Another blockbuster from C. Frederick Braun Former Navy Seal Doug Hammer is back in a thriller that pits Americans against each other and most especially their government. The Twelve Knights, a cabal of financiers from across the globe are plotting a coup d' etat of the United States, Mexico and Canada in order to combine North America into one country: The North American Union. Hammer, now working for a quasi government agency as an assassin, get's pulled into the conflict when his sister Marlene is murdered by one of the conspirators. The economy is collapsing and there are protests in the streets as the money managers and the Fed manipulate the markets to create a panic only they can fix...or not. Now Doug finds himself in a world where friend is foe and nothing is as it seems. He and his crew set out to get revenge for Marlene's murder and unexpectedly are called upon to save three nations. From the IRS to the NSA, The Merida Compact takes real world situations playing out in today's headlines and set's up a "what if" scenario that is eerily a little too close for comfort.
