I read a lot of thrillers, but I decided to quit this one halfway through for two reasons.
First, the main character was much too bloodthirsty for my taste. And second, the whole premise of the book involves an unrealistic view of government power and rightwing justifications of lawlessness, which I found politically objectionable.

Every American CITIZEN should read this book. The preface alone is reason enough to turn off your TV, your cell phone, your iPad, your laptop and read this. Don't skip over the preface, it is short and spectacular. Mr. Carr knows what he is writing about-this book is forceful, intelligent and thought provoking.Some may see Reece as a foolhardy man, but I (and many others) see him as a courageous and fearless Navy Seal who doesn't like being manipulated by his own government and sets out to right the wrongs perpetrated by certain members of said government .It is a fine work of fiction, but often times rings truer than we would care to admit.
