A bold reimagining of The Great Gatsby for our digital age—where power, politics, and manipulation collide

When former investigative journalist Noah Cohen reluctantly joins his cousin's high-profile presidential campaign as a speechwriter, he's drawn into a world where truth is malleable and loyalty is currency. But what begins as a compromise becomes a dangerous game of power when he discovers the campaign's connection to enigmatic data kingpin Julian Graves.

Behind his Georgetown mansion and calculated charm, Graves has built something far more sinister than a consulting firm—a sophisticated psychological operation designed to manipulate voters by exploiting their deepest fears. As Noah unravels the web of foreign money, intelligence connections, and technological manipulation, he finds himself caught between family loyalty and journalistic integrity.

Like Nick Carraway before him, Noah becomes both observer and participant in a tragic story of ambition and obsession. Julian Graves—once James Gatz from struggling Ashton, Pennsylvania—has reinvented himself and built an empire, all to recapture what he lost years ago. His green light isn't across the bay but across the Potomac—a security beacon that symbolizes everything just beyond his reach.

When a campaign staffer dies in a suspicious \"accident\" and federal agents start circling, Noah must decide how much he's willing to risk to expose a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. The American Dream has evolved into the American Mirage—a shimmering illusion of democracy that masks a darker reality.

AMERICAN MIRAGE is a haunting political thriller and masterful reimagining of Fitzgerald's classic, exploring the corruption of ideals and the price of truth in a world where democracy itself has become a commodity to be bought, sold, and manipulated.

An Afghanistan War Military Thriller

When the system abandons those who served, one man will seek justice outside the law.

Air Force Pararescueman Nathan Calloway has lived by one motto for nineteen years: \"That Others May Live.\" But during the final eighteen days of America's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, he witnesses a betrayal that shatters everything he believed about duty and honor.

As evacuation flights depart Hamid Karzai International Airport, Nate watches Afghan allies—interpreters who saved American lives, doctors who treated wounded soldiers, intelligence assets who risked everything for coalition forces—systematically abandoned by the bureaucrats managing evacuation lists. Promises made in blood are broken with keystrokes. Lives are sacrificed for political convenience.

When ISIS-K's devastating attack at Abbey Gate kills thirteen American servicemembers and over 170 Afghan civilians, Nate and his partner Ryan Matthews are forced to make an impossible choice: follow orders that abandon allies, or violate everything they've sworn to uphold in service of everything they actually believe.

In the smoke and chaos of that August day, a loyal soldier's faith dies—and something far more dangerous is born.

From institutional betrayal comes personal justice. From broken promises comes a new mission.

Set against the authentic backdrop of the Afghanistan withdrawal, Broken Faith explores the moral injury that transforms good soldiers into men willing to seek justice outside official channels. When systems fail those who trusted them most, individual honor becomes the last line of defense.

Perfect for fans of Jack Carr, Brad Taylor, and Mark Greaney

When the system fails those who served it, one man will cross every line to find the truth.

Former Air Force Pararescueman Nathan Calloway lived by a simple creed: These Things We Do, That Others May Live. But when his best friend and fellow PJ Ryan Matthews dies in a suspicious \"accidental drowning,\" Nate discovers that some people are willing to kill to keep their secrets buried.

Ryan was an expert swimmer and combat veteran—men like him don't just drown in shallow water. As Nate digs deeper into the official story, he uncovers a conspiracy reaching from defense contractors to the highest levels of military command. Ryan had stumbled onto something about their final deployment in Afghanistan, something that powerful people will do anything to hide.

The system Nate once trusted is now hunting him.

With his ex-wife and teenage daughter caught in the crossfire, Nate must use every skill that made him elite to expose the truth. But seeking justice means operating outside the law, crossing lines he swore he'd never cross, and becoming something he never wanted to be.

How far would you go to honor a fallen brother?

From the dusty mountains of Afghanistan to the streets of Albuquerque, These Things We Do is a relentless thriller about loyalty, betrayal, and the price of seeking justice when the system has failed. Perfect for fans of Jack Carr and Mark Greaney.

In the final hours of her last patrol shift, one rookie's true test begins.

For Deputy Celia Mendonca, the last night before joining the detective division was supposed to be routine, a quiet farewell to patrol before starting her dream assignment. But in law enforcement, plans rarely survive first contact with reality.

When an elderly man with dementia goes missing in freezing temperatures, Celia's tracking skills become his only hope for survival. Hours later, intervening in a volatile domestic violence situation leads to threats that follow her beyond the badge. And as dawn approaches, the discovery of a high-level cartel meth lab turns her final patrol into a desperate fight for survival.

With her shoulder throbbing from a suspect's attack and crucial evidence at risk, Celia must draw on everything she's learned from police academy training to the hard lessons taught by her missing mentor, Hope Novak. Her instincts and skills will be tested to their limits as she confronts the true weight of the oath she's sworn to uphold.

As morning light breaks over Miller's Diner, Celia faces the most important decision of her career. Has the night's chaos proven she's ready for the detective shield, or revealed wounds too fresh to ignore? Some calls to duty demand more than just answering, they require committing your entire self to the path ahead.

From the author of \"Cult of Personality\" comes a pulse-pounding novella about one night that will change everything.
