During the final days of World War One, Islamic Jihadists planted the seeds to overthrow the Government of the United States. Surviving members of a secret-society known as the Black Hand devised a three-phase plan to immigrate political-reformers into the United States, assimilate among its citizenry, and progressively work towards dominating the American society. Using genetic science, they selectively procreated and groomed their descendants to occupy key positions of political power. Undetected and unknown, their plan has spanned for generations and is about to enter its final phase. These newly affirmed citizens may look like Americans, act like Americans, but they are conditioned from birth to be something else; their loyalty belongs to the Black Hand. Tracking the Paradigm begins in the Middle East with a chance encounter made by an American soldier named John Harrington. He knows the secrets he stole will expose thousands of people on the precipice of political power. He flees for his life because those hunting him sacrifice everything to stop him. Alone and afraid, he reaches out to the one person he can trust, his sister Rachel. Rachel is a professional computer-hacker who works for the Department of Defense. She uses her unique skills to learn the truth about her brother’s actions overseas and discovers a shadow war being fought inside the American culture using the power of social controls. She fears for her life and is forced to trust a mysterious stranger who has a unique mental ability. She risks everything she has to save herself and expose the Trojan Horse lurking within the American Government. If she fails, she will forever be on the run from a secret-society whose members are always watching, always learning, and living in plain sight of the American people.

Connected by blood, courage and spirit! Great Read! I love historical fiction and while I’ve read many military history books I’ve never read a military historical fiction based title. The book intertwines a connection between two strong women who bravely fought for the stars and stripes in very different times. The war of independence and Gulf war one. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the colonial side of the book more than Leah’s Iraq deployment. Her arc was engaging and enjoyable so don’t get me wrong. Betty’s story arc tied the whole thing together of course. An amazing woman to say the least. Pratt was a great antagonist that really brought the tension of the time to life. Linn was another key ingredient (I’m a huge Jeb Stewart fan so I love reading about scouts). Lastly I was very impressed with the writers ability to bring the terrain and natural state to life. You must have spent many hours in the woods to write in such a descriptive fashion!
