Corruption of Power by G.W. Eccles takes readers on a rollicking ride through corridors of intrigue and bloody chaos as the once powerful nation of Russia tries to recapture the strength of its greatness. Financial gain has replaced the manifesto of the Soviet Union with a long line of oligarchs. Money and power are real, and neither have a conscience.

Into this cauldron walks an independent troubleshooter, Alex Leksin, whose task is to cap the well of catastrophe raging in the middle east, washing up on the borders of Russia. Death stalks Leksin as he finds himself surrounded by corruption, terrorism, insurgency and assassination. Is he a pawn in a deadly game of chance, or an integral part of a carefully designed political machine that turns trust into dust in order to win against all odds?

This a terrific thriller beautifully paced as it gets faster and more furious in the final third of the book. I give it five stars. -- Temple Emmet Williams, Former Editor, The Reader's Digest

“Corruption of Power is an action packed political thriller that is beautifully written and artfully plotted, with events mirroring actual real-life conflicts.” Catherine Rose Putsche Book Blog

This is the second instalment in the Leksin series and follows main protagonist, Alex Leksin, who is an independent trouble-shooter, recently recruited by Prime Minister Saidov and President Karpev, to investigate a planned pipeline deal that involves shifting Russia’s vast energy resources to the East. Leksins mission is to check the pipeline deal is above-board. Saidov wants Leksin to give the project a clean bill of health. However, Leksin only has twelve days to report his findings before Karpev is due to sign the pipeline contract with the Turkmen President in Ashgabat. Leksin begins his investigation in Moscow only to discover that the heterogeneous group that are responsible for planning and funding the pipeline contract are his ex-partner and her spiteful brother, Max. Leksins further investigations lead him to Turkmenistan, one of the world’s most sinister countries and from this moment onwards Leksin must be on his guard as he finds killers on his trail who will stop at nothing to eliminate him by assassinating the only people who can help him and that the intelligence he is given turns out to be false and misleading. Leksins mission for the truth leads him from one terrifying situation to the next where the risks of surviving get considerably higher.
This novel explores two governments, one Russia, the other Turkmen, both of which are corrupt and looking to expand their powerbases in different ways. Corruption of Power boasts an elaborate and complex plot, where the twist and turns are particularly surprising and plausible. The strength of the novel lies within the unfamiliar locations where it is based and gives the reader a real insight into the growth and culture there.

Eccles has fashioned a suspenseful and engaging story against the backdrop of political corruption, state-sponsored terrorism and increased Taliban insurgency that I am in no doubt reflect the times in which we live in today. Congratulations Mr Eccles, for bringing us a fundamentally flawed hero who in the face of danger combats adversity through bravery. I look forward to reading more of Leksins adventures.

I especially enjoyed the description of the landscape and flora of places I am unlikely ever to visit, not to mention the local characters who appeared in the story.
An exciting thriller which I finished within a few days. Great story and a fluent plot which offers an inside in the complex circumstances and political intrigues in this part of the world.
A great read; impossible to put down as you never know what is coming next. Although fiction, it is clearly based on inside knowledge of the places and cultures involved; presumably possible due to Mr Eccles' background. A fantastic follow-up to The Oligarch. Highly recommended.
It is not often that one hits on a winner. I have been very fortunate to read this splendid thriller. It is so up-to-date that you can quickly be aware of how dangerous our world could/has become. Judging by Mr Eccles's CV, which indicates that he has been to the 'Stans, obviously some of the most inhospitable places on the earth, and this comes across vividly. Politics, or rather geo-politics, are paramount to this totally gripping novel. There are plenty of unpleasant people and deciding who is a real 'goodie' takes a while to establish. Splendid 'action' sequences and unpleasant animals are included in the mix. Buy this book
