Tom Avitabile will sign "The 8th Day" at Borders October 4, 2008

A CHEMICAL ENGINEER sets in motion a horrendous explosion killing hundreds of commuters and himself. Hollywood’s hottest sex symbol
assassinates a sitting Senator. A grandmother stages a sophisticated attack on a train causing massive damage. An airplane full of Silicon Valley’s brightest is blown up while refueling. A series of deadly, unrelated events or the unlikely start of an insidious new terror network?

As Science Advisor to the President, William “Wild Bill” Hiccock is tasked with assembling a team to identify and stop the threat, whether homegrown or foreign. His team—a retired Navy Admiral, a wise-guy computer hacker sprung from federal prison, and his ex-wife, a leading behavioral psychologist— must identify and destroy their elusive adversary who always seems to be a step ahead.

TOM AVITABILE, a Senior Creative Director at a New York advertising firm, is a writer, director, and producer with numerous film and television
credits. He has an extensive background in engineering and computers, including work on projects for the House Committee on Science and
Technology, which helped lay the foundation for The Eighth Day, his first novel. In his spare time, Tom is a professional musician and an amateur woodworker. He is currently at work on his next novel featuring William “Wild Bill” Hiccock.
