We've heard of bombs on planes, suicide bombers, anthrax and car bombers. A new fictional thriller puts an incredible and unheard of spin on terrorists and what they might be up to that will make the hairs on your neck stand up. The Ovary Wars, written by Mike Hogan, effectively documents a type of bloodless terrorism targeting - American women.
In Hogan's book, American women are becoming permanently sterilized by a method unknown to everyone except an evil foreign power. As the nation's population dramatically declines over a four month period, the American economy begins to collapse and chaos ensues. Everyone is puzzled why women can't become pregnant and are discovering that they've become sterilized by a process they had no part in.
A deadly type of silent terrorism, originating from an unknown, but lethal power, is obliterating America's future - and no one knows how. From a state of overpopulation to almost non-existent, births become so rare in America that new form of crimes are being committed - drugs are rampant, baby-selling becomes a popular black-market affair, female immigrants are selling their eggs and ruthless criminals are selling fertility lists.
As America falls into the greatest and deadliest depression the world has ever known, people become desperate and would do anything to find a way out - even commit murder. In The Ovary Wars, terrorists have found the perfect way to destroy a population - prevent them from being born - and it seems as if their plan is going to work.
The Ovary Wars follows a cunning professor, Kirby Wadsworth, as he develops a means of controlling the world's population by sterilizing young women of child-bearing age in a way that they won't have a clue about what happened to them - until it's too late. The idea is devious and evil, but Kirby succeeds in a way that even he didn't know was possible.
Hogan also follows the lives of the Rosenbloom family as they fall from wealth to poverty. Steve and Joan Rosenbloom lived in a beautiful, professionally decorated home, befitting a prominent doctor's salary and status in the city. They had produced the obligatory two children, John and Carol and were busy planning trips, purchasing objects of jewelry, art and "things" for their home when the strange decline of births began to fill the media and caught their attention.
The new situation of decreasing population was catching everyone's attention. All of the Rosenbloom's once prosperous friends were beginning to suffer financially and emotionally from the downturn in the economy caused by the severe loss of future inhabitants.
Mike Hogan has spun a tale of intrigue and cleverly introduced a possible new terrorist threat in our midst in his first book, The Ovary Wars. Readers will hate to put the book down until they know the ending to this captivating story of our times.

Should steps be taken to control population growth in a world that has limited resources? Professor Kirby Wadsworth thinks so and encourages his students to think of ways to control it not while not worrying about legal and ethical limitations. His questions cause other professors to think he has gone too far but little do they know that he is already in talks with the Chinese on ways to control population by destroying the ovaries of young women. He is willing to go to any lengths to limit population growth and the Chinese are very willing to listen and try his methods. However, their target is not their own country but the United States. What will happen to the medical field when no new babies are born? What about other industry that caters to children? This plan has a domino effect that drastically effects the entire society has there are repercussions throughout the entire economy.
The Ovary Wars also follows Dr. John Rosenbloom, an obstetrician and the effect no babies being born has on his practice and then his family. It makes you realize how interconnected our economy is and how much families are over extended today. When his income is cut off, it destroys the family little by little until they lose their home and their dreams for the future.
The president has meetings trying to get to the bottom of what is happening and who is responsible but it is two FBI agents, Pete Vanguard and Emily Chandler who start to put the pieces of the puzzle together They find connections to the Chinese and while they don’t know how they did it they know they are involved in this plot to destroy the US.
I had trouble getting into this book at first because the book started with Professor Wadsworth and I did not like him. Then FBI agents were contacted to find the underlying cause of how the young women of America were affected and who was behind the plot and I was caught up in the adventure. I liked seeing a family up close but I thought their hardships were a little too heavy handed. I would like to see more of Agents Pete and Emily in future books.… (more)
