Gold Jihad - Phil Bookman - Bog

THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN THE WORLD Silicon Valley billionaire Mike Gold has an audacious idea: Provide everyone on Earth cheap, clean energy by beaming solar power from the Moon. He wants to fund the development and startup costs for this endeavor through donated funds, including a billion dollars of his own money. On the other side of the world, the secretive ruling council of the Saudi Royal Family, the Sab'a, decrees that Mike Gold is the most dangerous man in the world. They instruct the man they call Scorpion to declare all-out but covert war on Mike Gold. He must annihilate Mike Gold and his blasphemous idea. As Mike starts his new venture, Global Lunar Electrical Energy (GLEE), he finds enemies everywhere. Friends of the Moon claims Gold and his billionaire cronies want to rape the Moon, like they have the Earth. A powerful U.S. Senator blocks Mike's access to NASA and introduces a bill to bar lunar power in the United States. GLEE job candidates are being murdered, and Mike is the next target. Now Mike Gold must mobilize all his resources to counterattack or succumb to the Gold Jihad.
