In the seventh installment of the Omniscient: John the Genius series, titled Mad Beast, the stakes have shifted from global energy to the global stage as the "Cook Wave" threatens to paralyze the financial world. Set against the backdrop of May 1991, fourteen-year-old mega-billionaire Dr John Cook finds himself at the center of a media firestorm after a ground breaking auction, and the release of a treatment and cure for HIV/AIDS.
With protesters and reporters swarming his Tulsa headquarters, John executes a tactical retreat. Hidden away in a place that feels like home, he is a neighbor to the Mad Beast he has sworn to cripple and destroy to protect the rest of the world. The USSR is a crumbling edifice but John knows exactly how to shatter it and pick up the pieces to secure the future.
