I was drawn to the book to see how well a retired NFL jock could write. The writing wasn't too bad and the plot had lots of twists and turns. In my rating, rarely does a novel exceed three stars, so this isn't an awful novel. It is loaded with too much Christian context while the good guys are killing the bad. That seems a bit incongruous. Further, while the bad guys are praying to Allah earnestly, the good guys pray to the Christian God. Who is right seems to depend upon who wins the gunfight! That definitely downgraded my rating.Some of the contextual facts (like names of hospitals are accurate) while the football team the hero plays for are the Mustangs, not the Broncos. Some of that makes the book somewhat contrived. And clearly the plot is set up for the next episode. Three stars might be a little generous.This is the sequel to Monday Night Jihad, staring Riley Covington, the football star and military special ops guy. It was thrilling during a few scenes, but overall it was less interesting than the first book. Also, the ending left me thinking, "That's it?" Overall, I was annoyed by the extreme preachy-ness that the book gave off. We get it. It's a Christian novel, but a) it's not advertised that way, and b) it doesn't have to be so preachy to be a Christian novel. I felt like I was in the middle of a sermon that was anti-Islamic/Muslim/Middle-Eastern. (Does every Muslim have to be a terrorist? Is a Christian Middle-Easterner really such a big deal?) Promoting a Christian agenda while simultaneously tearing down other religions and races just doesn't sit well with me.
What do You think about Blown Coverage (2008)?
Great Book, It seems like this is what can happen in todays world.
