Sinossi

"A deftly crafted thriller that kept me turning pages---through politics, money, and murder---to the ending I didn't see coming." - Chris DeRose, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Fighting Bunch.A political thriller, tied in to real events, about an apocalyptic threat to America that is ticking remorselessly in the background while Americans continue their daily routines, oblivious to the danger.For years, China's spy agency has been watching the United States rack up trillions of dollars in debt, waiting for the right moment to weaponize that debt to collapse the American government and install a Communist puppet regime.At the same time, suburban accountant Andrea Gartner has been an outspoken critic of the debt as a leader in the South Carolina state Republican Party.When the United States elects President Earl Murray, he brings Andrea into his government as budget director to solve America's debt problem. But before the nameplate is even installed on her office door, China strikes, engineering an American debt crisis that brings the country to the brink of collapse. Government operations come to a screeching halt. With the American hegemon on its knees, China violently seizes the opportunity to fulfill its territorial ambitions in Taiwan and the South China Sea.Thrust into the rapacious, cutthroat world of American politics and surrounded by crises on all sides, Andrea begins a desperate effort to save the United States. Arrayed against her are cynical politicians and belligerent military brass, some of whom just might be secret Chinese agents.Will Andrea be able to keep the United States alive to fight another day? Or will America drown in a sea of red ink at the hands of the Chinese and see its democratic government replaced by a Chinese Communist puppet regime?American life as we know it is about to be obliterated by a debt bomb. And the only person who can save the country is a suburban accountant.

Gallegher - A Newspaper Story

Richard Harding Davis

Gallegher: A Newspaper Story is a pulse-pounding tale of grit, courage, and the relentless chase for truth—told through the eyes of one of literature’s most unforgettable young heroes. 
Gallegher isn’t your ordinary office boy. Street-smart, fearless, and full of fire, he’s the smallest member of the Press newsroom…but also the one with the biggest heart for a breaking story. When a prominent lawyer is found murdered and the prime suspect vanishes without a trace, every reporter in Philadelphia is buzzing—but it’s Gallegher who catches the scent that could crack the case wide open. 
What begins as a routine night in the newsroom explodes into a high-stakes pursuit involving criminal masterminds, undercover clues, a secret fight club, and a desperate race through a freezing, snow-choked city. Armed with nothing but his wits, determination, and a soaked notebook, Gallegher must outrun danger, dodge the police, outsmart a fugitive—and somehow “beat the town” back to the newsroom before the presses roll. 
Packed with humor, suspense, and heart, this classic Richard Harding Davis adventure captures the roaring energy of old-school journalism and the timeless thrill of chasing a story no one else can get. 
Narrated with vivid charm and cinematic tension by John Young, this production brings Gallegher’s world to life like never before. 
A must-listen for fans of classic adventure, newspaper noir, and underdog heroes with unstoppable grit.
