Blurb:
A rising star. A family betrayal. A deadly game.
David Shepherd, a charismatic senator with a growing following, is invited into the inner circle of the White House.
His connection with the President's daughter ignites a passionate romance, but their happiness is shattered by a chilling discovery.
As David's popularity soars, he becomes a target for those who seek to silence him.
A series of assassination attempts leaves him questioning the loyalty of those closest to him, including the woman he loves.
With his life on the line, David must uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power.
But can he trust his instincts when the truth may destroy the people he cares about most?
Will David sacrifice his own safety to expose the corruption plaguing the nation?
Or will he choose to protect those he loves, even if it means turning a blind eye to the darkness lurking in the heart of government?
Dead State is the second book in this fast-paced, action-packed Christian thriller series. Think David Baldacci, James Patterson, Mark Dawson, and Lee Child meet Colleen Coble, and Lynette Eason. This is a modern-day re-telling of the King David story. The establishment will stop at nothing to stop David Shepherd's rise to power - and assassination isn't off the table.
My Review:
Dead State is filled with nonstop action that kept me racing through chapter after chapter as I was drawn deeper into the story. Dead State is a novel about politics and religion, plus so much more. It is an intriguing tale of power.
David Shepherd is a man with a big heart. He is a senator who works for the people, or at least he tries to whenever he can or is allowed. He strives never to make promises he can’t fulfill, or to do his best to make them come true. He is not out for glory or to put himself in the limelight; no, David thinks about the people.
David is becoming a favorite with the people due to all the good things he is attempting to accomplish for them. However, someone out there doesn’t like what he is trying to do and wants to stop him forever. David’s campaign is not only putting him in danger, but also the people he loves. Someone wants David to keep silent. Will he keep quiet for the ones he loves, or even for himself? Or will he do what is right for the majority? What will he choose?
What an intense read that kept me glued to the pages as the action unfolded with each turn. I enjoyed reading Dead State even more than I did Slingshot, the first book in the David Shepherd Thriller series. I am now eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series.
I highly recommend Dead State to all thriller fans! Grab a copy of Dead State today!
