Description
From the New York Times #1 bestselling author of The Christmas Sweater , An Inconvenient Book , Common Sense , and Arguing with Idiots comes a heart-stopping new thriller about the consequences America will soon face if we continue to take our freedoms for granted.
Meet Noah Gardner, a twenty-something public relations executive who seems to have all the makings of a killer eHarmony profile. He's smart, handsome, well educated and, like many in the younger generation, far more concerned about the future of his social life than the future of his country.
But that all changes when Noah meets Molly Ross, a mailroom worker at his company who is consumed by the thought that the America we know is about to be lost forever. Noah doesn't believe much in conspiracy theories, or care much about the day-to-day happenings in Washington, but as events begin to unfold exactly the way Molly predicted, Noah becomes increasingly suspicious.
As the two ruling political parties do their best to keep Americans divided and distracted, a historic terrorist attack shakes the country to its core. As those around him panic, Noah realizes that a master plan to transform America is rapidly unfolding. Exposing that plan, and revealing the conspirators behind it, is the only way to save both the country and woman that he loves.
Seamlessly weaving together American history, frightening facts about America's present condition, and a fast-placed plot, Glenn's new thriller will educate, enlighten, and, most importantly, entertain his fans in a whole new way.

- (5/5)Until 3 books ago ,I hadn't known about the Author in Glenn Beck. Well written and orated , having shared it to a few people, I believe it a favorite.
- (4/5)Mr. Beck's second fiction book was good, but not as good as I suspected it would be (based on where I thought he was going). It was still good and he keeps you engaged enough to flow through the book. His concept presented in this book is right on with the way our political system (and more so, how those in powerful places within our world are taking us). Recommend. ***May 20, 2012***
- (5/5)What can I say? I couldn't put this book down. I hear that is a sequel coming this year. I can't wait. The thing is , all this could and most probably is happening now. It makes you wonder about every thing you see and hear about. It sure opened my eyes as to how we are lulled into a false sense of reality. Highly reccommend it.
- (1/5)Unfortunately, I could not get into the book. It was actually slow moving from first page to last and I struggled to finish it thinking it might get better. To be honest, since it was boring reading to me, I kind of lost what the whole premise was all about, so if anyone at LibraryThing has read this, please let me know what I missed. :(
- (4/5)I just finished this book, and, to tell you the truth, I'm not quite sure how to rate it.It's the type of book that makes you think and consider the possibilities; unfortunately, the possibilities offered in this book are frightening.What if some of the known horrendous events that have happened in this country had been orchestrated with an ulterior purpose in mind? What if a power group had arranged some events to ultimately have the public think the way they want them to think, react the way they want them to react?Although this book is fiction, many of the references are based in fact and the combination is riveting.When Noah, a young man associated with one of the most powerful public relations firms in the country meets Molly, an idealistic believer in the power of the people, the result is a story that is shocking in its believability.A good read.
- (4/5)Pretty good, a little predictable. Pretty prescient, considering it was written a few years ago, but many topics applied to current events.
