The Seeds of Evil: A Global Killer

by Theodore A, Franks, Ted Franks, Sr. (Editor), Norbert Chandler (Editor), Martha Reardon (Editor), Mike Clements (Editor)

Overview

Adriano Moretti and Tony Bertulli, two childhood friends conspire to create a global killer through a manufactured famine, by altering the genetics of our food seeds. Their goal is to devastate America and transform the government into a dictatorship. They deceive the American public, including their long-time friend, Pope Christo Bianchi. They ask the Pope to support their plans for a governmental overhaul by claiming that they can solve this crisis. Selected members of Congress who don't support this plan are identified and assassinated by the Mafia.

Hal Stone, a former Air Force test pilot, now the leader of America's largest privately funded cybersecurity firm, joins forces with Anna Unmaya, an intelligence specialist with the Russian Federal Security Service, to expose and thwart this sinister plot. A showdown plays out in Washington, D.C., involving a high-speed car chase between law enforcement and the perpetrators hired guns, ending inside the United States Capitol building. It's there that the conspirators attempt to finalize their change in the government during a joint session of Congress. In the process, a shootout occurs resulting in the deaths of multiple congressional members, criminal perpetrators, and law enforcement officers. This story is a compelling tale of good versus evil.

About the Author

Theodore A. Franks has long been captivated by the forces that shape our global and political landscapes. At 64, his career in information technology has taken him to every corner of the world, fueling an insatiable curiosity about how systems operate and how people behave. His extensive travels and rich interactions with diverse cultures, languages, religions, and cuisines have profoundly influenced his worldview—a perspective that is vividly brought to life in his debut novel.

This first foray into the world of fiction is the culmination of three years of conceptual evolution and over five years of dedicated writing. Franks weaves a tale that is as realistic as it is intricate, a narrative where the realms of power, deception, and survival intersect in a way that could very well mirror today’s events.

When he isn’t crafting complex narratives, Theodore cherishes his “bubble” of family and friends and enjoys splitting his time between Tybee Island, Georgia, and Daufuskie Island, South Carolina. His passions extend to drumming, boating, gardening, traveling, and cooking. Active in his community, he proudly participates in various organizations including the American Legion (Post 154, Tybee Island, GA), the Savannah Chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Knights of Columbus (Council 631, Savannah, GA), the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and the Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee.

A guiding principle in his life is simple yet profound: “Do Everything with Excellence.” This commitment to excellence not only defines his personal ethos but also breathes life into his storytelling, inviting readers to experience a narrative where every detail is meticulously crafted and every twist is a testament to his global perspective.
