S.A.S.S.Y., on the heels of his successful THE FINAL JIHAD (still selling since its initial publication in 1996), is Martin Keating’s newest thriller-espionage novel. It begins with the discovery of a top-secret U.S. Army plan to capture and ”chip” the elusive Big Foot. Not one in twenty Americans has ever believed in the large ape-man, but the Army possessed decades of growing evidence to the contrary, dating back to General MacArthur and the Korean War. If such a creature could be caught and controlled, it would be the perfect killing machine for Pakistan, Afghanistan, and similar ”difficult” locales. However, a much larger conspiracy quickly comes into focus. A troika of enemies from China, North Korea, and the Middle East plans to steal and use the crypto-animals as part of a diabolical agenda to exploit an unrecognized vulnerability of the United States. If this monstrous scheme were to succeed, the results would be catastrophic. Every part of America would be threatened, and the flame of liberty would be extinguished. Two thousand years of Western Civilization would be obliterated, and man would return to the cave. Hideous animal experiments, the seizure of a major U.S. military base by a foreign power, the threat of hundreds of underground ”dirty bombs” across the nation, murder, treason, kidnapping, and betrayal. Something for everyone. U.S. intelligence operatives aren’t calling S.A.S.S.Y. fiction. They did so with Keating’s THE FINAL JIHAD, to their shock and chagrin. For the Army,it was the tale of an ape-man. For the Navy,it was the tail of a dragon.
