Legitimate Power (Paperback or Softback)

The Race for the Jerusalem Crystal: A Geopolitical Thriller

What happens when an ordinary person on the outskirts of Jerusalem digs up two ossuaries and makes an extraordinary discovery: a strange, self-repairing crystal that turns into a perfect mirror under laser light.

Suspecting its unnatural origin, the crystal is bought by an American collector determined to unlock its secret. When the Israeli government learns the crystal's true nature, they want it back. The Chinese and American governments also want the crystal badly.

This sets off a brutal, high-stakes international race for the object, where espionage, geopolitical maneuvering, and shattered lives are the cost of control. A pulse-pounding political drama so real, it will make you wonder if it isn't already happening.

Perfect for fans of geopolitical thrillers, espionage novels, and conspiracies.
