Opis

The Joint Chiefs of Staff has had it with the President: the military cuts; ceasing of weaponry contracts and to keep him in office. Bill Kaiser is going to seize control of the Oval Office; the White House and the entire constitution in a Socratic fashion. The soldiers will see democracy has failed after the worst Wall Street crash too. Kaiser promises a new beginning that the economy is going to bounce back. Yet he is mocked and alienated by those that see him having no real power. He must win the hearts and minds of the American people to remain in office, and his answer is an expensive space project to Mars. Leo Rocko is a newly recruited astronaut who must make the journey a memorable one for all Americans, and five others are to go afar to woo the General's resolve. On what they will discover will affect their own psyches. It's also enough to get them killed if word reaches the General, and the long trip home brings unthinkable nightmares: Fear; Mistrust and Death. The novel is split into three books. Book one gives an insight into Bill Kaiser and Leo Rocko; both are misunderstood characters that have a special bond for the new America. In the second book, it's an introduction to a prominent freedom fighter; he wants justice for his miseries and will go at great lengths to succeed. The final book is all about survival. This gripping post cold war suspense is a voyage to bring fortune; love and change the rules
