Pleasanton, CA, March 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- When a high-ranking U.S. diplomat is subjected to an attack by air in Iraq, the military personnel in charge decide that the time has come to ensure that American lives are not again put at risk. To this end, the U.S. government awards a contract to a defense consortium. Their mission: build a state-of-the-art defensive system that makes use of a new technology—nanotechnology. Over the next 18 months, these men and women work tirelessly, but first the new device will be used on a strategic mission—destroying the nuclear weapons facility of a rogue state. Aided by a foreign intelligence organization, the U.S. is prepared to prevent a possible nuclear war from engulfing the Middle East.

Featuring a large cast of characters, The Imperfect State has a few principal people: Tom Patterson, the engineering project manager who manages the contract; Rhett Braxton, a brash former Air Force pilot who is always looking for adventure; Gretchen Mueller, the beautiful and brilliant addition to Tom’s team—a woman with a mysterious past and possibly cloudy intentions. The development of the new system entwines the lives of all involved for better and for worse. Is Gretchen who she seems to be? Will Rhett return to his flyboy roots? Can Tom bring everything together in the end?

The Imperfect State, published by Dog Ear Publishing, is an engrossing glimpse into the mechanics and the politics behind modern weapon systems. It is full of fascinating characters and action-packed situations. The author, John Barron, is a retired software engineer, and makes use of his experience from various jobs—from the CIA to Northrop Grumman Corporation—to flesh out the technical detail found in this, his first novel. John and his wife, Beverly, enjoy spending time sailing their 38-foot sailboat on the San Francisco Bay with their two Siberian huskies.
