Dot Matrix Apocalypse

In Dot Matrix Apocalypse, star crossed love blossoms between Dr. Jack Trenchart who is a renowned psychopathologist and Claire Watchorn, a beautiful blue eyed virologist. They share a magical summer on the romantic Island of Corfu where the cirrus sky and the kiss of soft nights carries them away. Their professions throw them into the center of a diabolical plot orchestrated by a cabal of six major nations that are moving to deconstruct the world as we know it. Jack and Claire are tasked with stopping the spreading horror that is being unleashed on every continent. They cannot fathom the rationale or origin of such chaos. They are aided in their search for the perpetrators of the terror by two ephemeral and autonomous self-rewriting computer programs, dubbed "The Boys", who while helping Jack and Claire, develop their own key to the problem of the Big Six nations. They do not reveal their solution to Jack and Claire and the course of events takes a dramatic turn as The Boys move to implement their own ruthless alternative. Jack and Claire must somehow overcome the devastation from the growing cascade of events worldwide before all mankind is obliterated. It is 2017 and the Siren song of the internet has seduced humanity into a culture of debauchery and mindless self-importance. Nine billion people absorb viciousness and rampaging slaughter online as if it were painless entertainment. There are too many ideas to process, too many mouths to feed and too much carnage for the world to survive. People are becoming crowded mentally, physically and ethically and the crowding must stop. The power brokers in The United States of America, Russia, China, Great Britain, Germany and Canada are losing control. In equal partnership they collude to find a solution and they have agreed. The madness and the crowding will stop, and they will stop it, no matter the cost. They agree that the end justifies the means and if necessary, they will bring terrorism to every city, or they will bring war to every doorstep or they will bring plague to every household. Indeed, if needed they will bring all three of them together, but they will regain control. However, the Big Six is unaware that they also harbor a rogue agent, who operates in an otherworldly madness and who intends to stamp his own deranged and apocalyptic expiration date on humanity. Jack Trenchart's background is in the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. His inner spy is on the right track but he cannot believe what he suspects and he cannot believe who he suspects and he rejects such impossibilities. He ignores his innate distrust of things that are too coincidental. Claire is a virologist based in London and she knows that if insanity, national will or fanatical zeal decided that it was to be so, a man made synthetic biologic monster could destroy the world. Such a murderous thrust must not be suffered. The kiss of death must not fall upon Jack and Claire and all nations, even if the Big Six wish it to be so. The pace of events accelerates day by day as three inexorable forces are headed for an inevitable collision. The Boys have their solution spreading across the earth. The Cabal of Six has hammered every community and hamlet on the planet into submission. The rogue agent from the Big Six is poised to unleash the Gotterdammerung of the human species. The global end game arrives in a deluge of terror and Jack and Claire alone can stem the tide.
Perhaps the residue of this madness insures that a ghastly and ineluctable cataclysm will envelop the world of Jack and Claire and of all nations. Perhaps the ancient bloodlines can yet prevail. Perhaps the best generation is yet to come. Meanwhile, The Boys have thrived and grown fearsome in their power. They have become ubiquitous and immortal in an expanded state and they remain as an ambient presence. Perhaps the uncertain future can include a Jack and include a Claire but there is no doubt that it does include The Boys.
