Genre: Thriller

Publisher: Morgan House Press

What if war wasn’t a tragedy, but a business model?

When Alex Morgan, a rising star in wealth management, stumbles onto a series of cryptic financial clues, he doesn’t just uncover corruption — he unmasks a global conspiracy. Behind the headlines of the war in Ukraine lies something far more chilling: a private empire of shell companies, black-market trades, and political operatives who are turning global conflict into personal profit. The deeper Alex digs, the more terrifying the truth becomes. His own father may be at the center of the scheme. His mentors may be funding both sides of the battlefield. And the woman he trusts most might be the key to it all — or the final betrayal.

From Caribbean tax havens to Wall Street boardrooms to shadowy Zoom calls between oligarchs and ex-presidents, Prophets of War is a pulse-pounding political thriller that tears into the machinery of modern power. Inspired by real systems, real tactics, and real moral failures, it asks a question no one wants answered: What if the next world war is already on the balance sheet?
