  • The Phipps Conspiracy on June 22, 2011

    The Phipps Conspiracy What message lies in a document that can possibly change the course of history? Was there a ‘Hamilton incident’ that could be tied to a meeting with President Jefferson and John Adams that never took place? Who was and what did Augustus Phipps have to do with the role in the message? Doctor Lispeth Beauregard, Historian, and beautiful out of work professor is tossed into a whirlwind trip on the East Coast from Boston to Charlottesville to uncover the mystery. Destined to meet with the henchman of the Council of Seven, the governing body of the Legion of Alexander, Raven, UberSoldat 1-A, world traveler is out to kill anyone who will unearth the mission of the secret society that could be reviled by the letter. The story fits the bill for true entertainment in reading a fictional story based on history as it was written. How much is fact and how much is fiction? The Phipps Conspiracy was written by an authority in the historical facts, a background of education and travel that will keep you guessing until the end – and then some. The direction of the tale that Rick Harlowe weaves is a tangled web that has more turns as a corkscrew. This is a ‘read-at-one-sitting’ book that will define intrigue, mystery, and suspense in a harrowing tale of our nations deepest secrets. Harlowe paints his visual creativity with scenes that will put you in the heat of the action. This is a ‘must read’ for those that want true entertainment. The only thing wrong with the book is not enough people know about it. I cannot wait for the movie. John Baird
