“Drachman’s dilemmas is a very well written book. The first few pages were a bit slow. Once I got through that part I loved the book! Being from Michigan I could picture every place Mr. Livernois was referring to and it got me very involved in the book. It is a very quick read. Once it got going I never put it down. His very detailed writing allows the reader to completely picture everything Drachman is experiencing. Great book!” – Kelli Laenen

The Hong Kong International Book Fair is one of the biggest book fairs in Asia. It is a massive opportunity for countless authors to expand their readership into a more global market. It is undoubtedly a chance taken by Thomas Livernois, author of “Drachman’s Dilemmas.”

The story follows Frank Drachman, a reasonably polite and unassuming engineer who happens to tie his own small company to the one and only General Motors. In the first few pages, the story plays out almost like a personal retelling of usual corporate life in the American auto industry.

However, his life starts taking on an odd twist when he has an unwanted altercation with a British drunk at a bar. Two months later, Frank paid back his assailant with a swift punch to the face as he had another fateful encounter with the man on his way out of a meeting.

As far as he was concerned, his little conflict was settled at that moment. He did not expect a call from the local police department telling him that the man he punched was now found half-dead in the middle of the night. He did not expect the same man to be an undercover British agent whose actions and other behind-the-scene decisions have dragged the unwitting civilian engineer into international espionage. Can Drachman survive this shadowy initiation into the world of global conspiracies, spy agencies, and hidden agendas?

The book is also available online at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
