Synopsis "Roppongi"

Before Al Qaeda; before ISIS; there was the Aum Cult."Shoko Asahara founded Aum Shinrikyo in 1987. The doctrines of Aum Shinrikyo are based on ancient yoga and primitive Buddhism, and require worshipping the Hindu God Siva, believed to preside over both destruction and creation. The sect has tried to build its own "kingdom" within its controlled compound facilities by establishing ministries and agencies under Asahara, its paramount leader. Among these, the sect "Science and Technology Agency" consists of scientists who graduated from prestigious universities in Japan. It is divided into several teams specialized in chemistry, biology, physics and medicine. This organization provided the technical information required to synthesize the Sarin." -The Japan Times, 1992A broken-down Navy Intel operative swimming in a sea of alcohol. The Japanese girl who loves him despite the tragic price she may have to pay. The "old salt" with a dark past who nonetheless tries to save them both. All coming together to face a madman more dangerous than Hitler himself with the very survival of civilization itself on the line.Fresh from his critically-acclaimed psychological thriller, Silver or Lead, James Cox brings us Roppongi, a ripped-from-the-headlines page-turner about an all-too-real terrorist group that many had never heard of but after this read will never forget.
