PRAISE FOR DECISIVE ENDGAME

  • Mr Carlson has taken this series to a new level of awesome! It's also scary in that it's so real one could almost imagine this happening given our current political climate. I definitely have a new favorite author.

THE STORY

The election is over, and the attempt to thwart the oncoming coup has failed. With the ringleader exposed as a powerful manipulator, the stakes are even higher. While the cabal has positioned itself to cement its stranglehold on the new president-elect, journalist Tierra Campos is left with one more daunting puzzle to solve – why she’s still alive.

With the transition beginning and the victor suffocating under the crushing weight of extortion, the online news organization Front Burner must again fight for its survival. Elements in the government are determined to silence while training their sights on another target – FBI agent and heroine Victoria Larsen, who has now been labeled a domestic terrorist and America’s most wanted fugitive.

When the noose tightens around Victoria as she uncovers concrete evidence of the plot, Tierra hatches a desperate, last-ditch plan to exploit the only crack in the powerful cabal’s armor. New friends, old enemies, and ardent adversaries must unite for a common purpose to expose the coup and save the presidency while not shattering the people’s confidence in their government. 

As the calendar marches toward the Electoral College vote that will solidify the cabal’s control, Tierra’s and Victoria’s ad-hoc alliance must roll the dice to stave off disaster. Everything will come down to one moment where the only possible result is checkmate. In a months-long struggle defined by countless moves and countermoves, which side will prevail when both sides play for keeps in the decisive endgame?
