For more than 50 years a secret organization of military officers has manipulated national policy.  Now, they have reached a point in which they want to take over the country.  First discovery comes because Trace is writing a fictional book about some of the events without understanding what it is all about.  Or is it fiction?  Events become intense as she and Boomer begin to realize the country may be in peril.Bob Mayer has created a compelling plot with characters that are mostly 3-dimensional and situations that are believable.  This is a story of conspiracy and of doing that which is necesaary even though it smacks of evil.  The ending is satisfying, at least to me.  But what would you do?  There is a wealth of descriptive material, especially about military capabilities, that add to the story.  This is a gripping novel of suspense, political and military type action with a twist of morality.  This is a work of fiction, but in our time could something like this happen or is it too far out?  Reviewed by the author of The Children's Story, A Novel Not for Children (about good and evil).
