Look for the exciting prequel, Legends of the Circle, out now on Amazon.

IMAGINE YOU HAD ALL THE MONEY YOU EVER WANTED at the push of a button. The power to control law enforcement, politicians at the highest levels, the judicial system as a whole. To have what you want when you want it, whatever it is. All you have to do is kill someone . . . before someone kills you.

MEMBERS of THE CIRCLE don't have to imagine such a life. They live it. The liberation of being both hunter and hunted. The salvation that comes with such freedom. A chance to feel truly alive. A chance to savor each precious moment. Because in THE CIRCLE any moment could be your last.

DOUGLAS GOODWIN isn't rich. He isn't powerful. What could the sacred society of THE CIRCLE possibly want with him-just a regular guy with a regular job leading a regular life? What would drive them to coerce a young man who has always valued integrity over hedonism into their midst? And why would Doug agree to submersion in a world of secrecy and murder? It's unthinkable.

THE HARSH REALITY? Doug has been inducted into an institution where friends become enemies overnight, loyalty is nothing more than a punchline, and conscience is a burden. Where he will be hunted and expected to hunt other members to their death. With no escape from THE CIRCLE's ubiquitous influence and domination.

HOW FAR WILL DOUG GO? How much will he sacrifice to preserve his way of life? Will he be swayed by the money, the women, the power? Or will THE CIRCLE consume him, as it has hundreds of others before him, and leave nothing but another nameless corpse in its wake?

Viga Boland for Readers' Favorite:
"Galgon checks all the boxes when it comes to creating and keeping the suspense at an all-time high. His characters are captivating. Well-rendered dialogue keeps the pace moving quickly to its logical and deadly conclusion... A real gripper with an intricate and refreshing twist on an old theme."

Feathered Quill Book Awards Judges' Comments:
"The Circle is creepy... action-packed and very mysterious... not a story to forget."

- Shanna O'Mara - The Navesink Journal
"The Circle has the rapid progression and intense appeal of the ever-popular Divergent and The Hunger Games, but is laced with enough realism to plant the seed of fear -- or at the very least, mild suspicion -- in any reader now overanalyzing the world outside the book. Highly recommend for any thrill-seeker or mystery lover!
