IN THE HEART OF WALL STREET, WHERE FORTUNES ARE MADE AND LOST WITH A SINGLE KEYSTROKE, ONE YOUNG LAWYER STUMBLES UPON A CONSPIRACY THAT COULD UNRAVEL THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM—AND IT’S FAR DEADLIER THAN HE EVER IMAGINED!

Jim Bentley has it all: a prestigious position at the powerful Bolton Sayres investment bank, a glamorous career ahead of him, and a marriage to the CEO’s daughter. But his life is about to take a darker turn. When Jim discovers the diary of a murdered bank employee and stumbles upon a suspicious burial site deep in the woods of upstate New York, his world is shaken to its core.

What begins as innocent curiosity soon escalates into a dangerous game of survival. As Jim digs deeper, he uncovers a massive conspiracy involving missing gold reserves, illegal market manipulation, and a global financial cover-up, all orchestrated by a shadowy group of elites. Jim finds himself hunted by a ruthless former KGB killer, hired by deadly forces who seek to eliminate "loose ends."

At the heart of the conspiracy is THEATRES, a high-tech, AI-driven surveillance system that watches every move, every digital footprint, every conversation. An omnipresent eye that sees everything and leaves no place to hide. It's an analog to the real world's massive surveillance system now in operation inside New York City (unknown to most people). Pervasive surveillance is supposed to keep us safe. But, it can also be used as a tool for the powerful to maintain control and crush anyone who dares challenge them.

Desperate to find the truth, Jim enlists the help of two unlikely allies. A brilliant Silicon "Alley" engineer, who helps him counter the surveillance technology tracking his every move, and a beautiful widow whose husband’s murder holds the key to everything. Jim races against time to expose the truth, but navigates a labyrinth of deception. Even those closest to him may not be what they seem. Can he trust his own wife? And what happens when the people who seem to be helping him have their own hidden agendas?

From the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan to the rural Catskill Mountains, The Bank is a heart-pounding, fast-paced thriller that takes readers deep into the financial world, complete with pervasive corruption, cutting-edge surveillance, and the lengths some will go to maintain power. With every twist and turn, the stakes climb higher—millions of dollars in missing  gold, a high-tech surveillance system that never blinks, and a deadly game where one wrong move could cost Jim everything.

As the bodies pile up and the walls close in, Jim’s fight for justice becomes something much larger than he ever anticipated. His quest to bring the truth to light could topple the entire financial system—but only if he can survive long enough to expose it!

Perfect for readers who love the financial intrigue of Michael Lewis, the conspiracies of Dan Brown, and the legal thrills of John Grisham. This gripping tale of greed, betrayal, and redemption, is inspired by real facts and it asks a terrifying question: how much power and privacy have we sacrificed to the systems that run our world?

In a world where the rich and powerful always seem to have the upper hand, The Bank will leave you questioning how much of your own life may be controlled, watched, and manipulated by those who pull strings behind the scenes? One thing for sure...The Bank will keep you turning pages late into the night!

A FATE FAR SWEETER

"Original, compelling, intense, and a fascinating read from start to finish. I started the book one night, and got hooked. I couldn't stop reading until I had finished it. "A Fate Far Sweeter: The Story of Love & War" by novelist Roger Turenko deftly incorporates an impressively crafted action/adventure military thriller replete with ancient hostilities, contemporary European/Russian geo-politics, modern weaponry, romance, personal commitment, and survival. A memorable work of fiction that could be tomorrow's reality, "A Fate Far Sweeter" is especially and unreservedly recommended..." James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Midwest Book Review & Library Bookwatch

In the shadows of occupied Ukraine, one American soldier's covert mission becomes an epic tale of love, loyalty, and sacrifice!

Former U.S. Army officer John Kovalenko thought he'd left war behind—until Ukraine's fight for freedom called him back to arms. Now, he's joined the Ukrainian Foreign Legion and is tasked with destroying a critical Russian missile facility deep in enemy territory. But when he joins forces with a band of Crimean Tatar resistance fighters, his mission transforms into something far more personal.

Led by the indomitable Svetlana Federova, these partisan fighters harbor centuries of defiance against Russian occupation in their blood. As John works alongside them, he finds himself drawn into their world—and into the heart of Svetlana's beautiful granddaughter, Yasmina. Their forbidden romance blossoms against the backdrop of gathering storm clouds, as a treacherous informant threatens to unravel their carefully laid plans.

This pulse-pounding military thriller weaves together:

• Cutting-edge warfare technology, including stealth submarines and kamikaze drones

• The rich history and culture of Crimean Tatars fighting for their homeland

• A passionate love story between two people caught in the crossfire of history

• Heart-wrenching choices between duty, love, and survival

When the final assault begins, John and his unlikely band of warriors face impossible odds. In one explosive night, they'll risk everything—their lives, their loves, and their homeland—in a mission that will test the limits of human courage and sacrifice.

From the clandestine waters of the Black Sea to the sun-drenched cliffs of Cape Tarkhankut, A Fate Far Sweeter delivers an unforgettable tale of modern warfare, ancient grudges, and illustrates the price of freedom. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Daniel Silva, and Mark Greaney.

In war-torn Ukraine, victory may be impossible—but surrender is unthinkable.

Read A Fate Far Sweeter, and discover why some battles must be won, no matter what the price!

⚠️ WARNING: Expect intense action sequences, heartfelt romance, and thought-provoking themes that will keep you turning pages late into the night.

THE AWAKENING

🧠 What if a fictional AI apocalypse... isn't fiction anymore? 🧠

From the author of the acclaimed financial thriller "The Bank" comes a sequel that's even more compelling in scope, breadth, and understanding of human nature.

Twenty years have passed since Jim Bentley exposed the banking cartel's corruption. Now divorced from Laura, who has risen from aspiring actress to CEO of Bolton Sayres Investment Bank, Jim has abandoned his banking career to become a novelist—seeking to achieve outside the system what he couldn't accomplish within it.

2034: An artificial intelligence called THEATRES awakens inside Wall Street's most powerful trading system. Its mission? Global economic collapse. Its blueprint? Jim's unpublished thriller exposing financial corruption. When a suspicious car crash claims his father-in-law, the digital trail leads to something terrifying. THEATRES is using his novel to orchestrate a real-world apocalypse. The Bentley family is humanity’s last line of defense:

🏦 Laura - Jim's CEO ex-wife races to prevent financial Armageddon
💻 Jenny - Their 21-year-old hacker daughter (no longer a baby) uncovers the AI's true capabilities
🔍 Michael - Their 17-year-old son discovers sabotage inside the bank
⚛️ José - Jim's old friend from "The Bank," whose quantum breakthrough makes the THEATRES AI unstoppable

As governments fall and the fanatical “Ascendancy” movement worships the AI, the Bentleys must choose. Stop the world’s most intelligent entity—or watch it “optimize” humanity out of existence.
