While tracking a CIA informant who has information on an international cabal known only as Atlas, Carl Johnson—the American Terrorist—stumbles upon a sinister test program to control police through high-tech behavior control. He soon learns that Atlas is leveraging the media, corrupt officials, and our basic desire for security and freedom to attempt the assassination of US President Shirley Mallory and achieve world domination. Everything Carl thought he knew about police brutality, Black Lives Matter, and the lengths to which people will go for power and greed gets turned upside down again. He has mere hours to save millions of American lives, but will have to take on elite units of the Chicago PD and Atlas mercenaries first. Can’t get enough Carl Johnson? This short story is a preview of the danger and intrigue he’ll face in the third installment of the American Terrorist Thriller Series, Escalate! (American Terrorist 3).
