Forms of Madness tells the story of Jordan Bauer, an investigative reporter
who unwittingly becomes a pawn in an international conspiracy. A deep
emotional hook is planted in Jordan, and by tugging in various ways on this
connection Jordan is led to discover clues that ultimately reveal to him the
part he's been playing. Jordan is finally confronted by the conspirators and
presented with two options. He can attempt to disclose the conspiracy to the
public, or he can walk away—but there exists the inevitable fine print.
Though Jordan is convinced the public should be made aware of the dangers
the conspiracy represents, he knows that presenting undeniable proof will be
nearly impossible. To walk away would be the natural choice, but the hook
that was planted years earlier makes this option even more painful than
pursuing an unreachable goal.
While Forms of Madness s fictional, it is woven into a tapestry of familiar
geographical sites and real international events. Memorable events include
the 1980 Olympics in the Soviet Union and specific activities that took
place during the early years of the Soviet incursion into Afghanistan. Most
elements of the story play out in locations across the Soviet Union and in
southern California.
Forms of Madness begins in 1985. Mutual distrust between The United States and the Soviet Union has perpetuated an arms race that the U.S. is winning, but at the expense of socially and economically destabilizing a nuclear superpower.
After introducing the main characters and their relationships, the storybr />
retreats to the beginning of 1980 to provide the foundation for the mainbr />
theme. Agreeing to a proposal put forth by a CIA operative, anbr />
investigative journalist named Jordan Bauer gains legal entry to the Soviet Union. Jordan's alleged project is to illuminate | |  | | Necessary Evil
