Rachel Echon, a foreign policy analyst, has no idea that her whirlwind romance and marriage to Jackson Perry will take her life in a different direction. The son of the former US secretary of the treasury, Jackson writes "an expose on the masterminds of 911." Jackson commits suicide before it has a chance to be published. Because mysterious attempts are made to confiscate Jackson's work soon after his death, Rachel decides to get Jackson's book published under a pseudonym. Rachel's publicist, Craig Brooke, asks a strange but cryptic request of her, which she accepts without fully knowing Craig's true identity. She also has no idea that the request will place her life in danger.
William de Berg pens a story of greed and power in his latest novel. While replete with a fictional cast set within a fictional romance storyline, De Berg's plot is heavily laced with page after page of information on what are identified as the "occult financial system" and the "black gold trade." Beginning with Jackson's search for the truth on 9/11 and tying that in with the "occult financial system," De Berg douses his chapters with a total of 120 footnotes to back up his data. A combination of factual and controversial resources, De Berg covers topics such as the Bilderberg Group, Project Hammer, Hitler's Black Eagle Trust, the Golden Lily treasure, and Yamashita's Gold, to name a very few. De Berg's third-person narrative is not very strong and doesn't offer anything terribly unpredictable. It is possible that this may be the author's intention since it appears from a reader's perspective that what he really wants is to raise awareness about the sinister underpinnings of the powerful. Certainly conspiracy theorists and enthusiasts will have a field day with the hefty resources De Berg supplies.
