Slanted

By H. L. Wegley

Description:

Americans are drowning in information with no clue that it will soon steal their nation and their liberty.
Orphaned as an adolescent then cycled through the foster-care system, AJ Scott, believes she's so badly broken that no one would want her. When she finds an orphaned girl, Sam, hidden in some bushes along the Rogue River, in an instant, a bond is formed. AJ quickly learns that Sam's and her guardian's lives are in danger from a team of hired killers. But AJ commits to helping eight-year-old Sam. A competitive athlete, AJ Scott isn't one to quit, give up, or do anything halfway, not even when she and Sam end up in a road race with killers in pursuit.

When Hunter Jones's cousin dies, he becomes eight-year-old Samantha Wilson's guardian and sets aside any pursuit of personal happiness. Sam becomes his lot in life, and he loves her dearly. But Hunter, a big data analyst, will soon release a research report proving that the largest Internet search engine in the world is being used by its owners to influence American political thought with the intent of controlling elections. He hints at his findings in a radio interview and the news goes viral. Within hours, a team of hired killers attacks Hunter and Sam, intending to eliminate them and steal his research findings. Hunter hides Sam and eludes the killers. But when he returns, Sam is gone. Enraged, Hunter Jones will storm the gates of Hades to get her back, and whoever took her will pay a steep price.

Set in Southern Oregon, Seattle, Washington DC, and Eastern Oregon, near Paulina Lake, Slanted is a gritty, high-action, romantic suspense adventure about commitment, sacrifice, love and faith.

Book Takeaway:

Know what you believe. Have solid reasons for those beliefs and don't let the manipulation by big tech, using the Internet, influence your beliefs or negatively impact your decisions.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted readers to be aware of the insidious influence Internet search engines, designed to change people's view of reality. Slanted is an impassioned plea to America to wake up to the dangers presented by unrestrained big technology companies and it provides a recipe for the recovery of our republic, a recipe couched in Jesus’ words from the beatitudes.
