In 2030, the world is broke, crime and corruption are rampant, while terrorism is strangely sophisticated. The Puppeteer intends to bring society to its senses by creating the ultimate in terrorism, and hundreds of millions will die unless the challenge he issues is met. But can he control what he is doing?
When Lt Colonel John Maxwell is put in charge of a simple anti-terrorist team, he forms a dysfunctional relationship with Tamsyn Farish, and to everybody's surprise, they have success where nobody else does, until he learns that he too is having strings pulled. Meanwhile, two young scientists carrying out undersea minerals exploration at Kerguelen are suddenly critical to saving hundreds of millions of lives, but they have no idea there is even a problem, let alone what they have to do, and nobody can communicate with Kerguelen.
A fast moving techno thriller with added romance. Of course, the situation could never arise. Or could it?

Puppeteer By Ian Miller.
Intense, riveting, thrilling, suspense — this novel is all those and one fascinating, complex mystery as well! Brilliantly conceived and superbly written, this novel will keep you guessing, figuring, wondering, and reading until the surprising ending. Ian combines tight action sequences with both suspense and an shroud of mystery.
The author’s book description is dead on “When resource shortages, debt and terrorism threaten to bring anarchy to the world, one man sent on a mission to thwart hi-tech terrorism must find whoever is manipulating both terrorists and antiterrorist forces to bring down governance. When he unravels the plot, his sense of honor is severely tested, but only unimpeachable honor can succeed.â€
In my opinion, this is an understatement! When one looks at our own world situation today — with corrupt officials, with a global economy going bust propped up by newly printed money without any backing, with countries, states, and large cities spending far beyond their incomes, with greedy corporations looking only for profits, with barely one percent of the population holding nearly all the wealth and the rest struggling to get by, where the corporations and wealthy fund so many politicians, where global warming and dependency on fossil fuels never see workable, effective solutions — you can see how easily our world could become that in Ian’s novel. I was immediately stricken with just how his vision of a possible future could become our reality!
I began by saying this novel is a fascinating, complex mystery. It is that and more. I like a good mystery, but this one kept me contemplating guessing, and figuring chapter after chapter, as more clues were revealed — very well done! Careful, once you start reading this one, you are not going to want to stop until the end, so don’t start reading it at bedtime.
Ian’s writing is excellent. He’s found a perfect balance between action, suspense, mystery, and character development. I couldn’t help but notice that he’s from one of those “down under†countries, and I did have to look up a couple of words and learned that a “ute†is their word for a pick-up truck. While the action takes place in various countries around the world, a key location is the island group Les Îles Kerguelen, which I promptly had to look up on Google maps. So yes, I picked up a bit of geography as well as some unfamiliar words, all to the author’s credit, challenging me. Well done, Ian.
Ian left me with a heavy question to ponder is this evil terrorist really a terrorist? The only criticism I have of the novel is its ending. I’m not sure that that outcome could really happen and that it would solve the societal problems, but that’s my opinion. What’s yours?
In short, I give Puppeteer, by Ian Miller a five-star rating and look forward to reading the sequels. He’s earned the rating!
I like a book that you can't wait to turn to the next page and Puppeteer by Ian Miller is one of those books, it has action, mistrust, betrayal, you wonder what's going to happen next and get excited as you turn the pages.
Review of Puppeteer
By
Ian Miller
If you like a masterful thriller of global proportions you will love Puppeteer. Set in the not too distant future where oil is at a premium and terrorism is at an all time high, this book will take you on a fast-paced ride around the world. Not only is Mr. Miller scientifically specific, his knowledge of global politics and the hierarchy of the Military, is spot on. In their efforts to claw their way to the top of the heap and garner military honors, two traitorous Colonels embark on a mission to create their own terrorist group. The unfortunate leader of this group, who goes by the name of John Carpenter, suddenly becomes the target of both the Military and the Terrorists. Again, Mr. Miller's knowledge of geography and current scientific methods comes into play and I soon found myself on the edge of my seat, unable to put the book down. The actual Puppeteer, whose expertise includes computer science, physics and chemistry, mixed with a desire to teach the world a lesson, is a fanatic of gigantic proportions and is prepared to go to any length to fulfill that goal. He has nothing to lose. John's complicated relationship with Tamsyn adds intrigue, and the quiet romance between Carole and Garry contributes to the human interest component of this fabulous novel. If you like an exciting read this one is for you.
