An author that can generate the phrase “Blow it out your ass, Mr. President. Send in Vice President Winslow.” and make it believable gains my immediate applause and appreciation. To do so within a novel that so explicitly describes the pure evil wielded by the power brokers and administrators of our world and the degradations heaped on the rest of mankind with no thought of their own moral depravity, is genius.

The read is fast paced and the plot very well established and extremely believable. The possibilities should serve to frighten all of us.

I highly recommend this book for all Gulchers.

    O.A. also wrote a great review which was featured here on GG but apparently got overlooked. The link:

    In fact, just so you don't have to click the link and leave the page, here's O.A.'s review:

    Prime Deceit: What if the Fountain of Youth Fell Into the wrong Hands? (OA's Book Review)
    Book review, 12-5-16 Political satire, fiction
    Author, Robert A. Gore (A.K.A. straightlinelogic) 139 pages, ISBN 978-0-692-78335-1

    I really enjoyed this well written, short novel. It was a real page turner, compelling and short enough that I would have read it all the way through in one sitting, were it not for an unavoidable interruption.

    The premise of the story is very alluring, but not unimaginable and neither are the characters. It seemed all too plausible and terrible. I found it quite easy to suspend disbelief, root for the heroes and despise the villains. After only a few brief chapters into the story all I wanted, no, NEEDED, was a satisfying ending and it delivered! I would definitely recommend it.

    Happy Reading,
    O.A.

    Based on you description, I'm almost afraid to read it. Might give me nightmares. But, based on previous books, I'll buck up my courage, gird my loins and dive in.

    Thanks for the reminder and link. I just ordered. I may have to buy another copy of The Golden Pinnacle if my son doesn't return mine soon. He needs the lessons for his business but is too busy to read it.
