn was born on a farm in a rural part of the former Yugoslavia, under its Communist regime. She was granted political asylum in the United States at the age of eight. At the age of twelve, she was diagnosed with severe scoliosis (curvature of the spine) for which she underwent radical surgery and spent a year on her bed in a full body cast. During that year, she mapped out the entire course of her life—and then proceeded to live it. She rejected the prognosis of lower-body paralysis and rejected the social and economic hardships of her family; she stubbornly defied all odds and worked toward her goals with a vengeance. Julie pursued an education in journalism, political science, and economics and eventually became a leading ghostwriter for some of the world's leading political figures and business tycoons. She ventured into business and philanthropy, and she married Dwight D. Opperman, one of the most prominent figures in America's legal world.
