The author is a teacher and a businessman whose interest in writing started years after a successful business career and in the classrooms when teaching at UCLA. The first accomplishment in his new endeavor was the publication of a textbook, Fundamentals of Accounting – The Students’ Approach, which is color-coded, making it the first such publication. The Great Force Trilogy, beginning with The Drive, was his first attempt at exploring the fictional and imaginary world outside the business and educational reality. The Great Force, a sequel to The Drive, starts a few years after that story comes to a successful conclusion. The trilogy ends with this novel, The New Peril, which also starts a few years after The Great Force ended, and completes the saga of Alexander Thagrate and the members of The Great Force.
