ABSTRACT

The parallels to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing are striking: a huge, homemade bomb, concocted mainly from readily available ingredients such as fertilizer, driven in a rented truck to the site of the attack by a terrorist, who activates the fuse and then escapes. The Organization starts with acts such as the bombing of Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters and continues to prosecute an ongoing, low-level campaign of terrorism, assassination and economic sabotage throughout the United States. Earl Turner’s exploits lead to his initiation into the Order, a quasi-religious inner cadre that directs the Organization and whose existence remains secret to both the System and ordinary Organization members. The novel ends with an epilogue summarizing how the Organization continued on to conquer the rest of the world and how all people of other races were eliminated. Stephen Jones intended to demonstrate that somebody else—anybody except his client—had killed all those innocent people.
