National Security Threat Whistleblower, Wetumpka Resident to Hold Book Signing in Wetumpka

 “Blake Percival is one of the most important whistleblowers in recent

history,” Attorney Larry Golston says. “We as a country are safer because of

what he did.”

WEST POINT, GA – The former Director of Fieldwork Services for USIS and Wetumpka, Alabama resident Blake Percival, also known as the National Security Threat Whistleblower that significantly changed the manner in which background investigations are now conducted, will release his new tell all book, “Holding On To Integrity And Paying The Price – A Whistleblower’s Story” on March 2.

On March 3, he will be at the Wetumpka Public Library for a book signing, and the public is invited to attend.

The book launch is planned on the 157th Anniversary of Abraham Lincoln signing the False Claims Act/Lincoln Law.

Blake became a Whistleblower in July 2011 when he exposed that USIS, also known as US Investigations Services, was billing the U.S. Government for background investigations that allegedly had not been properly reviewed. Among the 665,000 clearances allegedly not properly reviewed by USIS were NSA Leaker Edward Snowden and Aaron Alexis who shot and killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard.

For 4 1⁄2 years, Blake was not allowed to talk about the case, but once it settled in December 2015 that changed, and he was featured on the front page of The Washington Post as the Whistleblower. Blake is now sharing his experience in his new book, “Holding on to Integrity and Paying the Price – A Whistleblower’s Story,” being released on March 2, 2020. Books can be purchased at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes and everywhere that books are sold.

Limited edition autographed copies can be purchased online at www.blakepercival.com/store or at any stop on his nationwide book tour.

The Book Tour kicks off in Montgomery, AL with a Private Party on March 2nd and continues to Blake’s hometown of Wetumpka, AL for a Book Signing on March 3rd at 11 a.m. at the Wetumpka Public Library.

The event is free to the public and a light lunch will be served.
