AUTHOR

Motivated by the acutely malfunctioning American economic and political system, author Franz Grueter weaves a powerful satire about how a common yet ingenious man becomes the most powerful man in the world in King Max of America.

Franz Grueter is a civil engineer, inventor, and writer. A Wall Street Journal article about new product promotion called Franz a “synergy disciple” when he proposed his novel idea to revolutionize the construction industry. “Franz Grueter—the man with the synergy project—turns out to be worth it . . . just on originality alone.” The Los Angeles Times after the 1994 Earthquake wrote about his innovative bridge construction concept, which “might have saved billions of dollars in lost commuter hours by providing instant bridges after the Northridge quake.” Franz Grueter lives in California.
