The Tsar's Puppet

In this fast-paced political thriller, global espionage collides with high-stakes power plays that reach from the corridors of Washington to the shadowy streets of Europe. When a covert operation unravels, a seasoned operative is thrust into a deadly game of deception, betrayal, and shifting alliances. As the truth closes in, nothing—and no one—is what it seems. Written in the spirit of a classic James Bond novel, this story delivers relentless suspense, razor-sharp intrigue, and twists that will keep readers guessing until the final page. America is on the verge of an Apocalypse, a social, moral, and political upheaval—a collapse into chaos with violence and civil war erupting, where neighbor is pitted against neighbor, and there is "blood in the streets" in cities across the country. Only one man: Billy Tidewater (vigilante for justice, ex-Army Ranger, CIA black ops specialist) and one woman: Rosario Brown (a crusading, hard-charging journalist) can stop the coming Armageddon—end the rampant lawlessness and corruption, the rapid descent into anarchy, political autocracy, and a despotic, Fascist-style police state.
