Touching The Soul
(2022)
Touching the Soul is a flat-out race to survive and to protect the world’s most valuable intellectual property.
Imagine the world of today poised for a scientific revolution the likes of which we have never seen. Breakthroughs that will directly impact Big Energy, Big Pharma, Big Auto, Big Religion, Big Military, Big Brother… Big everything. President Camille O’Keefe and a tech company called Liquid Sky are prepared to provide this new technology to the world. However, the prevailing power structure refuses to go down without fighting back. They will stop at nothing, not even assassination, to control the technology that threatens and end to their domination.
Touching the Soul is a powder keg. The dark side of humanity emerges, bloodthirsty, vicious and deadly. What ensues is nothing short of an exhilarating, gut-churning roller-coaster ride as Camille and her team are hunted by a Consortium, a murderous collective of power brokers trying to seize control of the intellectual property Camille knows will propel the world forward collectively. Not only does this new technology harness and convert gravity into a usable power source, it also enables people to connect psychically. Is it any wonder the Consortium, the world’s most powerful people representing the world's most powerful entities, wants to squash it before it squashes them with the collosal force of radical transformation?

First Nine Novels:
“A powerful novel by a Wall Street insider. A must-read for anyone involved in stocks and the market.” -- Maribel Suarez, Investment Associates, June 27, 2002
Listen to a sample from the audio-book version:
In this first offering of financial thrillers, author David Mallach introduces Johnny Long, the man with the financial knowledge, the man who develops investment strategies and makes them available to the Everyman, the man who sees the true risks and rewards behind everything. From the outset, Johnny must make choices – hard choices – in a world of high-stakes investing and intrigue in which choosing wisely means a life of purpose and choosing poorly means unaccomplished dreams.
In this novel, Johnny shows that “money is nothing in itself.” Rather, it is what we do with wealth that brings meaning to a life well lived. Here begins the relationship as Johnny meets Austin Montgomery, a college student cut adrift and ill prepared for a world in which he has no family, no money, and no mentor. Together, Johnny and Austin accept a challenge in which they stand to win millions… or lose everything in the process...
#2: Walking With The Analysts
“An invaluable gift of knowledge to all of us who seek need growth of income for ourselves and to help others. Thank you, David Mallach!”
-- Gustavo Barrantes, Charity Executive, Latin America
Listen to a sample from the audio-book version:
Walking With The Analysts is a gripping, often gut-wrenching novel in which the worlds of Wall Street and third-world poverty collide. Renowned money manager Johnny Long accomplishes for himself the challenge of bridging these seemingly disparate worlds together. Racing against the clock in a desperate attempt to rescue an African hospital from financial ruin -- saving countless lives in the process – Johnny Long must adapt his investment strategies to stave off the erosion of a deteriorating economic environment. There is far more at stake for Johnny Long than simply landing a new account. There are lives at stake… men, women, and children.
“Another Winner -- Mallach's accumulated wisdom and experience teach you everything you need to know about successful investing in a fun, easy to read format... This novel makes you think and feel; and no matter how many times you read it something else comes to light that you had not previously thought about.”
KA Bushnell - Senior Vice President, March 18, 2011
Listen to a sample from the audio-book version:
Renowned money manager Johnny Long is back and this time the stakes are leveraged like never before. This third offering in David Mallach’s critically-acclaimed series of “financial thrillers” takes us into the cut-throat world of options trading and clandestine hedge funds to expose the men behind the curtains who are changing our world faster than we know. In this novel, Johnny Long finds himself in the middle of two worlds colliding as he tiptoes along the fault line of human nature where money meets morality. Caught up in a high-stakes investing contest among the world’s most powerful investors, Johnny Long must come precariously close to the breaking point where the majestic façades decorating “progress,” “knowledge,” “wealth,” and “philanthropy” crumble to reveal the true modes of power and resistance are lurking behind...
#4: Myth, a Wall Street Thriller
“Mallach’s writing is sharp and compelling. His characters are well crafted. A simple tap on the lip, for example, speaks volumes about Brown. Stains on Marat’s clothes reveal that he is as sloppy as he is brilliant.”
-- Diane Gardner – ForeWord Reviews
Listen to a sample from the audio-book version:
Johnny Long is back and better than ever as he takes on the most challenging crisis to hit the financial-services industry in decades. In Myth, we have a harrowing tale involving a retired couple in dire distress. Their income has been decimated, the result of depending on fixed income over years of declining interest rates. Their options are few and their future bleak. How will they survive?
They turn to Lucien Marat for help. Armed with a passion to help others, Lucien Marat takes on Wall Street in a trial that he hopes can save millions of retirees from certain ruin. What unfolds is a shocking account about “business as usual” on Wall Street as well as a probing look at consumer accountability. Along the way, we learn that there is cause for hope, that there is another way!
In this, his fourth novel, David Mallach triumphs. His handling of controversial material is both insightful and fair-minded. Myth is the kind of book that can rock the foundations of Wall Street. Myth is far more than a novel; it is a startling expose wrapped masterfully within a narrative that grips the reader from the start and refuses to let go...

