Description

Action, adventure, romance, mystery, suspense The politics of nuclear power - played out at the highest levels of the United States government - combined with an angry man's search for redemption, make The Kingfishers a story as new as today's headlines and as old as Eden. Tommy Sawyer's new job in Washington provides him with a first-hand view of the dangerous corruption among the politicians and businesspeople charged with producing the nation's nuclear energy. When he tries to expose it, the situation escalates - thousands of people are at risk of annihilation, and millions more suffer from the "fallout." Against this backdrop, Tommy encounters the woman who walked out on him twenty years earlier. His struggle to come to terms with the rage that has consumed him ever since, and the possibility that they might reconcile, add an intensely personal note to a cautionary tale about "power" in our nation's capital.

Author Biography:

ALAN THOMPSON Born in Danville, Kentucky, on January 31, 1949, Mr. Thompson grew up in his beloved Chapel Hill, North Carolina. A 1966 graduate of Chapel Hill High School, he received his B.A. from the University of Kentucky in 1970, and his J.D. from the same institution in 1973. He has practiced law for the past forty years, primarily in Atlanta, Georgia, and now resides in Georgetown, South Carolina. His civil trial work extended to dozens of jurisdictions throughout the United States, Australia and England, and he contributed to several professional journals and treatises dealing with his particular area of expertise, construction law. He began writing seriously in 2008, and his first novel, A Hollow Cup, was published in 2011. He and his wife Barbie have two sons, one a lawyer in Salt Lake City, the other a Navy helicopter pilot currently stationed in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Mr. Thompson plays an occa-sional round of bad golf, and he and his bride can some-times be found having a late-afternoon cocktail or glass of wine at the beach.
