Description

Legacy of Evil, by Ed Marohn, is the second novel in the action-adventure series about Psychologist John Moore, who works for the CIA. He finds himself in the middle of a "factions war" between the present second-in-command of the CIA, James Woodruff, and a rival connected to the neo-Nazis, who will stop at nothing to unseat him.

Woodruff sends Moore to Holland and Germany to help expose any neo-Nazis who had infiltrated the CIA. In the process, he meets with former members of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, an anarchist group that committed murders and bombings in West Germany and other parts of Europe starting in the 1970s. He soon learns that a nuclear device fell into their hands and is unaccounted for after all these years. John rushes to Finland, and eventually, Lapland above the Arctic Circle, to locate the nuclear weapon for the CIA. However, an elaborate international neo-Nazi group aims to find the atomic device first as part of their plan to create a new world order. A dangerous chase sequence develops as John Moore, his fellow CIA partner, and his Finnish guide race by dogsled on the Arctic taiga pursued by the fascist group.

Throughout, Moore struggles with his demons from killing in the Vietnam War. Ironically, during his last mission for the CIA in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to pursue war criminals, he befriended his former North Vietnam enemy, Colonel Tin, who he fought against in the war. He also became a friend to national policewoman Hieu, who partnered with him to catch the bad guys. Now Tin and Hieu try to help him against the neo-Nazis, along with a mafia hitman who had saved John's life in Saigon during the war.

Readers who enjoy espionage, political intrigue, mystery, action, adventure, thrillers, and historical events laced into fiction should find this book of interest.

About the Author

Ed Marohn was an executive for 30 years with Continental AG and Michelin Tire Corporation, both International Fortune 500 companies. Before his corporate career, he served in the US Army and earned his Airborne Badge before joining the 25th Infantry Division and the 101st Airborne (Airmobile) Division in the Vietnam War. As a Field Artillery captain, he commanded Battery C of the 2/11 Field Artillery and awarded three Bronze Stars, one Air Medal, and two Army Commendation Medals. After his combat tour, the army assigned him as the Assistant Professor of Military History at the University of Nevada, Reno. His other military assignments included Fort Benning, Georgia, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Bayreuth, Germany, Washington, DC, and Sgel, Germany. Trained by the US State Department in the Dutch language, the army assigned him to The Netherlands as NATO Liaison and Nuclear Surety Officer. He earned an MA in Counseling (psychology) from the University of Nevada and a BA in Political Science from the University of Idaho.

After retiring from the corporate world, he volunteered as a VA group therapy facilitator for veterans with PTSD from 2008 to 2016. Additionally, he served as the Vice-Chairman of the Idaho Humanities Council (National Endowment for the Humanities) from 2010 to 2016. Concurrently he held the position as a Board Member of the Idaho Falls City Club. In 2014 he was also elected to a four-year term to the Idaho Falls City Council.

He has written as a newspaper columnist and has had fiction and non-fiction articles published in Idaho Magazine, Hard-Boiled Mystery Magazine, Army Magazine, and various business journals.

He has traveled to many countries, including the following: Japan, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Panama, Spain, France, England, Germany, Austria, Mexico, Ecuador, Tahiti, Canada, and Hungary. The most significant trip was his return journey to Vietnam-now the Socialist Republics of Vietnam-some forty years after the war. His first novel, Legacy of War, was conceptualized there.

His second and sequel novel, Legacy of Evil, A John Moore Mystery, will be published by August or September 2021.
