The Great Game
by D. R. Bell
Chickens came home to roost in September of 2019. After years of patient preparation, a China-led block of countries stages an overnight financial coup to unseat the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Fortunes are made and lost in a matter of hours. But some have more far-ranging plans than financial gain.
Computer engineer David Ferguson has no idea that a chance meeting with a friendly stranger in the airport will change everything. Suddenly, he is running for his life, without knowing why or from whom. In trying to evade his pursuers, David accidentally involves Maggie Sappin, a graduate student and a transplant from Kiev. To save themselves, they have to uncover the mystery behind a financial crisis and political upheaval that followed. From Los Angeles to Texas, Kiev, Moscow, New York and Hawaii, the body count mounts along with the layers of deception in a global conspiracy as two innocent people become key players in—The Great Game.
