Publisher's Synopsis
Factor X is the protagonist in in this period piece, We Are Guerillas; its focus is on Danny Fairchild, an ordinary guy who, by happenstance, becomes extra ordinary in his pursuit of lifting American labor off its back: By hook and crook, he gains livable wages, workers' rights, and workplace security for American workers and, plans to organize the giant companies, Amazon, Walmart, and Starbucks. But first, he must combat commerce's backlash that follows successful organizing.
Danny Fairchild's mentor warns him: "If commerce cannot beat you in the vote, in the negotiations, and in the courts, they will kill you." Murder, high-rise-falls, shootings, strangulations are the handmaidens accompanying Fairchild's startup union, American Federation for Americans.
The ex-Marine if forced to fall back on the "kill or be killed" that Vietnam combat pounded into him: If coercion and trickery does not work then murder is the only solution for organized labor to progress.
Women pursue the unionist, captivated by his dynamics and good looks, and stand in line to assist him in his organizing pursuits; but the woman who wins his heart is the woman who vows to assassinate him, but only on her seduction sheets.
We Are Guerillas is a template for union building. We Are Guerillas is also a who-done-it mystery incorporating murder, intrigue, and love for readers to enjoy.
