About this ebook

RJ Janzen is a man dedicated to helping those who are losing their homes to foreclosure by suing lenders and those he believes caused the housing crisis. His powerful enemies try to stop him from exposing their greed to authorities and the public by accusing him of treason. Their investigators had discovered that Janzen was captured in the Vietnam War by the Viet Cong. Former POWs accuse him of cruelty as he aided the enemy. The fate of all participants rides on whether or not Janzen can prove he is not a traitor, but an unknown American hero. As his court martial nears the end, no one is more nervous than Janzen's enemies, including former members of the Viet Cong.

Daniel Reddell

Author's Biography History and writing are my passions, but real estate and construction have been my business life for decades. Everyday someone comes into my office desperate to save their home and I do all I can to help. I have witnessed the heartbreak, the scams, and the brutality of the banks. The same applies to war. I watched friend after friend come home from Vietnam in flag covered boxes. Those who made it back always left part of themselves over there. Our warriors of today, who have and are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, are experiencing the same thing, if not worse. I have lived in the aftermath of poverty after my parents fled the Texas Panhandle during the Dustbowl. My mother and her family lived under tarps along the Willamette River in Oregon when she was only eighteen, while my father and his family scrapped out a living by share-cropping a farm in Bakersfield, California. My mother's father, JB James, was born only ten years after the Civil War in Alabama. He was proud to be related to the outlaw Jesse James. He told his kids and grandkids that Jesse was a Robin Hood who robbed banks to give money to the poor. Banks were widely hated at that time, just like today. My parents and the rest of the Greatest Generation worked hard to rise into the middle class, but now, once again, the middle class is under attack. Conditions may not as harsh today as they were during the Great Depression, but if Wall Street isn't re-regulated, conditions will definitely begin resembling the soup line days. We all know Americans are tough. Just like the Greatest Generation survived the Great Depression, the Dustbowl, and WWII, we will get through these bad times--one way or another.
