For Immediate Release, May 27, 2003

G.L.Rockey's "must read" thriller novel, THE JOURNALIST, is now available in paperback. Set in 2008, the story takes place in a chaotic world of terrorism and failed global diplomacy. A dropout Jesuit, Zackary Stearn, along with a small staff of loyal employees, edits a Miami weekly--The Boca. Zack is skeptical of television news, organized religion, and politicians. He is especially leery of the President of the United States--Benjamin P. Armstrong, who seems bent on an "inspired" one-world design. Following a terrorist attack in Paris, a local Miami TV station breaks a shocking news video. The video (source unknown) puzzles Zackary. Skeptical, he with the help of a mysterious activist, Joe Case, piece together an insidious global plot.
