Defaults

by T.I. Wade

The corporate world is driven by avarice and power-mongering. At the center of it is The Banker, who is not a very nice person. He manipulates the system to quietly build an empire and to implement his plan for world domination. The story weaves through recent events, causing you to question uncomfortably whether there is in fact a coordinated strategy at work.
Using the CEO’s of the world’s biggest banks, The Banker accumulates more than a trillion dollars in property ownership. Long before 9/11 a plan is put into action, and rears its ugly head on September 11, 2001 in New York. The mortgage collapse seven years later in 2008 is phase two of The Banker’s plan. In 2014-15, the fickle mortgage industry collapses again with property foreclosures totaling 36 percent of the total property in the U.S. The two orchestrated property collapses quietly leave The Banker in control of more than 51 percent of the total land mass of the United States of America.
What are his goals as the country’s major land owner? The plan has nearly succeeded, but a few hackers and FBI agents stand between him and an Economic Coup of the whole of The United States of America, and most of the western world.
Their action-packed resistance provides hope that we are not simply pawns in a grand scheme.
The first novel in The Banker’s Club trilogy "Defaults" is guaranteed to get your heart racing, and sets the stage for the unbelievable realization that one man might control the economy of the western world.

I started reading T I Wades books with America One and have started branching into his other works. Now, I will admit, when I first heard the premise for this book from his Facebook page, I was doubtful that this would be any good. I’m glad to say that I was wrong, way wrong. With the threads of different characters intertwining, touching or just passing together, Mr. Wade did a wonderful job in this story. The only surprise I had during the story was that he did not include phreaking (phone hacking), especially with the background of several of his characters. Since this is not a common technique for most, it is somewhat understandable, but I think it would have led to a little more authenticity. Now please do not get me wrong, I freely admit that parts of the story gave me chills with how well it tied into actual events and his explanation of how/why.

Most know I hate writing reviews and I only write them if I find the story one of a kind (good or bad), this is definitely an excellent one!
