Crash Gordon and the Illuminati Underground by Derek Swannson takes us on an "illuminating" ride into the dark corners where the global financial elite (the Illuminati) hide out. Its setting is a scenario where an obscure author begins to get some traction in exposing how the super-powerful are creating an evil prison planet. They could easily "neutralize him with extreme prejudice," but this might draw more attention to the evil that they must not allow to see the light of day. They decide to corrupt and discredit this upstart by paradoxically using the same methods that he is struggling to expose. The book is a journey through a series of quite realistic episodes to corrupt, entrap, and dishearten a young writer who "knows too much!" It is a riveting journey in a blend of fact and fantasy!

Derek Swannson's Crash Gordon and the Illuminati Underground is a captivating mix of fact-based reality and fantasy. Although lengthy, it will keep your attention and challenge your fundamental belief systems! The author has done extensive research into hidden power, assassinations, conspiracies, and deep politics.
