In this pulse-pounding action thriller perfect for fans of Brad Thor and David Baldacci, Tom Locke must stop dark forces working to overthrow the president”McFate just might be the next Tom Clancy, only I think he’s even better . . . The action is non-stop and shuttles back and forth between scary-believable and rollicking good fun. I read High Treason during a six-hour plane ride and the trip went by like the snap of my fingers.” —James PattersonWhen the US vice president’s motorcade is hit in a vicious, expertly planned attack, everyone assumes it’s terrorists—everyone except young FBI agent Jennifer Lin. Half a world away, Tom Locke has his own doubts about what happened—and who did it. He suspects his former employer, Apollo Outcomes. But why would the global private military corporation orchestrate such a brutal strike on US soil?Returning to DC, Locke teams with Lin and discovers that a civil war is secretly brewing in the military-contracting world. A division of one company has gone rogue, led by a power-hungry former colleague of Locke’s. But this man couldn’t have pulled it off without help from inside the government.Who could be pulling the strings? Only Locke can get to the bottom of the conspiracy—and blow it apart with one bold strike before it’s too late.”High Treason has brutal assassinations, shocking betrayals, even heated gun battles in the shadow of the White House. It had me breathless—from the sheer audacity of its storytelling to its breakneck pacing. It’s not to be missed!”—James Rollins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Last Odyssey

Advertising is the industry of our time…
Whether it is called ‘the permissible lie’, ‘the only true new art form’ or ‘the lifeblood of capitalism’, it increasingly influences the whole of our lives — from the toys our children demand to the TV programmes we watch, from the drugs our doctors prescribe to the way we vote.
It is pervasive, global — and growing.
There are three times as many advertisements now as fifteen years ago — but in the new age of satellites and electronic wizardry, the real explosion is still to come.
At the same time, with vast computerised information banks and new psychological techniques, the industry comes closer and closer to its target of persuading us to act as it wants when it wants.
Intrigued by what he found, he embarked on three years of interviews in New York, the power centre, in Tokyo, and in London, widely regarded as ‘the Athens’ of world advertising today.
The Want Makers was conceived when the author was asked to help relaunch an advertising and marketing magazine.
He talked to the people who matter in the business, some of whom speak with extraordinary candour.
The result is a stimulating look at the whole world of advertising — from the research to the creation to the impact.
It is not an anti-advertising book — more frightening than even the worst excesses, believes Clark, would be a world with no advertising — but there are disquieting revelations, and the book does raise a number of worrying and important questions.
Praise for Eric Clark
