"Derek Green’s New World Order is a sharp, stirring collection about Americans abroad, full of the eerie loneliness and hidden menace that comes with global travel in the age of terror. These vivid stories about greed, fear, and the thirst for adventure are also haunting, suspenseful dispatches from the front lines and back alleys of America’s corporate-military alliance." —Dean Bakopoulos

"Delve into any of these eleven highly entertaining tales and you’ll know what it is to be grabbed by the lapels and told a story. Derek Green’s characters are not men and women with quiet lives and vague careers. Rather, they are vividly portrayed operating in the deep recesses of the global economy–a journalist seeking a story in the Australian outback, a guy trying to sell Harleys in Baghdad–with surprising and harrowing results. New World Order is the real news, the kind you can’t find in the paper. Don’t miss it." —Scott Lasser

Derek Green writes in a wide range of genres. His main interest is fiction—both the short story and the novel—but he has also worked professionally as a screenwriter, feature journalist, and business writer. His first book, New World Order, is a collection of stories linked by a fictional Halliburtonesque company and set in various locations around the world. After the book appeared, he co-wrote the screenplay adaptation of a novel for Warner Bros. Studios and Carousel Productions as well as several television pilots. A member of the PEN American Center and the Writer's Guild of America East, Green teaches writing at Yale University and lives in Connecticut with his wife and two sons.
