That’s right, The Blockchain Revolution, a Tale of Insanity and Anarchy, is available now at Amazon, And for the next week, it will be sale priced (in eBook format) at just $0.99. You can (and I hope will) buy it here: https://amzn.to/2Izy5qb It’s also available in paperback here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1733714413 What better way to spend a lazy Saturday morning than to curl up with yet another story about how life as we know it could end as a result of weak cybersecurity?
If that doesn’t spin your wheels, how about this? The Blockchain Revolution also skewers venture capitalists (again – but hey, they deserve it), follows a face-off between U.S. President Henry Dodge Yazzi and a Putin-esque Russian president named Sergei Denikin, and introduces a new Adversegian animal antagonist named Fang (he’s a squirrel). What more could you want?
Two loyal Friends of Frank have already posted posted five-star reviews. Beta Reader Doug Norton led off, writing:
Andrew Updegrove has done it again. Continuing the theme begun with The Alexandria Project, he has created another timely and cautionary fictional tale of digital mayhem just at the moment that its nonfiction counterpart is entering our lives. The Blockchain Revolution, besides being a great read, is probably the best chance we ordinary readers will have to understand this new technology that may become the means by which we bank our incomes, shelter our savings, and pay our bills. To the familiar and welcome characters—Frank and his adult daughter, Marla, and CIA official Marchand—Updegrove has added deftly-skewered bankers and investors, plus his most complex villain to date. His unheroic hero, Frank Adversego, amuses, instructs, and warns the reader as he literally saves the world as we know it. Not to be missed!!
Besides demonstrating exquisite literary taste, these faithful readers have provided a most welcome boost to my marketing efforts by taking a few minutes to post a review. It’s very hard to get new readers without a solid number of favorable views, so their generosity is very much appreciated.
So there you go. If you decide to give Frank 5.0 a go, I hope you enjoy it (and return to post a review).
Sounds like an offer that I can’t refuse – can I have a horse’s head with that!
Great to hear from you, Minrich. About the offer, though, I’m afraid the rest of the horse might object.
Hi again, Andy. I hope it’s okay to count myself in Frank’s friendship group even though I’m inactive on social media these days. Thankfully I’ve just come across his fifth adventure and will be starting it forthwith! Best wishes as ever from the UK.
Welcome back, and I’m delighted that you’re going to give my latest a try. I hope you enjoy it, and if so, that you might find the time to post a review at Amazon, as you so kindly have in the past.
Meanwhile, I hope that all is well with you, and that the blustery weather isn’t preventing you from enjoying Spring. My wife and I are living in London for March and April, and I’d forgotten how many different types of weather you can experience in a single day. No, make that ‘hour.’
