Operation Damocles

The fate of the earth hangs in the balance in a dispute involving a dutiful spy, a newscaster with a price on her head, a rascal scientist, a grouchy former CIA agent, a murderous idealist, and a treasonous president. "e;Operation Damocles"e; is a secret plan for world domination using a satellite superweapon. The only thing stopping it: A spy with human failings and a pragmatic sense of duty; the woman he's been ordered to kill; a newscaster with the courage to defy a media gag-rule; a crotchety old scientist; and his lifelong friend, a kindred curmudgeon and retired CIA agent, who must engineer a world-wide rebellion.
