From the author of the internationally-acclaimed novel, THE FIFTH INTERNATIONALE, comes this relevant and gripping thriller: Thousands of classified documents are released by the whistleblower portal, exposing government and corporate lies and abuses, yet not one guilty culprit is held accountable. Damian Allende has had enough. He launches WikiJustice - an online networking site - where anyone can judge public figures who consider themselves above the law. Soon, lynchings ensue. Crooked politicians, CEOs of greedy corporations, and corrupt police officers, are found dead. But not all is what it seems.

About the Author
As a former top-secret government courier, Jack King was privy to all the ins and outs of covert maneuvering on a global scale. He has turned his work experience into a series of novels that resonate with authenticity. The corridors of power, with their backstabbing, greed, and corruption, are the focus points of Jack's books. From a stint at a dreary communist factory, playing soccer for a major league club, earning a green belt in Kyok-sul (North Korean hand-to-hand combat school), and getting twice stubbed in the abdomen, to couriering top-secret information, brushing with the biggest VIPs in the Nation, and playing cat-and-mouse game with thugs from military police, Jack also likes to boast that he no longer owns a suit, and made the brave step into a world without TV.

I loved WikiJustice. This book has a heartbeat. By that, I mean it resonates beautifully with humility, and yet keeps a perfect pace as the underhandedness of the 1% is exposed by Damian Allende. There is nothing far-fetched or pretentious about the story, it unfolds to expose the dangerous silence that the corporate and political elite commit their crimes within, and the dedication and bravery of those prepared to bring these criminals into the public eye via WilkiJustice, a networking site. Jack King has brought a story to life that will send echoes into the future....

Wiki Justice
10 Jan 2012
By Kenneth J. Janssen

Format:Kindle Edition
Books like Wiki Justice don't come along very often.
Playing off of recent socio-political movements and the power of social networking, the author spins a tale of intrigue that is seldomly seen.
Damian Allende is well intentioned with his cyber justice scheme, but instead of just creating a public outrage against the evildoers it morphs into a death knell for the individuals he targets. It was not the form of justice that he envisioned when he put his agenda into action. It is out of control.
What would the world be like if government agencies, seeing the success of his program, attempt to use Wikijustice to accomplish the elimination of "enimies of state"?
As with "The Fifth Internationale", Jack presents situations and events that cause the reader to wonder "what if this were real?"
The pages will fly as one insideous sub-plot after another is revealed.
Wiki Justice is one of Jack Kings best. It will haunt you well after the last page is turned.
If you love thrillers and you're not a fan of Jack King, you should seriously consider becoming one.

Thriller for the age of the Occupy Movement

No spoilers here: Wikijustice is a networking site where people from around the world get together to judge "the untouchables" - politicians, corporate bosses, cops, and others who stand above the law of institutional justice. Guilty verdicts are supported by overwhelming evidence supplied by documents leaked to a whistleblower site. But despite the guilty verdicts cast by millions of participants who are often victims of corporate or state policy, or tired of state crimes committed in their name, it's business as usual for the elites and their henchmen - their abuses continue. Until one day a guilty verdict is not enough and the people take the execution of justice to the next step. Lynchings begin. But do they? That's where the plot thickens.
Wikijustice as a mashup of Jack London's The Assassination Bureau Ltd and wikileaks? It's more. It's a thriller for the 21st century, with the occupy movement, and the 1% against the rest. A great read.
