Seismic Sedition D T E Madden

Meet Professor Terry Joyner, a seismologist who the "Right Side of History" will judge as one of its greatest monsters. Barely hanging onto his job, he's tracking something amiss beneath the earth's surface when a sudden explosion destroys the old steel district in Chicago, ripping through the South Side. Hundreds are dead or missing. Obsessively self-conscious and analytical, Joyner may have cracked the case of the explosion with one of his booze-fueled theories. But his investigation goes off the rails when he gets drawn into attending a "Blue Ribbon Panel" of academic experts that have gathered to solve the mystery behind the explosion - or so he thinks. A dubious choice of words in front of his fellow academics brings Joyner to the attention of a mysterious government agency bent upon silencing him for his speech crimes against humanity. Will Joyner see the light and admit his bias and wrongdoing? Or will he choose the path of defiance and sedition? In Seismic Sedition, you'll laugh along with Joyner as well as at him. And you might be laughing at yourself, too - especially if you've ever felt like you've been the only sane person in the room.
