The Counterpoint Trilogy by D.R. Bell (Books #1- 3)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 372 kB | 402 kB | 445 kB
Overview: I am an accidental writer. In “real life” I have graduate degrees in business and engineering and spent many years writing boring technical, business, and legal papers. In late 2012 a friend’s death prompted me to ask what would be the one thing I regret not doing. I’ve always been an avid reader but have not had the courage to write. And I made a New Year resolution to write a book. That’s how “The Great Game” was born. D.R.Bell is a pen name, I was too intimidated to use my real one when I was publishing the “The Great Game” – what if it’s absolutely horrible? I was planning to end my writing career after that and actually managed to stay away for two weeks before starting the next book. I guess once you get the writing fever, it’s hard to stop.
I try to write about serious topics but wrap them into an action-filled story. In that formula I’ve been influenced by Ayn Rand works. Like her, I grew up in the former Soviet Union. I will readily admit to libertarian leanings, particularly when it comes to the balance of power between the state and an individual (“Madisonian” would probably be a better term – I think libertarians, classic liberals and conservatives have much more in common than typically realized). These are the types of issues I try to deal with in my books, together with the seduction of power, inequality and its impact on the society, consequences of financial policies, technological evolution, global struggle for supremacy, etc. Hopefully I do this in a way that does not put readers to sleep. While all my books are entirely fictional, each of them carries a Commentary how the fiction is rooted in facts and realities of current events.
The main characters in my books are always regular people. You will not find people with super-human abilities, zombies or vampires. No cool MI-6 or CIA agents with nerves of steel. No visions of apocalypse. Not even unconventional sex. Just ordinary people trying to rise to dangerous challenges when placed into difficult situations. The setting is either near past or the near future, based as much as possible on the actual events, facts and trends.
Genre: Thriller > Political
The Metronome (The Counterpoint Trilogy Book #1)
Pavel Rostin has taken too many chances. Once a promising physicist, he abandoned science for finance and risked everything on a speculative venture. Careless and rogue, he gambled with his personal relationships. As Pavel tries to pick up the pieces of his life, a call from Russia informs him that his father is dead.
When Pavel follows his father’s footsteps trying to solve the mystery of his death, he turns up some inexplicable clues. The investigation draws him deeper and deeper into his family’s past – and his country’s future. From starving 1941 Leningrad to free-wheeling Moscow of the mid-1990s to bubbly 2006 Wall Street, Pavel uncovers a web of money, murder, revenge and evidence of a plot involving the world’s superpowers. The choices of right and wrong don’t look as clear cut as in newspaper headlines. But is he just a pawn in someone else’s game?
The Metronome is the first book in The Counterpoint trilogy and a prequel to the already published The Great Game.
The Great Game ( The Counterpoint Trilogy #2)
Chickens came home to roost in September of 2019. After years of patient preparation, a China-led block of countries stages an overnight financial coup to unseat the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Fortunes are made and lost in a matter of hours. But some have more far-ranging plans than financial gain.
Computer engineer David Ferguson has no idea that a chance meeting with a friendly stranger in the airport will change everything. Suddenly, he is running for his life, without knowing why or from whom. In trying to evade his pursuers, David accidentally involves Maggie Sappin, a graduate student and a transplant from Kiev. To save themselves, they have to uncover the mystery behind a financial crisis and political upheaval that followed. From Los Angeles to Texas, Kiev, Moscow, New York and Hawaii, the body count mounts along with the layers of deception in a global conspiracy as two innocent people become key players in—The Great Game.
The Outer Circle ( The Counterpoint Trilogy #3)
The Outer Circle is the last book in The Counterpoint trilogy. It brings together the characters of The Metronome and The Great Game to conclude their stories.
It’s 2024 and the world is divided, pitting the United States against the combined forces of China and Russia. In China, domestic unrest pushes the leadership to act against Taiwan. In Russia, under the surface a power struggle is brewing. Such is the backdrop of the U.S. presidential elections where the established parties face a challenge from unexpected political newcomers.
The two heroes of The Great Game, now fugitives, discover that not everything is what it seems and someone invisible is pulling the strings behind the scenes. But can they stop the events set into motion before the world slides into a war?
