By Means of Peace by Don Johnston
In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, one man’s promise of peace becomes humanity’s greatest threat.
Reuben Rogov, a charismatic third-party President, emerges as a beacon of hope in troubled times. He brokers peace in the Middle East, faces down global superpowers, and conquers both the border crisis and a deadly pandemic. As the world hails him a sociopolitical messiah, Rogov ascends to the position of world dictator.
Darien and Marisa, a young couple from Houston, find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a rapidly changing political landscape. Marisa is drawn into the heart of the new world order in Washington, and their relationship is tested by distance, loyalty, and mounting suspicions about the true nature of Rogov’s regime.
This gripping novel serves as a stark warning about the consequences of unchecked power and the seductive allure of false peace.
Kirkus Reviews hails it as “A chilling, futuristic tale of freedom lost.” Don’t miss this thought-provoking thriller that will leave you pondering long after you’ve turned the last page.
