Book Description

September 2004
Peter Jamison is an aerospace engineer who wants nothing more than to save his contract for a tactical weapons system. But together with his girlfriend, attorney Melissa Corley, he uncovers a crime of corruption, power and violence, a crime that has drawn him into a deadly game he cannot win. And now the stakes are going up. The FBI and the White House are determined to silence him, someone has captured Melissa, and Peter knows the time has come to fight back. Any way he can.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Non-Stop Thrillride, May 26, 2007
This review is from: The Fund (Mass Market Paperback)
A great story with very well developed lead characters. Got me hooked after the first few pages. Wes is a great writer with what appears to be some very good inside information, a la Tom Clancy. This book would make a great movie.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing!, June 8, 2005
By 
This review is from: The Fund (Mass Market Paperback)
This plot had such potential...which it sadly failed to realize.
The main character was overly complex, while other important characters were not fully developed. The motivations were farfetched at best and if you like an ending that even slightly balances the universe, look elsewhere. I was actually angry at the way this book ended. I am an avid reader, but I can count the number of times I've been angry with a story. This will be a memorable book simply for that reason.
