In the mid-twenty-first century, the United States goes through a fundamental change. White people are now only the largest minority in America. Will they surrender power to the coalition to follow, or fight "to keep what's theirs"? So begins a terrible, violent game of chess played for the heart and soul of a nation. Welcome to the world of Steve Tallman, the driven producer of a celebrated news program watched by avid millions over TV, the Net, and cellular. He comes across a document that cannot be believed but is frighteningly true, a database of organizations intent on destroying the basic freedoms Americans take for granted. The perpetrators of this conspiracy push a bill through Congress, an "Equal Opportunity in Government" law that would, if enacted, smother democracy under a new form of apartheid. What would you do with such incendiary information? Steve does exactly the wrong thing, discovering thereafter that the shadow rulers of the American republic are entities not to be trifled with. Perceiving his news organization as a threat, the conspirators lash out at Tallman, destroying not only his access to media, but everything and everyone touching on his life. The end? Not at all. For Steve's cowardly enemy underestimates who they've attempted to crush. A journalist, a war hero, a man who lives by razor-sharp virtues, Steve Tallman rallies to come at the schemers from an unexpected and devastating direction. He risks all, including his life and the lives of all around him, for Steve is a patriot in the truest sense of the word. The question remains, can Tallman defeat a far more powerful and organized political beast? Even more important: succeed or fail, can he survive the effort? Stephan Michael Loy presents a stone-hard parable of the American Dream gone nightmare. Conqueror's Realm is a deft warning that there can be no justice unless justice is for all.
Autorenporträt
Hi! Stephan Michael Loy here. A bit about me: First that name is pronounced 'Steven,' not 'Stefan' as so many people suppose. My mom was as imaginative as she was inventive and I suffer accordingly :-). I've published fantasy, science fiction, and satire since 2010. All those stories come from my highly imaginative and inventive mind, but they're also anchored in my wide and long experience. --Of growing up dirt poor, in dicey neighborhoods, and with the unflaggable intention of escaping those situations. --Of working as a journalist. A degree in Journalism from Indiana University and publication in three Midwestern newspapers, including the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Bloomington Herald-Telephone. --Of serving as an officer in the US Army, a move that pretty much truncated that career in journalism. Served as an Armor officer, that is, led M60A3 tanks as part of the 4th Infantry Division/11th Armored Cavalry covering force on the East-West frontier of Cold War Germany in the 1980s. Executive officer of an M1 tank company in 3/63 Armor, Germany. --After leaving the military, I took up my second love, art, the first being the aforesaid journalism. Art history student, commercial artist, and art teacher of almost thirty years. I designed and executed all my book covers. --First and foremost, I'm a family man. Married over forty years to the coolest woman on Earth. Two wonderful boys, one of which is disabled with autism, cerebral palsy, and mild mental handicaps. I'm allowed to exist in the same house with my two cats, Buffy the Cat Toy Slayer, and the Great and Powerful Oz, First Kitty Deluxe. Still pining for my rescue Greyhound Petra, off in the Elysian Fields of Chasing Rabbits and Rolling in Grass. I use all of this background in the stories I create to ensure the most authentic, immersive , and exciting experience for my readers. WHAT I'VE MANAGED SO FAR Eleven novels published as I write this, another five on the way soon. Five novellas published Organization of the Mid-World Arts support co-op of like-minded self-published artists Leader of the Mid-World Arts Writers' Critique Group, formerly the Indianapolis Writers' Critique Group.
