WELCOME TO THE CONTROVERSY! "This nation cannot be overthrown by battle. It would never allow itself to be. America can only be overthrown by removing its reason for greatness, its exceptionalism and existence as a force for world influence for good and freedom. The driving purpose that led our brothers and sisters to shed their blood for a new country and which drove a people and a President to hold fast to the premise that the nation could not be divided into two in the bloody civil war. Our vision of defeating evil, which gives our men and women in the military valor and a willingness to sacrifice in each of our American centuries, has been freedom. The greatest force for freedom has always been the Constitution of the United States. Now, this government, of the people disregards the people. Now these rights, for the people, seem to have been invalidated by a force that has no constitutional right to do so." - Author Steven Clark Bradley
What would America do if we were faced with a horrendous terrorist attack that no amount of security could stop? In "The Second Republic - Patriot Acts Part II," the President of the United States is confronted with a radical underground secret cabal that has targeted America with a domestic bio-terror attack that dwarfs the assault unleashed on September 11, 2001. This second book in the Patriot Acts trilogy takes the reader inside the White House where treachery and terrorism boils below its underbelly. While trying to avoid invoking emergency powers that could destroy American constitutional freedoms, a former Special Ops officer, now the President of the United States, races to stop a deadly virus, which has killed thousands of innocent Americans. This Fisher Harrison saga, The Second Republic, is an action thriller that could appear on any of today's headlines, on any given day with a plausible scenario for the death of humankind that is too frighteningly conceivable for comfort.
The Consortium Patriot Acts Part III reaches deeply into the hidden and sinister world of the international banking system and the global power brokers who profit from it. In September, 2008, the Federal Reserve Chairman and the Secretary of the Treasury came to President and issued him a suicide threat. They told the president to give them $800 billion dollars or in twenty-four hours the American economy would die and in forty-eight hours, $5 trillion dollars would disappear with the entire world economy. The President said yes. The Consortium considers what would have happened for the United States and for the whole world political and economic system would have been if the president of the United States had said, NO?? After reading it, watching or reading the news will never be quite the same.
The "Conor and the Crossworlds" series by Kevin Gerard are tales about Conor, a ten-year-old boy who goes on an adventures with Puragama, a powerful winged cougar and experiences the various directions his future could take. Kevin Gerard’s very developed and excellent metaphors in this excellent series painted pictures of Conor’s amazing journeys, creating an interesting concept in fantasy that captured my imagination and attention. The adventure and the action along with finely developed and well used characters gave the book a gripping affect on the reader.
I found myself taking great interest in following the book from the beginning to the end.Because the author started the book amidst the final battle and then flashed back to explain how Conor got there, Gerard gave these books a real mystique and aura that made my inquisitive mind all the fuel it needed to see Conor’s world and felt I was there living his exciting ride with him. These stories are full of interesting ideas, and Kevin Gerard’s labor in seeing these stories to their ends is evident in the narrative and the realistic dialog.
Conor started out his adventure quite like your everyday ten-year-old boy, except for the pain of the loss of his uncle, whom he loved. It is obvious that the Kevin Gerard created a main character who is both particularly young and courageous. Conor seemed to grow during his adventure and in the end, Conor seemed to have gained wisdom from his mentor, Puragama, the great flying cougar. I found the character of Puragama to be especially significant and central to the main theme of the stories. These adventures with Puragama helped Conor find out how and why his uncle had died. I was motivated to keep reading because each adventure was a stepping stone to the next.
I would suggest any reader, young or old to invest their time in any of the series of books by Kevin Gerard titled "Conor and the Crossworlds.” I never have a lot of time to do as much reading as I‘d like, but I actually set aside time to read these stories because of the fantastic nature of Kevin Gerard’s books.I plan to read the next installment of Kevin Gerard's series, "Conor and the Crossworlds."

From the Author
"Completing this story gave me tremendous personal satisfaction, and it showed me an avenue for expression I will always treasure."
"Conor Jameson is an amalgamation of a host of different characters I've encountered over the years. During the time I've written his story, he has become like a son to me. I've seen him grow from a ten year-old, wide-eyed boy into a strong man filled with integrity and character. The most amazing sensations emerged when I would finish a book and go back to edit one of the earlier stories. Suddenly he'd be quite young again, chronologically and emotionally. Just noticing the difference fortified my belief that I could write and write well."
"As much as I love Conor, Purugama the winged cougar caused me to write Breaking the Barrier. He really is the reason this entire story came into being. I can remember when I was a boy, maybe seven or eight years old, how I used to huddle under my covers and imagine a gigantic, powerful flying cougar arriving at my window to take me away on amazing adventures. That was roughly forty years ago, and now, at least through Conor's eyes, I get to see the fantasy come to life."
A truly unique tale about a reluctant hero, repeatedly called into service by the creators of a different dimension. Young Conor Jameson, a boy content to hang out with friends, play sports and video games, and attend school sees his life change time and again with every visit to the Crossworlds. With a two year interval in between each book, Conor, a little older and wiser, encounters a new mission. First as a companion to a fantasy creature, then as attendant to Lord of the champions, Conor's involvement threatens his existence more deeply with every book. At the end of the third tale, he and his girlfriend, Janine, find themselves trapped by Conor's nemesis, the shape-shifter, Seefra. The fourth book highlights Conor's journey to reassemble the champions, rescue his girlfriend and reclaim the five keys of the creators. In the fifth book, the Circle of Evil releases two doomsday weapons against Conor and the champions. The hero's journey begins anew as Conor once again puts his life at risk for the Crossworlds. The fantasy epic begins with the first release, Conor and the Crossworlds: Breaking the Barrier.
