In Your Ear: a Tale of Telephone Terror Cody Jaycroft

Action-craving and action-starved middle-aged Lew Barry finds a new purpose for living. The wealthy and irreverent syndicated columnist and radio personality accepted life as it came since leaving the military thirty years earlier. However, that wasn't good enough for he wanted something different. Barry, who thought of himself as a has-been, continuously relived his experiences as a U. S. Navy SEAL. He longed for a return to the center stage of danger but realized fate reserved it only for young performers, not old men. Unknown to Barry, fate had his return to center stage scheduled all along. Barry receives an invitation to visit the home of powerful Baxter Perry King, a former United States Senator. There, he meets the brilliant Frederick Sparks, a retired career soldier and terrorism expert. King and Sparks offer Barry the opportunity to experience the good old days one more time. They ask Barry to uncover what becomes the most damaging act of terrorism ever thrust upon the United States. Barry accepts their offer and learns how a handful of determined people can control millions of apathetic people. We learn from Barry how a superpower nearly crumbled in a way that we could never have dreamed or imagined.
