The United States is over 35 trillion-dollars in debt ... and that number is rising. What if the foundations of American finance suddenly collapsed? What if the cash in your wallet was suddenly worthless? Who, or what, could the nation turn to if our currency was no longer backed up by the “Full faith and credit of the United States”.
How best to respond to those questions is the premise of the novel “The WALL”, by author Jeff Hayman.
To address the nation’s excessive inflation, high interest rates, and the rising gulf between the have’s and have-nots, a new financial infrastructure - the WALL - is rolled out by tech entrepreneur, Warren Hastings. But the success of the WALL threatens the status quo maintained by corrupt politicians, greedy money moguls, and murderous drug cartels.
Follow the team as Hastings and his fellow disruptors at the Data Operations Center challenge the nation’s financial syndicates. The action will seesaw from the Chesapeake Bay to the US and Mexican border. Along the way, we will meet unscrupulous politicians, nefarious financiers, no-named assassins, cartel leaders, crazy helicopter pilots, skilled hackers, and one hero dog named Piper.
By placing their faith in the American people, Hastings and crew hope to demonstrate how the good guys might, just might, win for a change.
The WALL is a FinTech thriller based on real-world economic concerns, spiraling national financial projections, and maybe ... a chance to prevent the impending collapse of the US Dollar.
