A sociopathic mastermind, whose clandestine business empire is as powerful as many nations, is moving towards an attack that will change world history. He controls companies, countries and, most deadly of all, very powerful people.

Ranged against him is an unlikely coalition of forces – the most powerful of them may be the men with innocent blood on their hands.	

This tale of revenge and redemption starts with a murder in Vietnam and continues with a trail of destruction, violence and death around the world.

In a roller coaster ride of tension, award winning writer, Steven M Homer, introduces us to a powerful personification of evil … and the men who decide to go up against him.

                                                                  *      *      *     *

This book is the first in a trilogy of novels that I hope will appeal to readers of Robert Ludlum, John Grisham, Brad Meltzer, Vince Flynn,Tom Clancy et al. 

I have already written over 100,000 words (over 300 pages) of the first novel and second novels. I am publishing in parts to help me lock down the plot There may be back edits (plot changes to early parts of the book). If you want to help me by reading these early stages that will be great. I promise to reward your loyalty by letting you know of any changes that occur. 

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN ADULT THRILLER. Some scenes will be uncomfortable to read.

PLEASE ONLY SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS AT THE MOMENT – I look forward to useful criticism later :-)

Please check out the website www.StandingAgaianstTheStorm.com (in a couple of days) for more details of how this process will evolve and to find out the PROVISIONAL titles of the upcoming book.

Jesus Christ, she is losing too much blood. We are losing her and the baby... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My eyes continued to open and close as the doctor tried everything in his power to resuscitate me. I continued to stare at the hospital lights which flashed in my eyes. See I never thought I would fall for him. I never thought I would be here fighting for my life and I never thought I would lose my child. He was the last person I saw before taking what appeared to be my last and final moments. I never thought I would have to pick between fame- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Suddenly he stopped moving when he heard what appeared to be footsteps following his last and final movement. In his last moments, he thought about me. I was his first true love. As he turned around he watched as the gun was aimed directly at his head. The man who stood before him didn't appear like any ordinary man. He gave him a sinister smile as he continued to look him straight in his eyes. Who are you he asked the person? Karma he replied. This is for what you did to them because of you he might not even survive. This is for picking love over--- The person's eyes widened as he prepared himself to eject each clip into his target's head. Within a couple of minutes, the gun went off. Blood splattered everywhere. All that remained was the victim's body with a gunshot wound to the head. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gifted: Or love but wait let's go back to when it all started... This is my written testimony to: --------- FA M E OR LOVE ----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning ⚠️ : The storyline was geared towards a mature audience and concentrates on diversity and real-life issues that people endure while pursuing fame and love...

When you experience the worst thing you could ever imagine, how do you react? - "The water looked so tempting under me as I stood there in the dark. The splashing sounds as the waves hit the stone calmed me down and I took a deep breath. Yes. This was it. I closed my eyes and took one step closer, feeling the curb under the soles of my shoes when I stopped again. Then my heart started pounding when I heard the sound of an angry engine behind me, a screech and a crash. I turned around, gasping, ready to pick my phone up from the ground to call for help- but what met me was a pair of soul-searching golden eyes. In all his twisted glory, he stood in front of me, his precious motorcycle's engine still going as it laid on the ground behind him. His hand reached out, as if asking me to wait, but neither of us said anything. We just stood there." - Olivia was a happy, cheerful girl whose life turned upside down one evening, over a phone call.
