WHAT IF EVERYTHING, AS YOU KNOW IT, WAS NOT WHAT IT SEEMED? 

SUMMARY:---------------- Drawing on events and facts from the recent past, this work of fiction is a journey filled with mystery and suspense - looking at plausible explanations to historical events and the resulting destiny of mankind. A destiny which may very well be in the hands of a few relentless, disruptive, fanatical men and women. Agent Schuller had no intention of getting caught up in the biggest criminal operation of our time. But whilst working on a project for the Central Intelligence Agency, alongside Agent Eisenhower, she unwittingly becomes part of a hunt for the truth. Obsessed with a compelling desire to unravel this evil, she becomes involved in something much bigger than anything she could have conceived. Her quest takes her along a path that causes her to question every belief she holds. The line between good and bad, fact and fantasy, has become obscured by staggering proportions. Even more perplexing is the fact that this particular problem will have catastrophic consequences to humanity if it were stopped, and even worse if allowed to continue. What do you do when faced with two paths that seem equally disastrous? Do nothing and let evil succeed? Fight back and risk becoming the evil yourself?Or... are these events evil at all?REVIEWS:-----------------"A keen labyrinthine plot sprinkled with moments of intrigue and humor." ~ Kirkus Reviews"MORALIS ALEAM is a chilling tale that offers the disturbing possibility that world events and global economies may be far more controlled than we know - and not necessarily in our best interests." ~ Indiereader ReviewPROLOGUE:------------------ What medium are you using to read this book? Are you using an electronic device, such as a Kindle or a tablet? Your laptop? Your phone? Or perhaps you are one of the few who still prefer the comforting feel and smell of paper bound in hardcover? How many times have you checked your cell phone today? Or turned on the TV? Used the internet? Or even relied on a high-tech appliance to help you with the housework? Our lives seem to revolve around technological consumerism, so much so that we shudder when we consider what we would do if they ceased to exist. In a world where our greatest nightmares seem to be constantly fueled by terror and natural disasters, how important is technology? Does it provide tools to tackle evil or does it breed evil? Or is technology an essential component of our day-to-day life, simply abused by a few? Could you live without it? Would you want to? Why are we even questioning the benefits of the importance of the age of technology? The leader of the World Council, the most powerful organization on the planet, an organization that has overseen decades of peace over the place we call home, has to ask similar questions in this story. He has the opportunity to save the world... but at what cost? Sometimes, what is right is also wrong, and what is wrong is good, even essential. What would you do, when faced with an enemy that is both friend and foe? What do you do when faced with an ultimate moral dilemma; a moral hazard? The Oxford Dictionary defines Moralis Aleam (moral hazard) as a lack of incentive to guard against risk where one is protected from its consequences, not unlike the effects on behavior as a result of being adequately insured.
