Their objective is to form a new world order with Vritra's remains coupled with geoengineering experiments at the hands of a technological, evil mastermind, Jagmohan Gyan, based in New York City plot to topple the free world ahead of the imminent 2024 Presidential Election imperiling the nation and the entire planet.

Alongside his best friend and fellow stellar agent, Singh Puneet Sherpa, they both must work together with the entire EJFS to put a stop to the Shadow State before they attempt to accomplish their terrible goal. The race against time continues as the superagency encounters many dangers and obstacles in their quest to retain integrity, honesty, and justice in the political season while doing their best to protect humanity.

I just finished Michael Beasley's second book of his trilogy series.
It was a page turner and often kept me up past my normal bedtime.
He and I have become acquainted together through the social media platform, 'Truth Social, and it's awesome to now be friends.
The genre isn't my normal choice for entertainment reading, but it quickly grew on me and I couldn't wait to tackle this episode.
The storylines and plot twists often mirrored the world's corruption and political unrest.
We could use an Elite Justice Force Squad today.
Could we be that lucky?

Another thrilling installment in the Elite Justice Force Squad Series. Set one Year after the events of the first book, the Author takes us back into the fantastical and smart world he created. A thrilling sequel that proves to be even more action packed and well written than it’s predecessor . In a time of bland sequels that fall short, the shadow state is a refreshing and exciting read sure to captivate the audience and leave you waiting on the edge of your seat for the next installment.
