Along Came a Lion

Journalist and author Lt. Col. Daniel Cheras (Retired) is investigating the mysterious billionaire genius Calvin Mayer, who has gained worldwide acclaim for his transformative innovations. Pursued relentlessly by the government, Mayer shrugs off persecutions and releases a radical cure for a terrible disease. Overnight, Mayer becomes a hero to millions, but his latest inventions raise troubling questions about the cost of progress.

As Mayer's technologies gain acclaim and change the course of history, Cheras finds himself in a race against time to uncover the truth behind the man and his staggering charisma that even grips Cheras’ son in cultish devotion. But as the stakes grow higher and the consequences of Mayer's actions become more extreme, Cheras is forced to confront the possibility that Mayer may be more dangerous than anyone realizes.

A sinister Chinese infiltration seizes an opportunity to destabilize a nation gripped in tribalism and plunges the United States into a Race War that the government seems powerless to stop. For reasons of his own, Mayer intervenes. Unleashing a virus that can determine a person's worthiness and a WMD that no one knows how to stop, Mayer's power threatens to change the world in ways no one can predict. Will Cheras be able to uncover the truth before it's too late, or will Mayer's transformative innovations lead to the downfall of civilization as we know it?
