Voices Behind the Curtain

Gordon Zuckerman writes his works of historical fiction with the informed eyes and ears of an international businessman who is a student of history. Following the sale of his company in 2005, he decided to spend time researching what the real story behind the story of contemporary defining events, might have been. Each of the events, in a different format are repeating themselves today. Impressed by how often irresponsible leadership utilizes the privileges of 'free-enterprise' to pursue self-serving agendas, often at the expense of others, he decided to share his findings with a broader audience of interested readers. Utilizing the genre of Historical Thriller" he is able to tell his historically rooted plots through the fictional lives of his principal characters. Mr. Zuckerman has been convinced how the combined efforts of a small group of dedicated, resourceful problem solving, entrepreneurial leaders, "The Six Sentinels" are capable of solving big problems. In each book, he identifies a different defining problem of interest. He follows by telling the story of the "Sentinels' opposition to the self-serving objectives of differing combinations of industrial resources, the financial support of "Wall Street", and the acquired support of government influence. As each book unwinds, the reader is able to share in the lives of the Sentinels and the interesting people they encounter along the way. Romance, intrigue, disappointment, trust, betrayal, and threats of intimate danger are never very far away. Intellectually he can visit some of the world's great cities, smaller towns, and villages of interest, have drink or enjoy a great meal in some of the world's great restaurants, private clubs, and luxury hotels.
