The Real Reason To Participate In Bank Transfer Day Is To Stop An Al-Qaeda Attack

Online, October 13, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Review by Sarah Moore

You can imagine a suitcase exploding in the middle of Times Square, slaughtering hundreds of tourists and commuters in its wake. We have seen the aftermath of a suicide bomber who makes a violent statement at a crowded marketplace in Baghdad. But, how many of us have contemplated the possibility of a terrorist plot that does not involve a single missile or IED? In his compelling novel Infinite Exposure, Roland Hughes challenges his readers to look at a world in which technology, economics, and old-fashioned greed merge to spark the Armageddon in a way that, although perhaps much different than most of us have imagined, seems all too plausible.

At the heart of the plot in Infinite Exposure is the desire by Kent Braxton, a business school graduate eager to move up the management ranks of First Global Bank, to find some cost-cutting measures for his company and therefore earn the promotion and larger salary that he craves. His solution, marketed to him by Big Four Consulting, is to consolidate all of the bank's data centers to one location in India. Now, one-third of the world's money supply will be traveling through a place in which the workers receive little training and are subject to minimal security checks, and where al Qaeda can easily infiltrate. The consequences of this naïve and ill-informed decision result in a run on money and resources that is catastrophic.

As someone who always has been drawn to novels with a basis in history or actual world events, I was naturally curious about the premise put forth by Roland Hughes in Infinite Exposure. It did not take long for his masterful writing and chilling use of realistic scenarios and personalities to engage me fully in the storyline. While not a book that you can curl up in a chair and read in one Sunday afternoon sitting, Infinite Exposure will drive you forward through each new chapter as the simmering tension developed by Hughes slowly mounts with sophisticated craftsmanship. I strongly encourage everyone to read Infinite Exposure by Roland Hughes and then decide if our collective fear over national security threat levels has overlooked a more dangerous attack than any of us have imagined.

From Don Gurney's review on BookReview.com

...This reviewer usually shies away from reading books not using conventional formats and punctuation, especially the lack of quotation marks, and started reading this book with some trepidation. Wrong! This story flows readily and provides a special reading experience on at least a couple of levels - a series of fast moving plots and subplots and an incisive look into our existing political world and the dangers governments, coupled with big business entities, are creating for our very immediate future. Infinite Exposure is categorized as "fiction," and one would hope that it really is fiction, but the reader will end up wondering just how much Mr. Hughes knows about what is really going on around us as our world is falling apart wherever we look. It would seem he knows a lot. The characters are not described in much detail, nor are the entities for whom they work spelled out further, but the reader's imagination will flesh out all the background needed to follow about six plots and sub-plots all proceeding on separate courses to one world-shaking conclusion - one much too probable and very terrifying....
