“Inception” by author Mike Lieber is “An absorbing novel of political intrigue and patriotism”
For immediate release July 21, 2009
It started with a lecture. In a small Maine town, college professor and Army National Guard officer Sean May delivered his impassioned remarks to a group that included Martin Lochridge, a patriot and retired billionaire, who was searching in earnest for a way to leave a lasting legacy, to make a measurable and far-reaching impact with his fortune.
Fast-forward ten years. Major May, while serving his third active-duty tour in the Iraq war, is injured in an insurgent rocket attack in Baghdad, and evacuated to Walter Reed Hospital in Washington. Frustrated by his inadequate treatment and angered by the poor conditions he observes, he walks away. Out on the cold, unforgiving streets of the capital city, with little money and still suffering the effects of a head injury that has robbed him of most of his memory, May carries with him a device, which, unbeknownst to him, holds damning evidence of a crime ring involving ruthless government contractors and persons occupying the highest offices in the nation. When Virginia Burress reluctantly offers to help the hungry and homeless vet, she becomes entangled in May’s plight, as together they become prey in a desperate hunt by persons who will stop at nothing to protect their power, prestige and wealth.
But Martin Lochridge and his secret guild have other plans for May - plans that could forever change the United States of America, perhaps alter the destiny of the entire world. First, though, he must extricate May and his unwitting companion from their perilous quagmire.
In a recent interview the author said, " "Inception" tells the story of billionaire philanthropist, Martin Lochridge, who believes the best legacy he can leave humanity is a United States of America that truly fulfills the ideals of the Founding Fathers. To accomplish this, he and the group of his creation, "Ops Populi" (meaning "power to the people"), believe government must be reformed at its most fundamental level: the constitution that created our republic…I have been researching Inception for over 20 years, going all the way back to graduate school when the idea first came to me. Political science — particularly American government — is another passionate interest of mine, so I have continued my studies more or less throughout most of my adult life. The maturation of the internet has created enormous — and unprecedented — potential for civic participation in government, not to mention a seemingly unlimited resource for any writer, especially one who writes about politics."
What people are saying …
"What some people give for their country is life changing. "Inception" tells the success story of retired billionaire and army officer Sean May. When an injury in Iraq sends him on a spiral onto the streets poor and destitute, his only chance for happiness may be one caring woman and a piece of evidence that could damn several corrupt individuals higher up. "Inception" is an absorbing novel of political intrigue and patriotism." By Midwest Book Review
"Inception" is a real page-turner. Multiple sub-plots deftly interwoven. Mike Lieber has obviously done his research. (Having spent time in the Army followed by a career with the Federal Government dealing with military issues, I can vouch for the accuracy of many of the book’s details.) I was even motivated to re-read the Constitution after an unpatriotic lapse of many years. There is obviously a sequel coming. I’ll try to be first in line. "Super Debut Novel" By Richard L. Wight
