Fire War Book Review

Fire War (Fire War Trilogy Book 1)

By TT Michael

Late in the 21st century, the United Continental States of America is running smoothly. Unemployment has been eradicated, terrorism is no more, and any internal dissent diminishes by the day. Most give credit to President Meyers, and many can no longer remember the last election, but it is a small price to pay to keep the country safe from the terrorist group Hariq Jihad.

Things aren’t as they seem, however, as Gunnery Sergeant Anthony Jackson is conscripted into the personal security detail of President Meyers. While the only thing he places above his country is his family, he begins to feel that not everyone is content with how things are. Even more, he begins to fear for his oldest daughter’s life as she begins to question the eroding personal freedoms and democratic rights. Considering that entire families have disappeared over the slightest infraction, one cannot be too careful.

Torn between liberty and safety, family and country, can Jackson balance his loyalties, or will he be lead to an explosive collision with the system he has dedicated his life to serving? In this explosive and highly acclaimed dystopian political thriller novel, the world you live in will never look the same again!

MY REVIEW

In 2051, the United States had gone through years of uncertain times, and were at the height of making a comeback to being a prosperous nation again. Then terrorists attacked and brought them to their knees. This resulted in the United States and Canada forming one country called the North American Union under the leadership of President Palmer. Twenty-five years later, after including Mexico and becoming the United Continental States of America, President Palmer is rounding up Hariq Jihad terrorists and Apocalytes, making the public feel safer. What does it matter that they have given up a few liberties, to the majority, President Palmer has become a saint. But all is not as it seems.

I like the way the story followed Gunnery Sergeant Anthony Jackson. It was interesting seeing the story unfold from his point of view. But I did feel like his character was too naïve for his experience. There were too many incidents to not know what was happening. I also liked the way our past events were seamlessly worked in with their current happenings. It was appalling how much power the people gave to one man and followed him unquestioningly. Although there are examples of this happening today, this story truly brought it home.
