GHOST MONEY OMNIBUS, by Thierry Smolderen and Dominque Bertail

FOLLOW THE MONEY. SAVE THE WORLD

At the end of the year 2020, a team of military veterans is out to uncover a secret fortune built from the ashes of 9/11. This mission is so vast that it could disrupt the entire global economy. Their primary target is a beautiful young billionaire who crosses time zones with disconcerting ease.  They don’t know it yet, but this mysterious Lady of Dubai has ample means to defend herself… and fight back.

Description

This near-future political thriller, written by THIERRY SMOLDEREN and illustrated by DOMINIQUE BERTAIL, draws from today’s headlines and budding technologies, setting up a cyberwar in both tactile reality and virtual reality.

Intriguing characters and plotlines intertwine in this graphic novel when Lindsey, a young student in London, is rescued from a riot by Chamza, a young woman from the Arab world. This is the start of a relationship based on both fascination and convenience.  Before she knows it, Lindsey is drawn into a world of vast wealth and intrigue; her new friend seems to have ties to political movements and revolutionaries throughout the Islamic world. But it is not clear what their agenda might be, or where her great wealth comes from. Could it be the fabled legendary lost treasure of Al-Qaeda, supposedly amassed through insider trading prior to 9/11?

Unbeknownst to either Lindsey or Chamza, a set of US contractors, all veterans of the war in Iraq and the CIA’s rendition program, are focusing their sights on Chamza, believing her wealth is indeed the key to a larger threat to the entire world economy.

The series looks at surveillance, clandestine military action, and class warfare in the twilight of the current War on Terror, all within the context of a thriller that ultimately seeks to find out what controls the global economy.
