San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2005 -- MotCon Books introduces a new writer, Bob Close, through the novel, Peace II, (MotCon Books, December 2004, $12.99; ISBN 0-9761522-0-7) a story of international financial intrigue. Mr. Close has spent the majority of his career working in international technology markets, and has written for technological publications such as Unmanned Vehicles Magazine, and has scripted a video for exhibition in the Smithsonian. His writings draw deeply from his professional background. He has traveled extensively in Europe, the Mid-East and Scandinavia, which has provided him with a rich portfolio of ideas for stories that appeal to a broad cross section of readers. During the past decade he has written fourteen screenplays, two novels and one stage production.

His first book release is the action adventure, PEACE II. Through the lives of John and Connie Barton, it crosses the major political events shaping the world in the past sixty years. The adventure takes a winding path from the Kennedy assassination, through the arms race that ended the Cold War, leading to today's latest battles against terrorism.

The story opens on the plains of South Africa: This nation caught in the fiscal struggles of reconstruction, following apartheid, reverts to nuclear blackmail to assure its survival amidst the worldwide economic reorganization under the UN's newest peace plan. Against a backdrop of a tumultuous love story, world leaders fall, politicians betray their constituents, and the sons of some of the worlds richest oil barons form OPEC. In the end, our heroes race to defuse the South African situation before it disrupts the World Bank's second attempt to bring peace to all nations.
