A terrorist bomb explodes in the basement of the White House. America rallies behind an embattled administration. The President immediately orders a deadly, retaliatory strike against Iran. Bunker-busting bombs destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. It was the ultimate October surprise, destined to save reputations and change the outcome of the November elections. That was the plan. Provocative and timely, "Master Spies Die Laughing" is based on actual events, technology and cutting-edge surveillance systems that most Americans would be stunned to know exists. Truth is scarier than fiction in this actual rendition of a half-baked conspiracy plot hatched by an embattled President, duplicitous agents, clueless spies, befuddled bureaucrats, and a pernicious Pentagon. The only thing standing in the way of an American Armageddon are two of the strangest spies in history, a pair of teenage computer geeks, and a New Jersey crime family. That and a critical lack of intelligence.
