Book Description:
In the year 2084, the brilliant inventor, Alex Pella, finds
himself at a precarious crossroad between the pursuit of justice and
preservation of his own sanity. While attempting to undermine an international
New World Order government created by the financial juggernaut known as The New
Reality, he must also face the hidden truths about his own genetic heritage
that are slowly destroying him. After receiving an ambiguous message sent from
a former New Reality executive who died 2 years prior, Alex learns that the
only possible means to confront this New World Order is to defeat a
long-forgotten enemy almost 2500 years old.
THE HIDDEN REALITY is the second stand-alone novel in
a trilogy starring Alex Pella, created by New Jersey-based neurologist and
entrepreneur Stephen Martino. With his fusion of history, politics, and science
fiction, Martino joins such masters of the thriller genre as Dan Brown, James
Rollins, and Michael Crichton.
Martino’s villain is a corporation run by a cadre of ruthless international
bankers known as The New Reality. Directed by the most corrupt and morally
unscrupulous of the bunch, Myra Keres, the company has economically seized
control of the world’s governments and the population’s personal freedoms in
the process. In order to save humanity from this despot ruler and the unwonted
atrocities to which she plans to perpetuate on the world, Alex Pella must
infiltrate the company and face an enemy that has unknowingly haunted both him
and history for almost 2500 years.
Martino says he wrote THE HIDDEN REALITY more than just to entertain the reader. He wanted to create a modern
day Orwellian ANIMAL FARM to allegorically forewarn his readers of a
possible dystopia future that awaits all of mankind if humanity continues to
proceed down its path of self-destruction.
In THE HIDDEN REALITY, Martino has included such
hot-button contemporary topics as genetic cloning, unprecedented economic debt,
the rise of big government, and the threat of a New World Order run by the
economic elite, while bringing the reader back almost 2500 years into the past
when the ancient city state nation known as Greece fought the mighty Persian
Empire for world domination.
All of these elements, Martino maintains, separate his book from the pack. He
calls
THE HIDDEN REALITY “issue-oriented fiction. There are real
concerns facing society today that threaten both the sovereignty and prosperity
of our future generations. Though fictional, my novel addresses some of these
issues and predicts the potential consequences we face as a nation and the
world if they are not properly addressed today.”
