Some interesting things to think about regarding the FBI/CIA and anti-terrorism, with some Christian bible-bangers thrown in for good measure. Enjoyable, but definitely JUST genre fiction with some very current day opinions thrown in.You mention the word 'nuclear' and people go nuts. It's the news shows; they've gotten this thing blown completely out of proportion. Joe Six-pack couldn't tell you the difference between REMs and an RC cola, but he'll whoop up holy hell if some FOX News talking head mentions the phrase 'dirty nuke'.Thank God for indifference, he thought to himself. Rush Limbaugh and Mike Savage and Bill O'Reilly had been brilliant in their ability to prey upon it.
I can't decide what I think about this one. Some parts I liked and some parts I felt very frustrated...it was hard to know who to trust or which characters were likable and "good". Plus, there were a lot of characters and I sometimes had trouble keeping track of who was who. Timing wise, it also maybe wasn't a great choice because I also watched part of a show about a 9-11 conspiracy theory...and while I don't think I'm completely naive, the combination of the conspiracies in this book and the movie were a little much...I'd rather have at least a little trust in our government than none at all. At least this book a decent ending...and it was fast-paced.
