BOILING THE OCEAN

THIRD BOOK IN THE AMERICA, INC. SAGA


3D book cover of 'Boiling the Ocean' by Mikael Carlson, depicting a fiery ocean scene with waves and a glowing earth.

Game of Thrones meets George Orwell's 1984 meets Wall Street as the powerful and the underdogs battle for the soul of humanity. The America, Inc. Saga is a terrifying look at a future world dominated by the corporate state and the elite. 

"Best new series I had read in quite a while."

-- Amazon Review


For the first time in its history, the world’s lone stock exchange is offline. The unexplained “aberrant trading behavior” has caused panic and confusion around the globe. While the new chief executive officer of America Incorporated and Intercorpex’s administrator-general takes drastic measures to restore confidence and maintain their power, patrician Denali Keating has something more devious in mind.

The America, Inc. Saga is the next great struggle between liberty and tyranny. Loyalties are shifting, and alliances are fracturing. Political bickering threatens to undo the “utopian” corporatist society. Can differences be set aside, or will bounded rationality allow the “terrorists” to move closer to implementing a new world order?

PRAISE FOR BOILING THE OCEAN

  • This novel is scary, because he is holding up a mirror to our society and what it reflects is not good. This might be an entertaining read, but between the lines lurking in the shadows is what could happen to our country.

    Amazon Review

  • I had to remind myself to breathe. This book is fast passed and filled with MANY unexpected twists. By book three, I'm attached to these characters.

THE STORY

“All you need to do to boil an ocean is light the world on fire.”

For the first time in its history, the world’s lone stock exchange is offline. The unexplained “aberrant trading behavior” has caused panic and confusion around the globe. While the new chief executive officer of America Incorporated and Intercorpex’s administrator-general takes drastic measures to restore confidence and maintain their power, patrician Denali Keating has something more devious in mind.

New York is reeling from the terrorist attacks, but the worst is yet to come. As employees overcome the shock of the senseless carnage, Intercorpex schedules a summit with the world’s most powerful elites at their Midtown Manhattan headquarters. The gathering is the best hope for reconciliation…and a tempting target for a terrorist bent on causing havoc and destruction.

When an unlikely communication tips security forces off to his deadly plan, the race to stop an unthinkable massacre begins. The ensuing manhunt leads to surprising changes in fortune as former heroes become useful scapegoats and the global balance of power shifts dramatically. By the end of the day, the one beacon of light left to beat back the encroaching darkness will find itself in grave danger of being extinguished.

Boiling the Ocean is the third installment in the ultimate struggle between liberty and tyranny. Former enemies forge new alliances as nefarious plots are uncovered. Adversaries settle old grudges while the “utopian” society ushered in during the Corporate Age crumbles. Will new leadership be able to stop society’s plunge into anarchy, or will the terrorists succeed in ushering in the new era they envision?
