Could there be a plot to help the Chinese take control of our governments? Just how hard would that be? Could it be prevented once started? What would happen to our nation if they won?

The China Conspiracy brings such possibility into 'could-happen' as an unexpected win puts an unknown into the governor's chair in Virginia. He reveals quickly his agenda of forging close ties with communist China.

The story begins with the disappearance of two CIA employees and a trap set for a third, Kit Olsen. Will it force her into the arms of the enemy? Or will she be able to withstand the pressures and threats they can exert on her? When her son is kidnapped, she is forced to face the desperation of her situation.

Carter Leigh is anewspaper man of some experience and resents being sent to interview the new governor who reacts sharply to some inadvertent statement Carter makes. This gives Carter an idea there may be a story behind his reaction.

Kit and Carter wind up working together to rescue her son and keep him safe. Kit discovers how the new governor won his election. How many others in the country have also been the victors in rigged elections? Can they stop it from going further? Who can she trust?

This is a story that will hold your interest all the way through. The characters are lifelike, each driven by necessity or protecting ones they love or by motives of greed or power. One will remember The Manchurian Candidate, but this is a more complex story. There are many questions to answer as the story unfolds and more forming as Kit and Carter try to unscramble the mess.

Highly recommended as an enjoyable read, one that will make you wonder about the usefulness of some technology and just where our society really is headed. Lots of tension, lots of movement, never dull. Enjoy. I sure did.
