Zero God

A secretive and influential foundation based in Washington, DC, led by a charismatic charlatan, seeks to bring to fruition an apocalyptic vision of the future based on its extreme religious views. To this end they have placed a ""Manchurian candidate"" into the political system, one who unbeknownst to them was involved in the rape culture of the Abu-grave prison controversy. An emotionally damaged small-town lawyer stands in the way of national disaster.

Tommy Birk is a refreshing voice on the literary scene. In Zero God, his passion pushes the boundaries of the thriller-suspense genre to produce a powerful novel told in a unique voice. Set in the gently rolling hills of Southwestern Indiana, Zero God begins with Andy Balbach's innocent jog on a cold February morning. From there, it is anything but innocent as Andy and his estranged wife, Rhonda, along with a cast of characters and secret locations, take on a shadow government of wealthy conspirators who are on the cusp of attaining their goal of hijacking the American government. The conspirators operate in the open as evangelists who pray to Jesus with corrupt leaders under the guise of their own special Jesus.
