About the Book

“The Beijing Games” (http://BeijingGamesBook.com) is a break-neck international thriller depicting a conspiracy to shock the U.S. economy. Dubbed the Savoy Imperative by its unlikely cabal of Washington insiders, the chairman of a giant U.S. retail chain, the Director-General of an ancient French private bank, and maverick Chinese Communist Party and People’s Liberation Army leaders, the clandestine group is determined to gain control of global trade. By merging China’s largest manufacturing conglomerate with BoxMart, the free-world’s fastest-growing multi-national retailer, their common black goal is to end all restrictions on America’s Chinese imports, and dominate the spending habits of millions of Americans for years to come.

Set in 2008 and early 2009, an unlikely hero, Justin Gatt, a 48-year old failed businessman-scientist, is unkowingly thrust into the global chaos as the Summer Olympics in Beijing and US elections unfold. Gatt and three remarkable women from Boston, Sichuan Province and the Winnebago Reservation in Nebraska, barely escape assassination attempts as they risk their careers and lives to help Justin expose the planned attacks againsts America’s vital financial and agricultural sectors, and the systematic unraveling of America’s manufacturing capacity. Gatt is too late to prevent a US and global trade crisis, but decides to emerge from hiding—into the scope-view of a sniper’s rifle—to prevent a human pandemic and warn the 2008 president-elect of a deadly threat.
