FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 21, 2010 --

"The Corrupt Republic" is a political thriller with a very timely edge, cutting to the core of suspected corruption, yet leaving us hopeful that justice and ethics haven't been lost within the rampant politics, power, corruption, and unchecked greed that has become a staple of American life. It's as much the foundation for a dialogue on our nation's direction and beliefs, as it is a stark look into the reality that we face in the wake of increasing governmental control. Inspired by and beneath the backdrop of the record financial bailouts and growing public distrust of Wall Street and the financial sector, Washington politicians on both sides of the political aisle smell the blood in the water approaching a mid-term election. Jack Thomason, a fiercely independent attorney and advisor to many of the world's major financial companies, is appointed as "Independent Counsel for Financial Oversight" as overseer of taxpayer fund recovery and to represent the Government's and American people's ownership stake in these organizations, a role he reluctantly accepts. As Jack and his team uncover the financial secrets hidden within the bailouts, he discovers a trail of incriminating evidence implicating that Washington's highest-ranking officials are being leveraged with monies by the same institutions they've financially rescued. He also encounters threads of corruption that lead through market manipulation and even Mafia control of major brokerages. Jack's pragmatism, authenticity, ethics and devout beliefs carry into his mission to serve the American people.

Andrew Buck is a debut author in the political fiction space, and "The Corrupt Republic" is a timely thriller inspired by and set against the backdrop of the global financial crisis and historic government involvement. "The Corrupt Republic" presents a plausible scenario for corruption within the financial and banking sectors that compels consideration of the relationship between business and political power, presenting within it a wide series of ethical and moral parallels.
