We live in very volatile times, with countries rivaling each other to become the next superpowers and terrorists becoming more and more heinously creative.

What if all of the world's nuclear power, from non-military civil power plants to lethal nuclear warheads could be controlled by a single software that could remotely detonate any nuke on the planet?

And if that software was to be called Ionshaker, what would you expect if it was to fall in the wicked hands of terrorists? Lets give these terrorists a name, say - Al Fakir, What do you think Al Fakir would do with Ionshaker in their hands? Use it to make demands, start a random nuclear war perhaps? Do you by any chance live in America? If you do - what if they detonated several nuclear warheads and nuclear power-plants across America to kill copious amounts of people with the explosions and radiation? If you don't live in the U.S - what if the Al Fakir attacked your country with American nuclear warheads, how would you country react?

And just assume for a minute that you're the U.S president at the time hoping to run for a second term - what would you do if Al Fakir took over your county's nuclear power? What if the only people who can help you stop Al Fakir are murder suspects and are on FBI's most wanted list, would you use them to stop the terrorists. If you did use them, what about the political ramifications? Would you put your career on the line? Really?

Those are just but a few of the many scenarios that ran through my mind as I was writing Ionshaker and I do hope you'll love it!
