Synopsis:
A power-hungry vice president, a bad batch of shady intelligence, and a sinister plot to destroy Western civilization.
Just another day in America.
On May 1, 2001, a group of radical Islamic terrorists crash a Boeing 737 jet airliner into the Mall of America—and Vice President Robert Hornsby knows his moment is coming.
The attack kills three thousand American citizens and throws an entire nation into a panic, but all Hornsby sees is an opportunity, a chance to imprint his fanatical values on the soul of the country he loves and become the most powerful vice president in American history.
With the aid of his affable but ineffectual president; the reluctant, conscience-stricken secretary of defense; and a preening, foppish faith leader with more than a few skeletons in his closet; Hornsby declares war on terror—and anyone who stands in his way. But as media scrutiny of the administration’s actions overseas intensifies, Hornby’s one-man campaign against evil begins to unravel—with striking parallels to the thirteenth century’s doomed Fourth Crusade—and sends the nation spiraling toward another deadly tragedy.
Review:
We all know that I loveee me a thriller and it’s been a while since I have found an exciting thriller from an unknown author that was really exciting and fast paced!
Now while I usually am not political based and try and stay away from the craziness, I have been diving into politics a lot lately which seemed to help with this book.
You get introduced to Vice President Hornsby, who is brutal man and selfish man that that wants the presidency for himself. So after a terrorist attack that devastated a popular Mall, the VP and President discuss next strategies and how they possibly knew about it all along.
In the American Crusade you get two different point of views, one from the government and the other from a radical party. Both sides were convincing in their ideas and propaganda. They make you question not only the political but the radical points of view as the story goes along.
This was a well written and fast paced book that leaves you questioning every point twist along the way.
Rating: 3.5/5
