My first thriller, The Theory of Games, is now available! Here’s the background story:
Jakob Grant, formerly a top-selling computer game designer, is now down on his luck and barely hanging on teaching at an exclusive private college. His best friend is a 135-pound Rottweiler-German Shepherd dog named Bill who has been implanted with the CardioTronic 413 pacemaker (the ‘Dick Cheney’ model). When Jakob is fired from his teaching position he reluctantly accepts an unusual offer to work on a 3D military simulation; but there is something about the Major General that hired him that doesn’t appear to be right…
Here’s what New York Times bestselling author Jim Hougan (AKA John Case) has to say about it:
“The Theory of Games” is an off-the-Scoville Scale debut thriller from sometime-Pentagon consultant and fulltime bluesman Ezra Sidran. By turns (and, often, all at once) funny, smart and scary, Sidran takes us on a broken-field run through the underbelly of the military-industrial complex – where even the wargames – especially the wargames – are played for keeps.
- Jim Hougan (a/k/a John Case, “The Genesis Code“, “The First Horseman“, “The Murder Artist“, “Ghost Dancer“, “The Eighth Day“, “The Syndrome“, also under his own name, “Secret Agenda“, “Kingdom Come” and “Spooks“)
