If you are curious about what goes on behind closed doors in big business, the dark halls of Washington and shadow governments, Killing the Giants could be just what you're looking for. Early Reviews: "Fascinating look into the dark side corruption. This book reminds us why we root for the little guy. Four Stars " - The Kindle Book Review "Move over Dan Brown " - Kendra Dalton (Avid reader) "This powerfully driven political thriller emancipates the hidden truths of secret societies and projects those terrifying realities into a medium like none other." - Dory Maust, Author of Blood Stained "Admittedly, I was astounded at the amount of insight depicted within the pages of this novel regarding the ins-and-outs of the various secret societies and how they integrate with the overall world-wide political and economic trends to favor a select few. Both of my grandfathers and father attended Yale University and I remember well the stories albeit "facts] related by them - especially my father who was subjected to harsh acts of hazing not knowing what the end held in store for him. Indeed, it wasn't pretty as he opted not to play by their rules and was viciously attacked such that he ended up shunned from their society and was eventually pushed out of "normal" life leaving my mother and I to fend for ourselves. The harshness portrayed in this book is no exaggeration and in fact, is almost too kind to these vultures. Typically, I read a book first skimming it to see if it's worth reading a second time to devour the details. As I stated to the author, it was a no brainer for me as it related to "reality" in my world and the second reading totally absorbed me. Not only because of the facts stated above, but the story itself was well constructed and engaging. I would recommend this to anyone interested in learning how the other side works i.e. upper echelons] and not look at this as total fantasy. Unfortunately, it's not " - William Peck "Well written and timely for the shaky period the USA is in. Easily passed my 20 page rule - if a book cannot hold me for 20 pages, I usually do not finish...Read about the last 100 pages in a sitting - couldn't put it down. Storyline is gripping and detailed with a great background on the characters. I usually read King and Grisham, and this did not disappoint. Killing the Giants will be a well read book, looking forward to the next installment." - Jeff Kirchner "Killing the Giants draws you into a suspense filled drama, which pulls you to the edge of your seat and then starts twisting & turning, leaving you wanting more, and horrified about the real potential of power brokers, and the world we don't see A great Read " - Steve Smith, Lawyer
