America is now $39 trillion in debt.
You’ve been told the system is stable, but for decades, the real foundation of American power wasn’t gold, it was oil.

Ever since the 1970s, the global economy has depended on one simple rule – if you want energy, you need dollars.
Every country buying oil had to first buy U.S. currency, creating massive global demand that helped America finance wars, expand its economy, and pile up mountains of debt.

Now, that system is starting to crack.

China, BRICS, and major oil-producing nations are building alternatives designed to bypass the dollar entirely. And if fewer countries need dollars, fewer countries need to buy U.S. debt.

That’s where this becomes personal.

America already spends over $1 trillion a year just paying interest on its debt, mortgage rates, inflation, retirement savings… All of it depends on foreign governments continuing to absorb trillions in American bonds.

From the collapse of Bretton Woods and the secret U.S.-Saudi oil deal, to China’s mBridge system and the slow unraveling of the petrodollar era, this is the story of how oil helped sustain America’s debt machine, and what happens if the world stops playing along.

Mackenzie Boru earned the nickname Reaper from his colleagues in black ops due to his violent tactics and insane bravery. But when the US government no longer has need of his services, he retires the Reaper—or so he thinks.

Mac is now in the middle of his fallback plan. He’s gotten a PhD in history and has moved to Las Vegas for the climate and the female companionship. But then he finds a bit more than he bargained for.

Her name is Danni Greenbow, and she’s drop-dead gorgeous. She is a brilliant and outspoken software engineer. She also happens to be a transgender woman. Mac has had little experience with the types of challenges she has faced in her life, but he decides he wants to be there for every new one that arises.

Then, the unthinkable happens. Danni is kidnapped by los Toros del Diablo, a motorcycle gang that operates gunrunning and narcotics enterprises all over the Southwest. To find his girlfriend, Mac will have to become the Reaper once again, but will his killer instincts and commando skills be enough to bring Danni back alive?
