The Patriot Betrayal

A new American President has been elected on a wave of fear: fear of war with an emerging China and re-emerging Russia, and the old wars on terror and drugs.The government's greatest concern is not al Qaeda, ISIS, Iran, China or Russia; rather, it is deemed to be American citizens who might rise up and attempt to overthrow an increasingly totalitarian government.There are those who know the wars are trumped up and an excuse for spying on U.S. citizens who are trying to expose the extent of the program.But whistleblowers and witnesses are being killed faster than they can be brought in to challenge the legality of the Patriot Act and the extent of NSA spying.All that stands in the way of the president's plan to further consolidate his position - and reward the bankers and corporations who funded his campaigns - is the danger that citizens might rise up and overthrow the government.The President is being kick-backed millions of dollars by the private prison system to pass legislation against any individual or group fomenting unrest, thereby keeping the prisons full. The definition of what constitutes a legal citizen is narrowing greatly.Paul Decker must break the former U.S. President out of prison with the help of a beautiful whistleblower now on the run, a CIA agent on medical leave, the leader of a motorcycle gang, and his ever-present East European hacker, then defeat the antagonists in the only way possible – with the rule of law. I am a political activist who has written position papers for the Carter and Clinton White Houses. And I am now working with the Elizabeth Warren Campaign. My work on social issues has received recognition directly from the President of Mexico. I have written 30 novels, mostly international political thrillers. These are fiction based on fact. I am dedicated to exposing the truth, uncovering corruption, waste, and ignorance. Due to my Master's Degree in International Affairs from the University of Pennsylvania, I am well qualified to do this work. I am not in it for the money. I am trying to wake people up, touch hearts, change minds, have them see and understand circumstances in the world they may not have been aware of. I want to make a positive difference in the world. Thank you. .Paul Decker: Delta Force, Seal Team 6, CIA, Code 6 operative. Takes orders from a single person: The President of the United States. He takes the assignments no one else will touch. But he is a 21st century solider, just as likely to use his computer skills: hacking, installing viruses, entering key stroke loggers, infiltration and exfiltration of secure sites, assassination.His assignments send him all over world where he usually teams up with a beautiful woman to compete an assignment. He's been shot, stabbed, beat up but never beaten.When Paul completes an assignment, the country is better off. But not Paul. His weakness is alcohol which he falls on when the memories of his failed marriage and estranged children overwhelm him. For having given all to the military, there is little left for his own well-being.I write political, military, crime and scientific thrillers. All my stories come right off the front pages of the major magazines and newspapers.I do not write books that simply entertain. My stories touch hearts and change minds, make readers laugh and cry, inspire people.My stories straddle the line between fiction and non-fiction.
