      The threat of nuclear terrorism and weapons of mass destruction has never been greater, yet, as this devastating exposé makes clear, America's leaders, including the last two Presidential administrations, have been shockingly lax and often chillingly reckless when it comes to protecting the United States—and the world—from the spreading threat of nuclear proliferation and the very real possibility that terrorists will stage a nuclear bombing or meltdown on American soil . . . with catastrophic results. Taking no prisoners, Robert Gleason's The Nuclear Terrorist demonstrates how time and again both the Bush and Obama administrations have placed politics and profiteering over public safety; how the government has failed to effectively guard and regulate a "peaceful" nuclear industry that is both cataclysmically expensive and apocalyptically dangerous; how America's nuclear power plants remain vulnerable to both physical and cyber attacks; and how our elected leaders and their advisors continue to do business with rogue states, untrustworthy and unstable "allies," and terrorist backers, while turning a blind eye to the all-but-inevitable consequences of such deals with the devil.

      Mille anni fa a Tula, in Messico, un giovane schiavo diventa l'assistente dell'astronomo di corte, e lo aiuta a redigere (e poi a seppellire) il Calendario del Lungo Computo, il codice che indica la data della fine del mondo. Tula è la potente capitale dei Toltechi, governata da un imperatore illuminato che porta il nome del signore degli dèi, Quetzalcoatl, il Serpente Piumato. Ma forze oscure minacciano Tula: la guerra, una siccità devastante, le lotte di potere e il crudele culto di morte promosso dalla casta dei sacerdoti, per i quali solo i sacrifici umani possono scongiurare la catastrofe che incombe. In un futuro così prossimo da essere ormai il nostro presente, due giovani archeologhe stanno riportando alla luce quel calendario, proprio mentre un'unità di crisi presso la Casa Bianca deve affrontare il rischio più grave che abbia mai corso l'umanità. Riusciranno a decifrare il codice e a risparmiare al nostro mondo il fato di Tuia?
