FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
If government were for the people it
would never underestimate the power of the
people – unfortunately, not today’s
government
Fredericksburg, VA, November 4, 2010 -
Ops Populi: Inception (Astute
Publishing Company) by Mike Lieber is
a fast-paced political thriller that ranks
right up alongside Ludlum, Flynn and Coonts!
It is the first of a three-part series that
blends patriotic fervor with political
corruption, leading to a second U.S.
Constitutional Convention. Ops Populi,
meaning ‘power to the people,’ is what
billionaire philanthropist, Martin Lochridge,
believes is the answer for the best legacy
he can leave behind to build back an America
that truly lives up to the ideals of the
Founding Fathers.
The story begins in a small town in Maine
where college professor and Army National
Guard Officer, Sean May, delivers an
impassioned speech to a crowd that includes
Lochridge, a patriot and retired
billionaire, heartsick over the rapid
decline of his country at the hands of a
self-serving government, who is looking for
a way to leave a lasting legacy where his
fortune will truly make a difference.
Ten years later, Major May is serving his
third active-duty tour in war-torn Iraq and
is injured by an insurgent rocket attack and
evacuated to Walter Reed Hospital in
Washington. Angered by the poor conditions
and his inadequate treatment, he walks out
of the hospital and finds himself wandering
the streets of the capital with little money
and still suffering the effects of a head
injury that robbed him of much of his
memory. The major carries a computer flash
drive but what he doesn’t know is that it
contains evidence of a crime ring involving
ruthless government contractors and others
who are holding the highest offices in the
nation. He meets Virginia Burress, who helps
the hungry and homeless vet, and there
follows a frightening chain of events as
they become prey in a desperate hunt by the
ruthless group who will stop at nothing to
protect their power, position and wealth.
Unknown to him, May’s lecture ten years
earlier provided the inspiration for Martin
Lochridge who has been busy forming a secret
organization, Ops Populi, from which he
plans on initiating a colossal campaign for
a people’s Constitutional Convention that he
hopes will restore the Founding Fathers
ideals to America. Believing that government
must first be reformed at its base level, he
plans to start with the Constitution that
created our Republic. And for this,
Lochridge needs the help of Major Sean May
so first he must rescue him and his
companion from the grip of the corruption
they have uncovered.
Mike Lieber’s first political thriller in
the Ops Populi series illustrates how elites
dominate our society today, aggressively
guarding our nation’s public and private
institutions that enforce the rules of our
society, and if citizens do not respond and
take back control from the elites – it will
be the downfall of our Republic. This is
where ‘Inception’ marks the beginning of the
epic transition to the next great phase of
America’s evolution. Please visit

TIP SHEET:
Midwest Book Review: “An absorbing novel of
political intrigue and patriotism. What some
people give for their country is life
changing. Inception tells the success story
of retired billionaire and army officer Sean
May. When an injury in Iraq sends him on a
spiral onto the streets, poor and destitute,
his only chance for happiness may be one
caring woman and a piece of evidence that
could damn several corrupt individuals
higher up.“
BooksandAuthors.net “A fast paced,
entertaining and craftily woven political
thriller…with many subplots, the author
tells the story of power and patriotism. The
characters and dialogue set the stage for a
first rate novel that will have every reader
begging for a sequel. “
Richard L. Wight: “Inception is a real
page-turner. Multiple sub-plots deftly
interwoven…Lieber has obviously done this
research. (Having spent time in the Army
…and a career with the Federal Government
dealing with military issues, I can vouch
for the accuracy of many of the book’s
details.) I was even motivated to re-read
the Constitution after an unpatriotic lapse
of many years. There is obviously a sequel
coming – I’ll try to be the first in line.” |
