Wildcatter

Jihad America / Hanson's War #1

by Thornton D. Barnes

Hoot and Hannah Hanson and his small independent oil company struggled to survive until they hit it big with a wildcat well in Oklahoma, Their life becomes much like winning the lottery with everyone wanting a piece of the action. The first in line is the US Department of Homeland Security seeking to set an example when wide-spread news of his oil discovery attracts the attention of a Muslim attorney in California seeking to finance the Islamic jihad movement moving into the United States. The matter winds through the courts until a jihad attack on their oil company by homegrown terrorists attracts international media attention. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security become involved when this attack on the Hanson wildcat well takes several lives and creates a massive environmental threat requiring help from the Army Corps of Engineers to contain. Hoot protects his wife and twin daughters from kidnap for ransom, by hiring a security detail for their protection against a relentless jihad cell containing US soldiers converted to Islam while deployed in the Middle East wars. Hanson Oil Company becomes a lightning rod for continued terrorist activity because of the media attention that it attracts, which aids in recruiting homegrown Islamic extremists for the jihad on America. The author is planning a sequel to this book.
