A diabolical scientific discovery allows Islamic fundamentalist and secretive Nazi sympathizers to develop a deadly, and very specific, biological weapon for the final eradication of Israel – and the genocide of Jews everywhere. As Israel and the Arab Bloc once again prepare for war, it becomes widely acknowledged that Israel will use nuclear weapons if national survival is at risk and the Arab Bloc will unleash radical new biological weapons in response. Michael Bradley, a brilliant inorganic chemist is swept up in the tide of war and finds himself alone in the Tibesti Highlands of Southern Libya. His goal is the destruction of the secret biological laboratory that has produced the genocidal biological weapon. A lightening paced thriller, Spirit of Error is a frightening description of what could be happening right now in Libya and the Middle East. In the tradition of Tom Clancy and Tim LaHaye, James J. Houts has crafted a story with ominous implications for Israel and the world. Born on the threshold of Death Valley, in a remote region of California's Mojave Desert, James J Houts has traveled the world extensively, living and working in many cultures. As a student he worked his way across the United States, tending bar in desert towns, Colorado ski resorts and on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. During a long career as an chemical engineering consultant, he has lived in California, Hawaii and the Republic of the Philippines. He has worked throughout the globe and has spent a great deal of time in South East Asia and the Peoples Republic of China where he learned to speak Mandarin Chinese. He has also worked in Europe and Africa. Educated in Southern California, he received degrees in chemistry and biochemistry from the University of California, Riverside and a post-graduate degree in technical writing from California State University, Long Beach. His scientific work has been published in The Journal of the American Chemical Society. Although he is a born wanderer, he presently resides in Southern California.
