A rising star. A family betrayal. A deadly game.
David Shepherd, a charismatic senator with a growing following, is invited into the inner circle of the White House.
His connection with the President's daughter ignites a passionate romance, but their happiness is shattered by a chilling discovery.
As David's popularity soars, he becomes a target for those who seek to silence him.
A series of assassination attempts leaves him questioning the loyalty of those closest to him, including the woman he loves.
With his life on the line, David must uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power.
But can he trust his instincts when the truth may destroy the people he cares about most?
Will David sacrifice his own safety to expose the corruption plaguing the nation?
Or will he choose to protect those he loves, even if it means turning a blind eye to the darkness lurking in the heart of government?
Dead State is the second book in this fast-paced, action-packed Christian thriller series. Think David Baldacci, James Patterson, Mark Dawson, and Lee Child meet Colleen Coble, and Lynette Eason. This is a modern-day re-telling of the King David story. The establishment will stop at nothing to stop David Shepherd's rise to power - and assassination isn't off the table.

I had a hard time laying the book down and completed it in one day. Can't wait to start reading the 3rd book in this series.
Clearly, the author has been reading too much Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy because he managed to channel all of the action, thrill and anxiety of their works into this novel. Politics is not supposed to be war and it appears that certain persons in power have forgotten that in their drive to remove rookie Senator David Shepherd from the presidential race. What follows is an intensely suspenseful yet faith-infused electoral run which contrasts hugely against the current Trump administration and the newly-completed Canadian federal election. Where can we find politicians like Shepherd?
I received an ARC via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
A long criticism is that Washington corrupts the good. There are many that come with price and arrogance to benefit from an elected role, rather than help those they ser. But what of the good-hearted and good-intentioned?
Addresses this in a captivating way: power, faith, and how to maintain yourself in that environment.
Really enjoyed it, and how it applies to our world today.
What a good book°° I love that David is a Christian, can defend his faith, never wavering and still be in politics. Couldn't put it down.
Am anxious for book 3.
David Shepherd is becoming more than he ever intended to become, his popularity in the polls was rising, people were following every word he said, and his stance on religion did not work against him as some said it would, on the contrary people were believing every word he said. He was becoming a threat to the Presidency itself and to those who benefitted from keeping certain people who were compromised in office. Saul Mauer was not one to take competition lightly, let alone defeat, he enjoyed his power and would do anything to hold onto it. So even though his own daughter Michal was in love with David, and his son Jonathan was David's friend, he still sent assassins to try to kill him, and kept Michal away from him. David went into hiding with full security forces around him and his team researched to see who would benefit by keeping him out of the running for presidency. The darkness which he and his team discovered went real deep, the power behind the president was enormous. So who were Sanctum? This thriller is a real page turner, riveting especially as it builds up to a face to face debate at the end of the book. It becomes a race to save lives when so much was revealed on national television. I love that David sticks by his beliefs no matter what and will simply not give in to pressure to win an election. Phew what a great read!! On to book 3 please.
