Code Name - Zeus: A Geo-political Saga by Gary Andersen
Government agencies and sinister organizations in the United States and around the world closely follow the activities in and around the small town of Kursk, Texas. The town and surrounding area, settled by German Russian immigrants in the early twentieth century, suffered greatly from the dual impact of the Dust Bowl years and the Great Depression, only to be saved by two strange newcomers from Europe who are great believers in capitalism and the American way of life. After making a vast fortune, starting on the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, and around Beaumont, Texas, Russian immigrant Robert Barzinsky and his junior partner, Jack Barnett, a native of Ireland, move to Kursk, Texas. They ranch, drill for oil, and create a secret project, code name: Zeus, where they prepare for a major worldwide disaster. Barnett's son, Jack Jr., is the Renaissance man who recruits a team of techies, led by Chip Faraday, to provide the technological evolution to successfully prepare for the eventual destruction of most human life on earth. Chip Faraday, his lifelong friend Rick Christiansen, their former professor Dr. Dane Madsen, and a small group of outcasts provide the path to survival.
Gary Andersen was raised on farms his parents rented near small towns in Minnesota. He graduated from high school, one of eight boys in a class of fifteen, then received a BSEE (days) and BSBA (nights) from the University of Minnesota. Over five decades, he went from designing computer logic and memory systems to sales and marketing positions with several companies including Intel Corporation. He and his family moved to the Bay Area in 1975 and to Texas for an expected two years in 1979, but have remained in Texas. In 1986, he became the sixth CEO of a small, never profitable, seven-year-old high-tech venture-capitalist-backed company. He dramatically grew the company and made it profitable. He managed the company's successful IPO in 1994 and then left on his tenth anniversary as CEO. He and his wife are actively involved with their family and a wide range of friends.
