About this listen
A new world order looms
In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, one man’s promise of peace becomes humanity’s greatest threat.
Reuben Rogov, a charismatic third-party President, emerges as a beacon of hope in troubled times. He brokers peace in the Middle East, faces down global superpowers, and conquers both the border crisis and a deadly pandemic. As the world hails him a sociopolitical messiah, Rogov ascends to unparalleled power–but at what cost?
Darien and Marisa, a young couple from Houston, find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a rapidly changing political landscape. As Marisa is drawn into the heart of the new world order in Washington, their relationship is tested by distance, loyalty, and mounting suspicions about the true nature of Rogov’s regime.
Don Johnston’s gripping narrative serves as a stark warning about the potential consequences of unchecked power and the seductive allure of false peace, all the while keeping pages turning like a classic by Philip K. Dick or Ray Bradbury.
Kirkus Reviews hails it as “A chilling, futuristic tale of freedom lost.” Don’t miss this thought-provoking thriller that will leave you pondering long after you’ve turned the last page.
Grab your copy of “By Means of Peace” today and discover why sometimes the path to hell is paved with good intentions.

It only takes a second to set Grace on the path to justice once again, when visions spin from Toby’s eyes. A stream of blood cascading down a bronzed man’s chin, creating a river that descends his neck and chest, before his body slips beneath a crush of white, foamy water.

Over 100 years ago, a group of witches made their way from New England to Whitewater, Wisconsin, known as Second Salem. Others also made their way to the city and, through their ignorance, unleashed an evil entity. Three sisters, the Willoughby Witches, created an incantation strong enough to ensnare the demon. Lord Henry McDermott, college professor, anthropologist, and archaeologist, has yearned to learn more about the legend of the Willoughby Witches. Taking the summer off to research the folklore, Henry discovers that there is more waiting for him in Whitewater than just a story.
