The blistering sequel to "The Ascendant" An action-packed thriller starring a bond trader turned antihero. Unlikely patriot Garrett Reilly can identify threats against America from both inside and outside the nation s borders. But now the whole world s economy is at risk
Garrett Reilly sees what others do not: numbers, patterns, a nation on the brink of collapse. His unique talents saved countries from falling into a world war in "The Ascendant." But it also made him a marked man marked by terrorist groups; marked by the US Government.
In "The King of Fear," Garrett recognizes a string of events that could lead to economic Armageddon in the US: banks closing, grocery shelves lying empty, the nation s currency rendered worthless. Total chaos could engulf society within a matter of days. Garrett and the Ascendant team reunite to face enemies on all sides: a wounded Russia bent on keeping its crumbling empire in place, a cyber genius fixated on Garrett, a femme fatale willing to do anything to establish a new world order. In the midst of this, Garrett must also confront his own demons: his class rage, growing paranoia, and a dependency that he cannot seem to shake. After all, it only takes one card to make the whole house fall
A hero with complete disregard for rules and boundaries, Drew Chapman s rogue genius gives readers a wild ride through the headlines of our times ("Kirkus Reviews" on "The Ascendant") and this sequel will not disappoint."
