The 2024 presidential election is the focus of two selections in this week’s Newsmax Rising Bestsellers – both giving insight on the monumental event with behind-the-scenes detail. There is also an explanation of what’s been called the “hoax of the century,” which took place in the middle of the Cold War, followed by a U.S. senator’s thoughts on “America’s Revival,” only made possible through “We the people.” And, as always, there is the novel of the week, an international nail-biter from a New York Times bestselling author.

“The Beijing Betrayal (A Marcus Ryker Thriller),” by Joel C. Rosenberg (Tyndale Fiction)

In this latest installment of the Marcus Ryker series, Ryker and his team are in Pakistan on a hunt for the world’s most wanted terrorist when they get word of a communist Chinese plot to invade Taiwan. Beijing plans to simultaneously render the United States powerless to help her ally by unleashing a devastating new virus on the population. All this is happening while the U.S. president is about to travel to Beijing to open up trade negotiations and firm up a counterterrorism agreement. “Well-developed characters offer insights and flavor the larger story effectively,” wrote Matt for GoodReads. “I enjoy the many plot twists and surprises based on potential events that Rosenberg is able to lay at the reader’s feet, never running out of ways to turn the story on its head. I am eager to see what Rosenberg has in store for readers next, but I will be patiently waiting.” [Fiction]“Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes (William Morrow)
