Publisher's summary

Charles Knight is released from an especially unpleasant stay in prison, only to rejoin a society overwhelmed by looting, riots, arson, viral panic, mob-think, and economic decay...with a presidential election in the balance. The cronies are in charge, abetted by their media lackeys and political puppets. They’ll do anything to get what they want. How can Charles stop the deadly crimes - crimes that push millions into poverty, servitude, and ignorance - committed by those who control the law, print the money, and confuse the minds of the people? Will a highly unorthodox presidential candidate and a cryptocurrency network that turns the surveillance state on its head be enough to expose and defeat them? Or do some people just need to be killed?

The cronies are moving fast. Charles Knight needs to move faster.

Thriller!

Loads of wisdom heaped between the lines. I hoped for closure though I’m consulted by the implication of yet another adventure brewing in the saga of virtue over corruption.

Loved seeing Charles & Rainbow's depth grow.

I love the whole High Ground series but this book knocks it out of the park. The timely nature of the story is also a treat.

Very well written, hard to put down!

Great story, hard to put down. It also seems to be quite plausible given all that is currently going on politically in our country and around the world!

To real to be non-fiction

What a riveting story. Charles Knight is the hero we would all like to have on out side. The P-net is needed in our society today. To hold people accountable for their miss deeds. I can just imagine how a blockchain like P-net would put the fear of God into the crooked politicians. I think it’s a doable project and someone should put it into action.

Startling, vivid, thrilling

This is one of the most emotionally intense books I've ever read. The story is packed with excitement, and beyond that, it carries heavy messages that make you think deeply about our world. If you want a wild ride that makes you feel each emotion you can imagine, this is the book you want.

Better than Clancy & Patterson

An amazing series that brilliantly puts together a thrilling story within context of today’s society, current events and wide, ranging perspective on problems, causes and solutions. Sure to become a big seller with a large loyal, following for Charles.
