Synopsis

Amber van Hosteen is working at her dream job at News Corp in New York City. That is, it’s a dream until she discovers large corporations are corrupting governments around the world, sponsoring questionable projects, and building huge factories in lawless places for an unknown purpose. Determined to learn who is behind these crimes, Amber follows a trail of clues to a remote village in North Africa.
Jeff Smith is a senior CIA agent. When his team discovers a material that cannot be made on Earth, and his director does not want to believe him. Jeff is reassigned to follow Amber to Africa, little suspecting it will lead him to the answers about the mysterious material.
Amber and Jeff have met before. He once tried to stop her from getting a story, so when he comes to her rescue in a dire situation, she is less than grateful. Soon, however, they find themselves forming a fragile alliance. When they discover an unimaginable nightmare, they quickly realize they can trust no one except each other. Soon, Jeff and Amber are being chased around the world by members of the Hidden Hand, a secret society with influence at the highest levels across many governments.
What Amber and Jeff have discovered will change the world forever if they don’t put a stop to it. But who will believe them, and will they even live to tell the tale?

I avoided other Trump era memoirs, regardless of the author’s political views, because I expect them to be strongly biased. However, I decided to read Dr. Birx’s book to gain insight into the COVID-19 response. My day job involves antiviral drug development, including the COVID-19 therapeutics (not......more

Goodreads review by Anne on January 12, 2023

I'm (Birx) the only person that knew what was going on and nobody would listen to me. I could have completely destroyed the economy, but they would not let me. This arrogant soul is responsible for more pain and suffering than I ever realized.......more
