The scientists and computer engineering team from the Blackwood Mountain Deep Space Research Institute, have inadvertently discovered the door in space that opens to reveal past events that have occurred on Earth and flowed out into space as images since the beginning of time. This astounding breakthrough has led the unsuspecting young scientists into a collision course with an Al-Quaeda supported terror cell and the Counter Terrorism Team tracking them, led by Major Clay Freeman. A highly developed plan masterminded by Osama bin Laden is underway to effect the upcoming US presidential election and alter the geo political landscape through a series of rapid military takeovers of key Islamic countries, anchored by the control of the Pakistan Government and is offensive nuclear capability. As the Earth Image Inversion Technology uncovers the recent past actions of the key protagonists, the true extent of the violent plan is gradually uncovered, along with the shock of who is involved and who is being targeted. The tightly paced drama of Second Law follows on from the discovery of the technology at Blackwood Mountain and its consequences in the first book of this series of geo political historical action dramas, First Law written in 2003 but not published until 2011, giving a fascinating alternate history that could very well have taken place and with different figures, still may occur.
