• The King of Fear

• A Garrett Reilly Thriller, Book 2
• By: Drew Chapman
• Narrated by: George Newbern

The gripping sequel to The Ascendant: an action thriller starring a bond trader turned anti-hero. Garrett Reilly, an unlikely patriot, can identify threats against America from both within and beyond the nation’s borders. But now the whole world economy is at risk.

Garrett Reilly sees what others don’t: numbers, stereotypes, a nation on the verge of collapse. His unique talent saved nations from 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 chain of events that could lead to economic disaster in America: bank closures, empty grocery shelves, national currency becoming worthless. Total chaos can engulf society in just a few days. Garrett and his team of Ascension reunite to face enemies from all sides: a wounded Russia determined to hold on to its crumbling empire, a Garrett-centered cyber genius, a ready-to-go seductive woman willing to do anything to establish a new world order. In the midst of this, Garrett must also confront his own demons: class rage, growing paranoia, and a dependence he can’t seem to shake. After all, it only takes one card and the whole family falls….

A hero who completely disregards rules and boundaries, conjuring genius Drew Chapman gives readers “a wild ride through the headlines of our times” (Kirkus Reviews of The Ascendant), and this sequel will not let you down.

Very interesting ideas, though occasionally tedious. I did enjoy it and would recommend it to those who live in an information world.
