About the Author: Joaquin De Torres
Joaquin De Torres was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from high school, he joined the U.S. Navy at 17 where he trained in the field of naval intelligence, and earned his B.S. and M.A. in International Management while on active duty. He completed his final tour at the National Security Agency (NSA), and retired from the Navy with 21 years.
His experience with military game changers, along with his adventures within the covert labyrinth of the Defense Department helped create his eclectic collection of heroes and villains, and the dreadful situations they are thrust into.
In the spirit of Michael Crichton and Jules Verne, De Torres sees a world where technology is the elixir and, ultimately, the inhumane curse of Mankind. His visions of that curse are graphic and disturbing, forcing his characters to come to grips with their flaws and fears in order to summon their courage to survive.
De Torres is an English professor and freelance writer living with his family in Croatia.
The second American Revolution lasted just three years.
For three years the nation experienced an economic tsunami, political stability, judicial equality and social prosperity on levels never before seen in our history.
The secret society of assassins – PIPER’S, INC. – America’s vigilant watchdog, had all but eliminated the puppet masters of our corrupt Congress, eviscerated the overseers of a degenerate criminal justice system, and culled most of the corporate Capitalist oligarchy.
So terrifyingly efficient were PIPER’S, INC.’s methods of retribution that the nation entered a cultural renaissance, and the ‘American Dream’ - once a national joke - became an international success story. But the story has changed.
Under President Sanchez, a new Supreme Court and a political system guided by a rewritten Constitution - corruption, duplicity and the national crime rate plummeted.
This left PIPER’S, INC. running out of criminals, missions and relevance. Now downsizing its once-feared yet celebrated Ghost forces, it’s now become a particularly opportune time to turn the tables and destroy the heralded organization for good.
From within.
A force unseen throughout history has waited for this very moment. A slow poison now seeps into the cracks of the organization’s once-mighty armor.
An Achilles Heel has been discovered, and after three years, the betrayal of PIPER’S, INC., and the utter destruction of its place in history, now lay in the hands of just one man.