The Trillion Dollar Sure Thing….in a world where we take everything for granted, everything is about to change...
The Middle East is about to change for the better. Century-old problems will be uprooted and redirected toward a new beginning. A new future for all people in the Middle East is about to begin!
"Turning Final, David A. Mallach's sixth novel, is a spellbinding tour-de-force that combines complex characters, attention-grabbing dialogue, and a riveting plot..." -- Sharon Cromwell
Turning Final is David Mallach’s sixth novel. Set in the wake of a momentous political victory for Senator Becket Rosemore, the story that unfolds takes us behind the scenes of a man who would be president. Setting his sights on the White House, Beck embarks on a journey to become the most powerful man in the world. He enjoys rock-star status and appears to be a force for change and equality. He enlists the help of his fiancée, Camille O’Keefe, a renowned author and spiritualist, who can bring a wider, softer appeal to his candidacy. Everything in Beck’s life is going according to plan.
As the story progresses, Turning Final heads in a very different direction. Mallach takes us into a world we seldom see, a world where the most powerful men in the world reveal who they really are. What unfolds is a penetrating, disturbing tale of privilege, deceit, and abuse. Mallach shows us the darkness that lurks inside the men who run our world, a world on the precipice of moral decline, and he does so with startling clarity and frankness.
"Angle Of Attack, David A. Mallach's seventh novel, takes us from Washington, DC to The Middle East and on to Africa. This book reads like the news pages have come to life with characters we wish were real. Novels about the worldwide terrorism problems are everywhere, but this one offers some hope. I enjoyed reading Angle Of Attack."
-- Doug Streeter, La Cañada Flintridge, California.
Following her estrangement from President Becket Rosemore and having mostly recovered from a catastrophic and suspicious car accident, Ex-First Lady Camille O’Keefe finds herself at a crossroads.

When a massive earthquake rocks Peru, a Liquid Sky research facility perched high in the Andes is buried in the rubble. Yet amidst the devastation, a ray of hope shines. For all its destructive power, the earthquake released a fascinating gravitational anomaly... energy... a tremendous release of gravitational energy.
And the race is on. As Liquid Sky develops gravitational energy into a radical new energy source that's ubiquitous and open to the entire world, it becomes immediately apparent that gravity power will immediately topple the global hierarchy. As gravity power becomes a reality, the many forces that oppose it ramp up their resistance in an attempt to control this new threat to the Industrial Military Complex, Big Energy, Big Pharma, Big Everything.
Camille O'Keefe is back, again finding herself in the middle of a torrent. As dexterous as she is spiritual, she must maneuver through a labyrinth of opposition while also managing her political aspirations including a run for the White House and the opportunities stemming from there. It's all about possibility.
The tremendous possibilities of Gravity Divided inherent in the upheaval of the prevailing order of things are the possibilities of human ingenuity stunted only by fear and ego. Gravity Divided takes us into a world where hope for the many is consistently undermined by the concentrated will to power. A magnificent world in which technology creates new life forms and new bodies struggle against the reactionary forces of mass-produced yesteryears, Gravity Divided is the space between us where the prevailing paradigm is reformulated and the future re-made.
One Energy… the future is now, and now is everywhere.
After coming into her own as the visionary, red-headed heroine who took world politics by storm, Camille O’Keefe, is back on center stage. This time, the famous spiritualist is making an historic run for the White House. Seeking to bring genuine change to a world she sees as ripe with possibilities yet fraught with disparities, Camille joins forces with her old friend Johnny Long, one of the world’s best money managers, in a brilliant gambit to make the recent discovery of gravity power accessible to all people.
Amidst a battle to control gravity power, Camille and Johnny devise a magnificent, two-pronged plan to tap both the immense power of gravitational energy and the immense power of America’s economic system. Camille and Johnny, along with their team, set about making the best of America a tangible reality rather than an antiquated dream.
One Energy one of David Mallach’s most ambitious novels. Set in the near future, Mallach unleashes his ensemble of quirky, colorful, charismatic characters and sends the reader with them in search of the wonderful universe of possibility. Nothing is sacred in a Mallach novel, and One Energy is no exception. Every page posits and confronts at one and the same time. Perhaps more importantly, One Energy marks the apex of Mallach’s voice as a modern writer for its subject matter alone. Strong female leaders rising to social, economic, and political prowess, spirituality, alternative energy, wealth disparity, connectedness, and hope.
These are but some of the threads David Mallach has woven into this fabulous tapestry called One Energy.
