The Greed Beneath the Empire: Vol. 7-10 by Lamar Golden and Liana Golden (4 Book Spotlight)

Volume Seven

Control the system, and you control everything.

Victor Clayton has spent his life bending the world to his will, but his latest ambition is his most dangerous yet. Manipulating elections, silencing opponents, and stacking the courts, he’s poised to become the most powerful man in America—without ever running for office. But the deeper he digs into the foundations of power, the more he risks his empire collapsing under the weight of his own greed.

Opposing him is Caroline Sawyer, a fearless activist who knows the stakes are higher than ever. As protests erupt and secrets are exposed, the battle for democracy becomes a fight for the soul of the nation.

In The Greed Beneath the Empire Vol. 7: The Puppet Master: Victor’s Political Game, the line between savior and tyrant blurs in a thrilling exploration of power, corruption, and the fight for justice.

Volume Eight

He lost everything in his pursuit of power. Now, he’s determined to save the world—or is he?

Victor Clayton’s empire of influence once spanned industries, governments, and media. But after his political downfall, he faces his greatest challenge yet: proving he can use his wealth and power for good. From eradicating homelessness to offering free healthcare, rebuilding education systems, and leading the charge in green energy, Victor positions himself as the architect of a new world order.

But as his vision unfolds, not everyone is convinced of his motives. Is Victor Clayton a reformed hero driven by redemption, or is his new empire just another ploy to consolidate control over society?

The Greed Beneath the Empire Vol. 8: Rebuilding the Future is a thought-provoking thriller that blurs the lines between ambition and altruism, challenging readers to question the cost of progress.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Volume Nine
 
How far would you go to redeem yourself?

Victor Clayton built an empire through manipulation and greed, but it cost him everything—his family, his reputation, and his peace of mind. Now, he’s determined to use his wealth and power for good, launching global initiatives to bring clean water, education, and healthcare to the world’s most neglected regions.

But the path to redemption is anything but smooth. As Victor fights against corruption, corporate sabotage, and a scandal that threatens to destroy everything he’s worked for, he faces a question that haunts him at every turn: Can a man who once thrived on greed truly change?

With his family watching from the sidelines, Victor battles to prove that he’s no longer the villain he once was. Victor’s Redemption is a heart-pounding journey of transformation, second chances, and the price we pay for the lives we choose to lead.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Volume Ten
 
 
He built an empire on greed. Now, he must lead a nation with integrity.

Victor Clayton had it all—power, wealth, and control. But when his past catches up to him, he’s sentenced to serve time in the very luxury prison he built for men like himself. Behind the walls of The Haven, Victor begins a transformation from disgraced billionaire to unlikely reformer.

What starts as a personal journey of redemption evolves into something far greater. Victor envisions a new kind of empire—one where former power brokers, ex-cons, and forgotten communities unite to rebuild a broken nation.

When his conviction is overturned, Victor doesn’t return to comfort—he runs for president.

Faced with smear campaigns, media warfare, and political assassins with microphones, Victor fights not just for votes, but for the soul of a divided country. Can a man haunted by corruption truly change the system—or will the system crush him before he gets the chance?

The Story of BicentenniKILL

 

“Vote as if your life depends on it” becomes reality for a small town police chief and his activist daughter when they are forced to defend it from power hungry animatronic historical figures brought to life by a mysterious comet.

July 3rd, 1976 — the eve of America’s bicentennial. Tensions between local politicians and counterculture “radicals” are at a boiling point when the town of Miniwaukan, Wisconsin, “the Sauerkraut Capital of the Midwest” votes to rebrand itself “Patriotism’s Front Porch” — a transformation led by its power-hungry mayor, Jack Peepgrass.

Things come to a head when a mysterious comet brings sentience to animatronic historical figures from the town’s a newly built Hall of Patriots, and the robots embark on a campaign of terror that culminates with a diabolical plan to fill an empty seat on the town council with an animatronic Grover Cleveland.

Standing in their way are activist Nina Harewood and her politically-neutral father, police chief Dennis Harewood, who clash over what it means to “protect and serve” when it’s the system itself that threatens the status quo.
