The Machiavelli Letter — Thomas Quinn
Have you ever wondered what would happen today if the forces of good in the world operated according to Niccolo Machiavelli's principles?
Iran is building a nuclear weapon while the rest of the world seems powerless to stop it. What would Niccolo Machiavelli do about it if he were alive today?
Cornell professor Jack McNair is the world's leading authority on Machiavelli. So he is amazed, while on a research trip to Florence, when he discovers a long lost letter written by the great Italian philosopher. It lays out a brilliant plan to achieve world domination. Back home, McNair watches today's geo-political events unfold until it becomes clear that America's enemies seem to be following the very plan contained in Machiavelli's Letter. Though McNair is aware of how dangerous it will be, he decides to risk everything to prevent it - but not alone.
McNair recruits an eclectic band of his former students to help him take on the daunting tasks of exposing the plot and convincing Washington to stop it.
David Rodney â€" Former U.S. ambassador to the Vatican and Kremlin. Can he help gain access to the highest levels of government?
Mary McGuire â€" Internationally-acclaimed journalist and Middle-Eastern expert. Can she discover the link between Islamic terrorists and their benefactors in Moscow?
Albert Taylor â€" Wealthy founder of TaylorTrade, the first Internet stock brokerage. Will he provide the financial resources to fund their costly efforts?
Mark Ferguson â€" Rogue, former CIA operative. Can he keep this band of amateurs alive long enough to achieve their goal?
Their quest takes them from Ithaca, to New York, Washington, Beirut, Damascus, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas as they race against time to defeat America's enemies.
McNair and his team of modern-day crusaders (the crociati) frantically try to assemble compelling evidence before it's too late. McNair, like a twenty-first century reincarnation of Machiavelli, leads them according the philosopher's time-worn principles. Most important, he knows that …“Politics has no relation to morals.”
If you read The Prince in school, then you know Machiavelli believed that man has a penchant for evil and that sometimes, “the means justifies the ends.” If you have ever been frustrated that our enemies are deadly serious while we seem more concerned about political correctness, then read The Machiavelli Letter.
