Book Publicity - The Trust

The Trust
Norb Vonnegut

Norb Vonnegut returns to Newman Communications for his third novel, THE TRUST (Minotaur Books, July 2012). Having worked with Vonnegut for book publicity and promotion on THE GODS OF GREENWICH , Newman Communications is pleased to have him back with his much anticipated newest release.

Every one of Vonnegut’s novels has a big idea grounded in reality.  THE TRUST shows how some financial criminals hide behind the First Amendment–specifically freedom of religion. The idea for the story traces back to an incident when Pablo Escobar’s first cousin tried to open an account with Vonnegut’s PWM team at Morgan Stanley.

Having worked on Wall Street for twenty years, Vonnegut (cousin of the late Kurt) is more than qualified to tell the tale. He combines his wealth management expertise and intuitive, darkly humorous writing into a fast-talking, suspense thriller that burrows inside the world of big-money philanthropy.

Executive Intent

Author: Dale Brown
Publisher: William Morrow

After the success with his first book publicity campaign for ” Rogue Forces ” ,  Dale Brown has returned to Newman Communications  with his newest title, “Executive Intent”.  Brown, the New York Times-bestselling master of military suspense, is back with an action-packed tale of intrigue and technological weaponry that puts the world’s superpowers in contest for dominance of space as well as Earth’s oceans.  Newman has produced another book publicity campaign, and spread the word on radio stations including: LA Talk Radio, WBZ in Boston, CNN, Cable Radio Network and stations in Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit and more.

About the Book:

The United States begins to establish the ultimate High Ground, a space-based anti-ballistic missile and anti-satellite system in Earth’s orbit, which could protect not only America, but also her allies from attack. The most controversial part of the system is Mjollnir, a precision-guided artificial meteorite that can strike almost anywhere on the planet in a matter of seconds. China responds by setting up dozens of anti-satellite missile sites around the world aimed at America’s Armstrong Space Station. Meanwhile, a series of accidents in space, the possibility of an arms race with China, the upcoming elections and a worsening economic outlook all put the pressure on U.S. President Joseph Gardner to cancel the weapon satellite system and call for treaties to eliminate all space-based weapons. But instead of negotiating, China surges its military forces for the first time since the Korean War by invading Somalia and Yemen and capturing the vital shipping lanes in the Gulf of Aden.

Now, America’s vaunted nuclear aircraft carrier battle groups are in the crosshairs of Chinese hypersonic missiles and hunter-killer submarines. Russia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and others see America’s military dominance eroding and rush to take advantage.
