e-mail: it can kill you!
Copyright 1999-2001
Michael Roberts and his wife Colleen love sending e-mail messages
to family and friends. Michael especially likes sharing jokes.
Michael's e-mail address (MAILrob.com) differs by one letter from
the web site for Robinson Military (MILrob.com). Because of
mistyped e-mail addresses, the couple occasionally receives
government documents intended for officers at Robinson Military.
One day, with no warning, Michael starts receiving e-mail
intended for someone else. The e-mails detail a plan for
a strike against the Government. In the TO box, the messages
include the e-mail addresses of those participating in the coup.
Mavira, an embittered commander dishonorably discharged during
the Viet Nam conflict, is incensed at the loose thread
threatening to unravel the tapestry. Michael and Colleen
unexpectedly find themselves the target of Mavira's assassains.
Trying to find help through government agencies (the NSA, FBI,
CIA and Whitehouse) turns out to be a fiasco, resulting in
the promise of arrest if Michael's "harassment" continues.
Seeing no alternative Michael and Colleen use the information
received in the e-mail messages to manipulate their way into
Mavira's camp, hoping to thwart the plan from the inside.
In this novel, based on a true story, Harrison Linder
weaves the facts surrounding governmental
e-mail messages actually received, into a
potential reality that could destroy democracy
as we know it, and Michael along with it.
