New Thriller from Author Mark Nykanen
Environmental extremists want to use her, corporations want her dead, the government wants her gone, and her daughter just wants to save her life. A "neo-primitive" cult with a doomsday secret kidnaps a fashion model and holds her hostage, forcing her to act as their spokesperson.
As time runs out and the world watches, her adult, estranged daughter allies with the activist underground in a desperate attempt to rescue her, while battling dark agendas from the government and energy corporations.
"More frightening than any vision of our future, Mark Nykanen's Primitive depicts the reality of the here and now. A timely and stunning vision of what happens when true-believers clash, catching innocents in the middle."
-- Ed Stackler, editor of New York Times-bestselling authors Greg Iles, Ridley Pearson, Ted Dekker, and others.
