by Dan Klasing

A modern conspiracy of Southerners, "The Klass" has successfully stolen top secret government technology. Their ninety year old plan is to take control of several Southern states. Now they have access to technology that provides the power they need to prevail. This, the second book of The Klass series, sees The Klass and its leaders, The Doyens, exploit their new weapon and make final preparations.
But, four college students pursue their suspicions that a dangerous secret society exists on their college campus - leading them closer to revealing the existence of The Klass for the first time.
How far is The Klass willing to go to protect its secret plans? And will The Klass take its final steps toward creating a new nation?

About the author

I live in Alabama. Yes, I know. Stereotypes abound about the south in general and Alabama in particular. Some are true. Some are not. I graduated from Auburn University and then attended law school at The University of Alabama. There’s a big football rivalry between the two schools you may have heard about. It’s a major thing down here.

For almost thirty years I practiced law all over the state. No need to bore you with that, except for the fact that my job allowed me to meet real-life characters of all types. Some good. Some bad. And some were just plain outlandish. Not surprisingly, I often develop characters based on the interesting people I met through the years.

I’m still a lawyer, at least technically. But now I’m doing something I truly love – writing. As an attorney, I wrote all the time. Mostly, mind-numbingly detailed legal motions and briefs and such. Now, I can write what I want.

I have an awesome wife who puts up with my eccentricities ¬– writing late into the night or hanging out in the garage fiddling with old cars. She is a lawyer too, but a much better one than I ever was and beautiful to boot.
I’m a lucky guy.
I hope you enjoy the books!

Like Tyros, I won this as part of a Goodreads contest and was very pleased to have done so as it introduced me to a nice new series. Read in just a day by the pool (and into the evening) on Christmas vacation, the book had a good pick-up from the first in the series and a cliffhanger to lead the series into its third edition, which I will look forward to purchasing upon release. Certainly a few instances in both Tyros and Doyens where the copy editors missed the corrections on names as part of conversations, which caused a bit of a hang-up when processing, but you quickly figure out the intended character and move on with the plot.
