Epidemics ravage the country while complacent politicians sit by. A suspense-filled thriller you can’t put down.


In Jay Gaskill’s eerily prescient new thriller, epidemics with no known medical cure run rampant through the US. Enemies living within the country mount these and other covert attacks resulting in casualties on an unthinkable scale. Added to epidemics are ecological catastrophes – investigations of which are crippled by a fierce public distrust of technology and hatred of the media. The question emerges: Could something worse than 9/11 be happening?

Masterminding these relentless attacks is the Baron, a mysterious European with a deep hatred of America. His assistant, both carefully trained and coldly vicious, carries out the Baron’s planned destruction by manipulating naïve environmental cults. Eventually cult followers of Gaia (Greek earth goddess) embrace the belief that humanity has become a cancer destroying the earth. The solution: Destroy the American population – “Gaia’s revenge.”

To save the country, pharmaceuticals that will disarm superbug pandemics are crucial. Standing in the way are not only the eco-terrorists but also clandestine members and supporters of a renegade presidential administration and senators who grabbed power through a loophole in the US Constitution. Assassination and murder threaten to become everyday events.

One man, US Senator and Native American Gabriel Standing Bear — husband, father, environmental leader – is determined to stop the carnage and loss of country. Working with key players including a pharmaceutical scientist and Native American long-time colleagues, Gabriel forges the complex and difficult path to victory over “Gaia’s Revenge.”

Amazon Five-star reader reviews:


“The Extermination Game is an extremely intense and political thriller…[it] actually gave me nightmares for the “that could really happen” factor in this well-written fictional story.”

“… so suspenseful I couldn’t put it down.”
