About The Author Jed O'Dea
Jed loves to read political thrillers while relaxing at his log cabin in West Virginia. His favorite authors are David Baldachi, Lee Childs, Robert Ludlum, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Ayn Rand, Tom Clancy, Jeffrey Deaver, Clive Cussler, Agatha Christie, Dan Brown, and Brad Meltzer.
His goal in life is to merge the best attributes from each of these authors into compelling, exciting, fun-to-read novels with characters as interesting as Jack Reacher, Dirk Pitt, Irene Kennedy, Jack Ryan, Hercule Poirot, John Galt, or Robert Langdon. Only with a twist: science.
Jed O’Dea likes to introduce credible scientific discoveries into novels that have the potential to alter geopolitics and change the course of history. Jed’s technical career as a government contractor in the nuclear, security, environmental, research and development, and energy sectors provides the foundation for the basis of his confidence in the limitless creativity and genius of humankind.
Tucker's discovery
Russia would be hurt badly if the Discovery sees the light of day. The People’s Republic of China wants the Discovery exclusively for itself. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will do anything to stop its manifestations. Tucker is the last person on earth that knows how to make the Discovery work. It’s a great Discovery for the people of the United States and ultimately the world; if Tucker can just survive the onslaught of assassins and kidnappers.

Unsustainable
Millions of Americans are violently protesting; many more are refusing to pay federal income tax. States are threatening to secede from the United States of America; the president is desperately trying to avoid a civil war. While Tucker is offering a solution, his family is under attack from the most intelligent person in the world — self-diagnosed as a sociopath and psychopath. The terrorist’s next assignment contained all the elements of life that he enjoyed: terrorism, explosives, cyber-attacks, sex, murder, theft, weaponry, revenge, and stealth. Life is good. Life will be better for him after he concludes his unfinished business with the Cherokee family and their protectors. The thin line between genius and insanity had been crossed a long time and many lives ago. While Russia and China take advantage of a weakened America, Tucker solves the unsolvable.

"WHA-CKED"
White House Attorney-Counsel KillED
A Deputy White House Counsel is found dead. His death is ruled a suicide. Twenty years later, the love of Tank Alvarez’s life is kidnapped. The ransom: “Investigate and disclose the awful truth about the death of the White House Counsel.” The former First Lady becomes a suspect. Secrets are hard to keep in the incestuous town of Washington, D.C. where there are scoop-driven reporters, loose-lipped Congressional staffers, influence peddlers, and information buyers. Washington is also a place where it is sometimes — maybe all the time — impossible to separate fact from fiction, disinformation from real data, and direct quotes from editorial opinions. WHA-CKED is a fictional story — inspired by a true story — of conspiracy, murder, blackmail, and the abuse of power and money.

BOOK REVIEWS
This is the best book I've read in the past 30 years. Your imagination will run wild; your love for intricately interwoven plots will shimmer; your appreciation for international intrigue will burst at the seams. The characters are alive, the locations are James Bond-quality, and the tensions between powerful people will curl your hair. I loved it so much that I read it again!!!”
A Thriller that is poignant for today!
Deadly Cold was fast reading and spell-binding. Frankly, I couldn't put it down ... I was biting at the bit to see what was going to happen next. Never once did I guess or assume I was as smart as the author in surmising what would happen next! The villain is deceptively clever and is like a ghost -- always 3 steps ahead of the reader. Mr. O'Dea knows how to bring you along into the plot and then continuously insert a 'surprise' or 'gotcha' that you weren't expecting. The characters were very real in today's world, and thought O'Dea really related to them and the good or evil they portray. The gentleman 'Tank' was remarkable and I suspect we actually have such great and brave men on our side of the globe. Can't wait for the next sequel!!! GREAT READING!
