Flight 182 crashes in San Diego, everyone aboard is killed, including Reza Roshtti, who is on his way to present the final plans for a top secret project to his employer, California Robotics. Giti Roshtti appears on a newscast after the doomed flight, Jaffar Hamid Harraj is smitten with the bereaved widow who lives across the globe in the United States.
When Jack Coward, an ex-marine turned private investigator, is hired to find out everything he can about this beautiful woman, Jack sets in motion circumstances that bring Giti and Jaffar together. Unfortunately for Giti, Jaffar Harraj has a deep, dark secret. Jaffar is not only a senior member of the Islamic Hamas Movement, but a psychotic killer.
Jaffar's aim is to use Giti's U.S. citizenship as a mechanism through which he can establish inroads into the United States, the Great Satan of the western world and land of the infidels. One of the missions of Islamic Hamas is to spread terror throughout the United States.
The United States newest lettered agency, NATA or National Anti-Terrorist Agency has some new recruits, Jack Coward and his life-long friend Don Ziegler. They team up with other members of NATA, including ex-Air Force Lieutenant Michelle Hough, to try and discover the plans of Jaffar and the Islamic Hamas, and how Giti is involved in the two.

Suddenly, Reza saw orange flashes, brilliant like the sun against the emerald green foliage of the Asian jungle. The bright lights and explosions were so near he could actually feel the heat and concussive blasts … he could feel artillery fire advancing quickly toward him.
“Reza? I asked you if this is where you think I should go!” Giti asked loudly, annoyed.
Jolted back to the present, he realized he had been bedazzled by amber rays of sunlight reflecting off the mirror-glass walls of the downtown office towers. The heat he had felt was actually blasts of hot air coming through the open window.
Giti noticed him sweating. “Sorry! You can close the window if you like,” she said. “But it’s sure hot, considering it’s only just after six o’clock in the morning. The temperature is already 78 degrees!” He didn’t respond, so by way of explanation she said, “I saw it on the sign on the Mutual of Omaha building.”
Reza rolled up the electric window, thinking, that’s right, one of the only really good options on this crate of a car was electric windows.
“That’s okay honey, it’s just that the rush of hot air was unexpected. My mind was elsewhere.” But it should be on what we’re about to do, on what we’re going to accomplish, on the lives that will be saved!
Due to a nondisclosure agreement TRW had made him sign, his wife knew very little about his work. Oh, sure, she knew the nature of what he was doing—she had not missed all the calls between he and Tom—and she knew why he was doing it (partly, at least), but she knew none of the specifics about how he was doing it. And she certainly didn’t know the details of that time in his life that motivated him to do it. He could never tell her of the horror. He loved her too much. Only another vet could understand, he supposed.
But Vietnam was at the root of his work. His experiences there were seared on his soul, so after one tour of duty he spent four years at UCLA studying engineering and ultimately secured his job at California Robotics, where he quickly became a leader in circuitry design. But his heart was in national defense and so he had jumped at the chance to resurrect the project. In fact, both he and his partner Tom would almost have paid money for this break, this chance … because this was payback—payback for all the young men like him who had sacrificed their innocence; for all the Graham Reams who had sacrificed their lives. Project Overlook would be a shining light for security for the nation. Maybe it would even be a way to end the institution of war for good. The technology was impeccable. The design was sound. How could he and Tom lose? After all, they were on the side of the good guys.
Ronald Fabick was inspired to start writing when an author told him, "If you can read a book, you can write a book". Within two weeks he had the first chapter of Turbulent Skies written.
Prior to becoming an author, Ron spent over thirty years as a Senior Structural draftsman. He uses this extensive engineering experience to add depth and reality to his stories. In his spare time, Ron enjoys crafting furniture in his workshop and tinkering on his vintage truck. Ron now resides on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
