Can it be the presidential elections themselves? Can our precious democracy be so conveniently compromised? Richard Clayborne must find out – to save his life, his love, and ultimately America itself. Though a tiny cog in the vast Alphabanc financial empire, ambitious Richard gets the unusual assignment to chat up the glamorous Christin, a relatively new employee, in a carefully choreographed exchange. But all he is being told doesn’t seem to add up. Why Christin? Why him? Is there another, hidden agenda he isn’t seeing? With the help of Blair, a hard-bitten ex-detective with a rocky past he’d rather forget, Richard begins to discern the dark outlines of a conspiracy that appears so vast it could change the future of America and the rest of the world. And try as he might, he can’t help falling headfirst in love with Christin, whom, he discovers, has a dangerous secret which he begins to unravel – until she suddenly disappears. Horrified, Richard suddenly finds himself in too deep to extricate himself from Alphabanc’s dark web of intrigue, plus he desperately needs to find and save the life of the missing Christin – and perhaps his own – before their evil plan comes to fruition. * * * Glass House 51 transports us to a brave new world where information on an individual can be so comprehensive, so insidiously granular and minute, that folks can become information “specimens” kept by perverse “collectors” . . . like butterflies in a virtual bottle. Glass House 51 is humbly dedicated to George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, massive contributors to the collective conscience of our modern age. They saw it coming; they saw it first; they warned us. We learned nothing. About the Author John Hampel was born in a small town in Pennsylvania in the 50s, romped through the60s watching "Leave it to Beaver," and "Sky King" (and Penny, oh God ...
