Insightful, intriguing and incredibly real, this is not an ordinary work of fiction! The author has combined his extensive knowledge of political science and history, along with just the right touch of imagination, to create a story that could step out into reality.

Set in America in the not-too-distant future, political consultant, Preston Fisk, spearheads a conspiracy that is designed to destroy the corrupt government. In a stroke of brilliance, Fisk and his cohorts attempt to ignite a revolution based on the government's greed and the American people's loyalty to freedom and truth. By deliberating placing dishonest leaders in office, they want the citizens to become increasingly enraged, leading them to take matters into their own hands. This masterful creation of organized chaos is frightfully authentic and powerfully plausible.

With crisp and commanding dialogue, the reader may forget this is fiction. The characterizations of both politicians and patriots steer the story into dangerous back alleys and right into the Oval Office. The political tension is palpable, and is expertly mixed with ingenious technological trickery that literally ignites the action. Yet, it's the ideology that inspires and motivates the characters. The author's firm grasp of politics and its place in history sends this story into the deep recesses of the mind. The plot has the possibility to become real if it falls into the right hands. That's an amazing accomplishment for a work of fiction!

Author Justin Oldham takes the conspiracy theory genre to higher and more dangerous levels in this book. These pages do more than tell a great story; they encourage readers to think!
