in Washington, D.C. and Area 51 to an abandoned airfield in Kazakhstan with the Russian militay closing in, Hank’s journey takes him and his companions on a treacherous path that only faith can navigate.
Billionaire Hank Montague must rethink his priorities when provisions in his mother’s will stipulate that he would lose half his fortune if he follows through on his engagement to President-elect Jennifer Knox. Complications ensue when he’s taken hostage by a stepfather with an ax to grind, who insists the White House wedding is the product of a quirky research assistant who unknowingly shoved him into a relationship with Knox to combat her own identity issues. While sifting through relationships, Hank challenges President Knox with a daring plan to house the homeless and uncovers why defeating Russia would be a lethal error for the US. Several subplots paint the border wall as the orphaned, juvenile gorilla in the room while rummaging through all the baggage in the family’s closets.

There’s a wedding in Dan Frank’s third novel. Is it the right wedding? The chapters reveal the answer to that question as Hank, the protagonist, works through his relationship issues. The plot in the latest volume uncovers unsuspected end-time realities that clearly establish if we’re living in the end-times in 2021. The answer to the end-times calendar of events overshadows long-established conventions.
Book #3 in this series will be released in the winter of 2020/21. The book is complete but still in the editing process. The title is being withheld until release. The cover art above was considered. Permission was obtained to use the picture. However, only the low-res image shown here is available which is not sufficient for print. The third book begins with an investigation into LaVoy Finicum’s death. Finicum, a participant in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, was shot dead in 2016 during a standoff with federal officials at the in Oregon. LaVoy Finicum’s experience was a good jumping-off place that led to greener plot pastures that speak more directly to end-time issues we face in 2021. Still, investigations have revealed that large uranium deposits near Finicum’s ranch were sold to a Russian firm a transaction overseen by Hillary Clinton, who then served as Secretary of State. Thus, Hank takes a trip to Russia in book #3 and this is the lesser of two geographic adventures. Outlines are always exceedingly loose in Dan’s writings, allowing the story to breathe and seek its own ending. Prepare to be blessed. And in this third novel, the story pours onto the page, some 260 pages rather than the 400-page volumes of the first two books in this series. This brevity is a blessing for both the writer and his audience. The first word of the unreleased title is “ Cold.” However, it’s the second word in the title and its tagline that engages Hank in a compelling journey of epic and diverse geography leading to an unexpected conclusion. -Book #3
