While anyone can hop on a plane and fly anywhere in the world for work or a holiday, investigative journalist Michael McCarthy combines the two, using his frequent press trips as research for hundreds of stories of his travels to nearly 50 countries. While ostensibly reporting about places to stay, where to go and what to do on vacation, he also keeps his eye out for hidden clues about ways that the Chinese Communist Party is secretly infiltrating western democracies in order to take over the world. The book is structured as a page turner, one trip leading to the next, told in narrative style about what the author sees and where, and why the reader should know and care about what is actually happening to the world behind the scenes. The Chinese are taking over the world, and using Westerners money to do so, a true Trojan horse disguised as actions good for all concerned, but deadly dangerous for all.

Michael McCarthy is the author of two dozen travel books. He has previously been a radio news reporter and editor, a freelance journalist for many newspapers and magazines, an editorial columnist, and videographer. Hundreds of his travel articles have appeared in many Canadian and American newspapers. Michael has traveled to nearly 50 countries, lived for several years in California, and currently enjoys life in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.
