First Mystery Thriller in the Pacific Century

I finished writing my novel 2030 a year ago but I'm trying to update its political references from current realities. It actually belongs to the Mystery-Thriller genre (in a sub-genre all my own, the Political Scifi of the Pacific Century). It is about the varied reactions of the American elite to the changed environments of the Pacific Century so the main characters are Americans- the yahoo American President in 2030, the vengeful first American woman President who became insane, the shadowy American CIA director, the practical American financier, the besieged American reporter who uncovered the conspiracies, etc. Most of the scenes are in Washington, New York & Seattle but the novel also takes us to many cities in the world. The Philippines figure only in the sense that it's the locale in East Asia where the American elite decided to build its forward base in trying to capture lost glory (much like the Clark & Subic bases of old but this time, the whole country as a base). In 2030, military hardware was greatly influenced by Nanotechnology & I've let loose of my imagination in creating possibilities.

I deemed it best to release it in a serialized form. I downloaded my entire novel in my pocketpc & I've been rewriting chapters in my inspired moments- in a café, during an intermission in a movie, even in my car parked in a 5th floor parking lot in a mall, etc. Each rewrite will reflect my thinking about current political developments projected to the realities of the Pacific Century.
