This Saturday, Nov. 22 from 10 a.m.-noon, Whitesboro’s House of Brews Coffee House continues its local author book signing series with this week’s featured writer, Mark Dickson.
Dickson has lived many lives — surgeon, farmer, global traveler and student of the fighting arts. Each chapter of his own story fuels the high-stakes authenticity of his thrillers. His debut, Enemy at the Helm, became an Amazon Bestseller, praised for its relentless pace and razor-sharp realism.
Published in 2023, Enemy at the Helm tells the story of a country in crisis. All the major U.S. ports have been rendered inoperable by the simultaneous sinking of large vessels in their choke points, thus halting the bulk of global trade.
At first, the president thinks he has been given a gift. He always thought the United States got the raw end of the deal in international trade because of the spineless behavior of his predecessors. But with the resulting shortages of everything, he soon realizes that people in extreme situations behave irrationally, and he struggles to stay afloat himself.
Tom Jensen, a young hippie devoted more to surfing than to working, is improbably caught in the middle, drawn to fight back against the unseen forces driving the global disaster. Joining his FBI agent uncle and others working to uncover the terrorist plot, he gets an international adventure he never saw coming.
Enemy at the Helm is the provocative and engaging first installment of a thriller series full of terrorist activity, conspiracies and the military operations and other, less-expected efforts to stop them. This fast-paced story will keep readers turning the pages and leaving them eagerly anticipating the next episode in the series.
The book is available for purchase on Amazon.com
