"Pressing Freedom is a creative masterpiece! A hold-your-breath thriller within a thriller. Each fascinating character is so well-described their personalities jump off the pages and into your psyche. Roger Armbrust’s unique and well-crafted prose seemlessly flows into poetry and back so naturally one marvels at his gift. Part of me didn’t want to put it down, and another part wanted to slowly soak in every word and sentence. I won’t spoil the story, but be prepared for a thrill around every corner, and in the end to be literally blown away.” —Webb Hubbell, author of Ginger Snaps,When Men Betray, and A Game of Inches.
