“Is there something in the air here in Washington, DC that drives everyone insane?” Leila Freyan thought. The twenty-seven year old math genius knew Kirk Danner was a keeper of secrets. Only now did she realize how dangerous those secrets were. The plan is viable, she thought, but he might be crazy. Could he be trusted with such power? Could anyone? The Order’s plan to plunge her world into a new Dark Age was accelerating. But Leila Freyan’s generation was unhampered by the ghosts of the past. She realized instantly she’d need the talent of her generation to stop them. Freyan’s on her own mission now. Nothing is as it seems in this political thriller, and now we are taken into the heart of the issues facing all Americans and what to do about it.
After a career spanning over forty years in national security, politics and international finance, WH “Bill” Wisecarver turned to writing.
In his most recent novel: The Dawning, he fuses historical fiction with the issues facing modern society in a fast-paced action thriller. In shocking and sometimes terrifying detail, Wisecarver provokes the reader to embrace the power of the human spirit—to look beyond the dangers of the ghosts of the past. It’s not about revolution, it’s about evolution.
Born and raised in San Francisco, CA., Bill's professional experience spans both the public and private sectors. A former US Marine and TOPGUN graduate, he served three tours in the western Pacific with exchange tours in Japan and South Korea. He lectured at the USMC Command and Staff College before becoming a national security advisor on a Senate Leadership staff and Counsel for the Senate Armed Services Committee. Bill has also served in positions at NASA and the Pentagon. An attorney and financier, he has over twenty years’ experience in international business.
In addition to writing, Bill continues to provide counsel on national security, constitutional, and economic issues.
He is the recipient of numerous military honors and distinctions and has published several works on national security topics.
Wisecarver weaves a tale of history, conspiracy and fantasy artfully into a tapestry that tells a terrifying story. Some of his analogies and "theories" hit a bit too close to the truth and really make you think. This is not a beach read or some quick mind candy fluff, this is a book that makes you think. Think about the world we live in, the way governments are run and how we allow what we allow to happen. It may be science fiction but it has a very well thought out thread of truth running through it. The characters are well developed and the writing draws you in.
If you like History, conspiracy theories and a little bit of fantasy this is a good read.
