BROKEN! by Kearns and Solomon
I will be dedicating by blog (right here) to this book on December 16th...
Synopsis: Military whistleblower Retired U.S. Air Force Captain Michael S. Kearns and co-author Ronald Solomon expose the dark side of torture, drones, surveillance, weapons of defense and PTSD in their chilling new book, BROKEN!. Based, in part,on Kearns’ experience as a former Master Survival-Evasion-Resistance-Escape (S.E.R.E.) Instructor, with BROKEN!, they share with readers a compelling fictional narrative based on brutal, disturbing facts. When disgraced S.E.R.E. master instructor Captain Charles “Chauncey” Paunce is asked by the FBI to train the CEOs of the world’s most advanced drone manufacturers to resist torture (by torturing them!), he steps into a conspiracy aimed at breaking the very foundations of American privacy and freedom. With the aid of his expert intelligence skills and a group of former Navy SEALs/SWCCs, Chauncey fights through a web of cutting-edge, weaponized drones, and string of massacres and tortures in the homeland.
From a desolate village in Afghanistan to the Mojave Desert to the skies over San Diego, BROKEN! is a thrill ride that combines real modern-day issues with enhanced robotics, illegal surveillance, explosions and … redemption. BIOGRAPHIES: Michael S. “Kearnsey” Kearns is a retired Air Force Intelligence Officer, and former Master SERE instructor, who has been a vocal opponent of the Bush/Cheney torture program and the dark complexities of political war profiteering at the expense of the American people. He is the sole survivor of the world’s first four-way skydive over the South Pole and the first person to have parachuted over all seven continents. As a patriot who has risked his life and lost too many of his fellow veterans, this novel is his dedication to the truth.
Ronald B. Solomon has created, written, and run successful companies and products spanning TV sitcoms, toys, and information technology. He is deeply concerned about the condition of our country and the negative effects of financial elitists and their government lapdogs on our citizenry. His extensive background as a television executive producer, head writer, and show creator has helped to give his first novel, BROKEN!, its exciting, cinematic feeling. He lives at the top of a mountain near Denver, Colorado, with his wife and pet security drone.
