13 Days by LA Starks
The devastation and havoc caused by hurricane Katrina should have been a wake up call for America.
But, as soon as gas prices began to drop, media attention reverted back to the latest tabloid issues.
It is with the memory of this devastation and the long list of consequences this country could endure as a result of our oil addiction, that LA Starks penned this explosive debut novel.
13 Days is an espionage thriller taking the reader as close to the industry as possible, without dawning a hard hat and being part of the crew.
With Centennial Refinery on the verge of bankruptcy and management unable to shore up their company from within, the stage was set for an outside takeover.
TriCoast Energy took control of the fledgling refinery.
Lynn Dayton had four weeks to prove this a profitable venture to the board of directors.
She had no way of knowing what began as merely another job, would soon become a matter of life and death for the employees, the refinery, and most importantly her family.
Lynn Dayton is a strong character, engaging, intelligent.
Her commitment to her family is mistakenly considered a weakness for an idealist that seriously underestimated his target.
The notes, definitions, and diagrams are invaluable resources.
Although the lengthy, detailed narratives, slowed the story in a few places, the plot, characters, and settings are all well thought out and delivered with an insiders expertise.
13 Days is as interesting as it is frightening.
With plot twists, unexpected betrayals, manipulations and so much more, Starks has created a suspense filled thriller that keeps you thinking from the very first chapter.
If you love a good thriller, that keeps you up reading way past your bed time, check out 13 Days: The Pythagoras Conspiracy.
Happy Reading!
