The Omega Principle Clive C Tappan

Publisher Marketing: 'The Omega Principle' is a fictitious account of what could transpire in times of radical social and political change. The title is derived from the theory that the last man left standing, in an outrageous plot, would get it all. Whereas all the characters are fictional, the story is based on the following imagined conspiracy. The year is 1994 and members of the old South African regime purportedly set about creating a closed pension fund. Every surviving Member of Parliament, past or present, were all intended to benefit from this vast nest egg totaling one billion rand. They would draw life-long pensions from this tax free, interest-bearing capital and upon their deaths, their spouses stood to inherit amounts, paid monthly, equivalent to approximately two-thirds of their late partners' pension. In this novel, it does not take long for a far-right extremist group, which then had a single member in Parliament, to realize that if their MP was the sole surviving pensioner, he would be paid the entire amount remaining in the fund. To this end and clearly convinced that with a billion Rand they could again return leadership of the country into white-hands, they cold-bloodedly set about eliminating all the other beneficiaries using despicable and vicious means. The pages are filled with intrigue and graphic violence intertwined amongst love, sex exploits as well as good humour and should certainly captivate and hold a broad range of readers enthralled. A true page-turner that will keep readers glued to their seats.
