Book Description
======
What happens when success is impossible and failure isn??Öt an option?-

In the ninth installment in the best-selling Mad Mick Series, several
months have passed since Walter Lightspeed demonstrated he could restore
power to the United States using his innovative wireless power delivery
system. After a year in the dark, America was finally on the rebound.
Optimism soared as people imagined an end to the most difficult period
in modern American history.

Lightspeed??Ös success allowed him to take the office of President
and gain the support of the military. With their backing??öand the assistance
of Conor, Ricardo, and their team??öLightspeed??Ös efforts to restore
power were accelerated. He was making regular radio addresses to the
American public to keep them updated and raise their spirits. He made
Wi-Fi available to regions with power so people could use their phones
to catch up on news and monitor the progress of power restoration. Jobs
and aid were available for those who wanted them.

But Lightspeed underestimated his enemies.

The political establishment would rather leave the nation in ruin than
allow an outsider to sit at their table. There were new enemies rising
from outside of the country, but also from within its borders. There
were the Luddites who decided that a year without power had restored
balance and purpose to their lives. There were the foreign actors determined
to strike in this moment of national vulnerability. There were even
those within Lightspeed??Ös own organization who had become disillusioned
with the way he was doing things and conspired against him.

These attempts to sabotage his national recovery effort are raising
serious questions for Lightspeed and his team. Is destruction of the
enemy more important than compromise?
