In this riveting amalgam of political intrigue, poignant romance, and bare-knuckled action, six friends risk everything to thwart an international Nazi conspiracy. In the financial devastation of the 1930s, a greedy, power-hungry group of German industrialists plot to usher in the National Socialist Party in order to rearm Germany and reap the financial rewards. Thus rises Hitler. With Hitler in power, the Six Sentinels, graduates of an elite American doctoral program, uncover the industrialists’ plan to hoard hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal war profits. Using their financial and familial connections around the globe, they work to foil the machinations of the financiers of the Third Reich. In a daring strategy of Robin Hood-style thievery, the sentinels put their lives on the line to serve justice – and thus become embroiled in a dangerous and violent international conspiracy.
Book 2 – Crude Deception
An oil supply controlled by corrupt hands, murderous assassins who will do anything to keep that power intact—and a group of friends with a wild plan to thwart them all.
As World War II recovery begins, word gets out that the heads of the biggest oil companies in the world are holding secret meetings. The Sentinels—the same counterespionage group that captured millions from Nazi-controlled corporations—learn of this ‘Oil Club’ and its plan to perpetuate its control over 90 percent of the world’s future oil production.
To prevent this dangerous concentration of power in the hands of seven incestuous companies, the Sentinels develop a plan to break the club’s grip. It will require the cooperation of some of the world’s most powerful private investors, government officials, and Middle Eastern leaders, plus the help of grassroots America. To implement their plan, the Sentinels must rally support over four continents while eluding the constant threat of ruthless assassins hired by the Oil Club.

Four years after the bursting of the great consumer debt bubble, the country is dangerously overleveraged and underemployed.

In an environment of stagnated government leadership, five highly accomplished entrepreneurial leaders step forward. They hope to solve the economic problems by implementing “Employ American,” a step-by-step strategy designed to restore the competitiveness of American manufacturers. Sovereign governments, offshore manufacturers, foreign oil producers, and domestic power-generating utility companies are threatened by the possible realization of the “Employ American” plan. Their efforts to prevent the Sentinels from achieving their goal are constantly, menacingly present.
