White King and the Battle of America: the Endgame Lee Kessler

At the conclusion of "White King Rising," chess champion Andy Weir and his computer-gaming partner, Brian Washington Carver, discovered the Trojan Horse destroying the United States from within and created a computer game that defeated the shocking enemy plan. However, they were too late to prevent Samir Taghavi, Al Qaeda's propaganda chief, from compromising an unsuspecting American media. In the final story of the trilogy, retired CIA analyst James Mikolas risks arrest by forcing disgraced media mogul Bud Walker to help him uncover who had sent that Trojan Horse. Their quest places them at the nexus of global terrorism, pharmaceutical cartels, international finance, and slave trading--leading them to the top level of the three-dimensional chess game of "White King and the Doctor." Masterminding the coordinated attack, international banker and humanitarian Sir Harley Grantham-Jones has sent the United States and the world careening toward a new Dark Age. Mikolas and Walker join forces with Andy, Brian, and a collection of unlikely heroes from the streets of Compton and the wilderness of Montana. Taking their stand in the "last best place," the race is on to pull the United States back from the abyss before the enemy makes his checkmate move. "White King and the Battle of America: the Endgame" reveals a very plausible "history in our time." It takes you to the brink of slavery and then--with a breathtakingly simple solution--into a hopeful, possible New World.
