BATH – Maine author Jonathan Michael has written “Anonymous Sedition,” an international thriller set amid present-day national security issues.

It is September 2008. Retired F-16 fighter pilot Justin Sween is conducting his final expedition as a National Geographic field guide after sustaining a grievous wound in Africa. He is ready to return to his hometown of Brunswick for a quiet existence. Shadowy operatives in Washington, D.C., however, are plotting a more nefarious endgame to his career – to sway the outcome of a looming international crisis in their political favor.

U.S Navy Carrier Strike Groups are racing toward Iran before its messianic leader can initiate the “End of Days.” When the classified detail that an Air Force Academy cadet drafted the Pentagon’s war plan years ago is leaked to the Washington Post, the media-inspired “CadetGate” scandal soon leads to Sween.

His capture will allegedly scuttle the conflict, and he is zealously hunted through Europe by enemies, foreign and domestic alike.

“Anonymous Sedition” is a story about personal redemption, fraying ethics in journalism and the importance of abiding by the U.S. Air Force’s core values: integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.
