OverviewNot so many years into the future, the U.S. federal government has grown far too big. America's ruling party has turned autocratic, and federal taxation amounts to thinly disguised theft. The Constitution matters less with each passing month. In a year, it might not matter at all. Three mysterious persons, and a very lethal woman in her seventies, quietly plot to restore the freedom Americans once knew. The woman's mission will be the hardest, and even seems impossible. That's why she first must steal nuclear weapons. --Meet Lena Wysocki. She was a U.S. government assassin early in her career, later led the tiny intelligence agency she worked for, and retired to do espionage-related consulting. She still knows the black arts as well as anyone, but thinks her era has passed. Lena has a rare disease. She'll die in much less than a year, but isn't worried about facing her death. She's worried, instead, about America's future. The country she served long and loves well might only outlast her by a generation, as freedom's slowly bled away by domestic tyrants. However, Lena thinks it's now somebody else's problem. It has to be so. She's just too old and too sick. But then, without warning, it's her problem. There's a plot underway to rid America of the Federal Revenue Service-the unprincipled, ruthless successor to the Internal Revenue Service. Only Lena can lead the vital first stage of that plot. She rises to the challenge. She'll be immersed in action, adventure, suspense, nagging remorse, and dogged hope-all as she tries to keep three interwoven love stories under control. A middle-aged couple demonstrates that marriage is a very good thing, getting better with each passing year. Their example helps remind Lena of what might have been in her own life. Also, two young people fall in love, even though forbidden by Lena to do so. Not what you'd expect from an action-packed techno-thriller that men can like as much as women will, huh? Somehow it all works, maybe because gentle humor helps the story along. We think this novel's going to delight adults of all ages.

Drawn in from the outset, the reader is immediately by Lena's side, feeling the aches, pains, limitations and impossible odds that she must overcome in order to do what needs to be done. There's never a dull moment in Rainstorm Revolt as you're led along on an action packed quest to restore America's freedom. You won't be able to put it down."" --- Bil Howard for Readers' Favorite ""... The Rainstorm Revolt by Randall Jarmon is one of the most refreshing thrillers I have read in a long time. Imagine a top-secret conspiracy against the government with a 76-year-old retired lady super spy at its forefront. Lena, however, is no ordinary 76-year-old, but a combination of amazing skill and wit. It was incredibly thrilling to follow her story as she set about piecing together her mission details."" --- Faridah Nassozi for Readers' Favorite ""...This was a really good and amazing book. I loved it to the very end. Never at one point in the book did I get bored, and the plot kept making me guess at who was behind something or what would happen next, creating the perfect amount of suspense and mystery. It also had a really good mix of both action and knowledge shown through strategy. And of course there is always just a pinch of love and romance thrown in. I really enjoyed The Rainstorm Revolt and hope to read more by Randall Jarmon."" --- Sierra Edelen for Readers' Favorite ""... It was an exciting read that kept me up until the crack of dawn, dying to know what would happen next for the champions of freedom. But it also made me stop for a while afterward and think about the future described within the pages. It's a sadly plausible world and that really caught me off guard. I love a book that will make you truly consider the topic it discusses and Randall Jarmon really did that for me in The Rainstorm Revolt."" --- Samantha Coville for Readers' Favorite ""... The Rainstorm Revolt by Randall Jarmon is the most entertaining espionage thriller that I have read in a long while. Lena Wysocki is a force with which to be reckoned and the concept of eliminating taxation is fascinating. The subtle humor Jarmon employs (The Manhattan SomeTimes) keeps the reader actively engaged and anticipating the next turn or twist of his already fast paced tale."" --- Lisa McCombs for Readers' Favorite" Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
