Hernandez and his wife are about to live through a nightmare. Let’s take a look at the not-too-distant future from a different angle, wherein the very sovereignty of a socially chaotic, financially collapsed United States goes onto the trading block – and who’s doing the bartering….

This story was born from best-selling author and investigative journalist Jerome Corsi’s essay at World Net Daily titled China poised to play debt card—for US land. John L Work took the premise of a United States in so deep a debt to China that it trades the debt for US soil. The year is 2016 and the political scene picks up where it left off in A WELL-REGULATED VENGEANCE.
Once again Work sets one man’s story against world affairs and once again does it brilliantly.
Although A WELL-REGULATED VENGEANCE is a stand alone novel it is also a precursor to the three-part THE BARTER series, of which this is the first.
Benito Hernandez, a military veteran, has been working at a chicken processing plant for some years. The kids are grown up and have left home, so there’s just him and his wife Monica. The deteriorating political situation in the US is seen through his story and his eyes. And it’s horrific.
Work knows how to keep you turning the page and holding your breath.

Short but INTENSE. John L. Work is earning an impressive reputation for one-sitting thrill rides.
His book "THE BARTER" is filled with prophetic warnings. This story of "faction" recalls actual 2nd Amendment restrictive legislation passed in Colorado, along with sinister legislation passed by our nation's Congress of the future, with the encouragement of our president who is STILL IN POWER as of 2018. Welcome to a plausible, horrific future.
The story's premise is based on an actual article published in January, 2013, but ignored by the mainstream media.
John's tale will compel you to stock up on food and ammo.
Sure hope there's a Part 2. WOLVERINES!
