Synopsis

WINNER of nine national and international awards, including the 2010 Independent Book of the Year and Best Fiction at the Paris and New York Book Festivals.

While observing the Presidential election in Romania, a Congressional staffer is kidnapped by Communist rebels and held captive in a remote area of the Carpathian Mountains. The quest for his safe return takes Congressman Richard Thompson to a dark side of international politics which no one dares talk about in the halls of Congress. In trying to save the life of the young American, Thompson must do things he thought impossible for him to imagine, let alone execute.

Review:

Taut and tense political drama wrapped in American history and tradition. A solid and compelling journey. --J. A. 'Jack' Kerly, author The Hundredth Man

I m confident that this will be Rick Robinson's third consecutive, award winning, book. His writing skill and lifetime as 'insider you need to see' shine through with a riveting novel that keeps us on the edge of our seats. --Don McNay, syndicated columnist and Huffington Post Contributor

I maintain that the best storytellers hail from Kentucky and Rick Robinson is among them. A political insider in the Beltway and the Bluegrass, Robinson masters the vernacular of both. Anyone who knows anything about Kentucky politics--and Robinson does--knows it's often stranger than fiction. Once again, he has crafted a page-turning, can t-put-it-down-until-the-end, political thriller. Manifest Destiny is his best yet --Vicki Prichard, scriptwriter, Emmy award-winning doucmentary, Where the River Bends --Vicki Prichard, scriptwriter, Emmy award-winning doucmentary, Where the River Bends
