What if the United States were run like a corporation and a madman was in charge?

Review:
"This complex and fast-moving thriller about greed and power contains multiple subplots that will keep readers scratching their heads even as they try to catch their breath...Heavy on dialogue, this story moves quickly, with plenty of action in nearly every chapter..." - BookLife Prize
What an entertaining story! Who would have thought a NOAA agent could be the hero in a crime novel? And by the looks of it there may be more to come. I'll read the next installment too. I recommend to anyone who likes some light easy reading that's entertaining and captivating. - Jessie Orgambide on Goodreads
"Kahaner has uncovered one of the hidden corners of law enforcement -- fish cops -- and turned out a surprising, fast-moving thriller that never stumbles as it navigates through the world of commercial fishing to tell a story of government corruption and preemption at the highest levels. Enjoyable and chilling at the same time, with surprising relevance to the current political climate." - 'PoeLover'
"I liked that the book was well edited. It had shortchapters which kept the things going at a rapid fire pace. You could tell the technical aspects of the book were well researched by the author. The dialogue was very good. There were anecdotal stories that really helped bring the characters to life. The author added nice touches to scenes that made it seem like you were watching them take place." - Mark Johnson, OnlineBookClub.org
What you didn't know about NOAA! "This is a fast read - interesting exploration of Dept. ofCommerce security activity in NOAA (the largest of the DOC components).Unexpected and complex relationships among characters. The premise of the novel is remarkably timelygiven the recent 2016 elections. Kind of an Ayn Rand flavor to the themes.Entertaining read." - Vint Cerf
Read it on my iPhone. Perfect story to read that way as the action makes you want to "turn the pages." Solid plot; great awareness of the geography that brings it to life. Something set in the DC area that gets my vote. - Gary Tobin
