In addition to providing an exciting race-against-the clock mystery, this story also provides a chillingly accurate picture of just how vulnerable our energy system really is. -Neil Latimer, Engineering Consultant with 33 years in the Petroleum Industry
Randy Thomas, production manager for Montgomery Oil & Gas, learns from a Homeland Security warning that an unidentified employee of the company is working with a terrorist cell to blow up Montgomery's huge Black Canyon gas plant, in western Colorado. Thomas's boss sends him to Grand Junction to identify and stop the terrorist. He races against time, trying to stop the planned explosion that could cause a major disruption in the western U.S. power grid by halting all natural gas flowing from the Western Slope.
Thomas soon confronts the murder of a key plant employee that may be tied to his investigation. He must work with the local western-style sheriff, who likes to run his own show, and a tough-minded but beautiful FBI special agent. Little does Thomas know, however, that his own life is in the sights of the unidentified terrorist. But who will step up and diffuse the situation when a massive bomb is found on the Black Canyon plant property?
As the entertaining and action-filled story unfolds, Terror at Black Canyon gives insight into the inner workings of a domestic oil and gas exploration and production company and relates author Gene Zimmerman's understanding of the differences between radical fundamentalist and moderate Muslims.
