Description
by Jack Larsen & Jim Haynes
A newly-elected U.S. President, elected on the promise to restrict oil exploration offshore and in other sensitive areas goes back on his promise. In response, a group of America’s largest oil company CEOs, led by a mysterious and diabolical Saudi, want higher oil prices more than they want more oil and orchestrates a series of “accidents” involving offshore oil rigs, tankers and other oil facilities in an attempt to cause a public backlash that will force the President to stop new exploration and protect their profits. The CEOs even fund a “front” environmental group to manage the public outcry. But something about the plan is not as it seems. The Facilitator keeps the reader in suspense as it builds to a climax that is both surprising and ingenious.
