Political Thriller writer Alfred Wellnitz author of PushBack and Finding the Way is my guest on today's A Book and a Chat today. PushBack that takes place in the year 2033. The United States had not taken appropriate action to defuse its fiscal time bomb, wherein the country's trade deficit was ridiculously at an all-time high, foreigners were financing the country, and the president was trying to assure everyone that there was nothing to worry about. Then it all happened, the dollar crashes and all hell breaks loose. Wellnitz has succeeded in pulling out all the stops in delivering quite a cliff hanger, as he continually blindsides his readers with a great sense of timing, wild settings, and hair pin turns that readers come to expect from suspense thrillers. PushBack is Alfed Wellnitz's second novel, his first being Finding the Way.
