This novel is not politically correct. The author pushes the envelope by describing how things could be if America ever elected a fanatic president of her own, someone who has no qualms taking the lives of millions of people. The goal of the main protagonist is the complete destruction of many of the world's Muslim countries and the removing of all Muslims and Arabs from the United States to produce a safer nation. The story blends imagination and reality. There are many references to current and historical events. Characters resemble actual politicians and world leaders. But the fictional equivalents are probably more extreme than similar figures in the real world. The book gets better with each page. Do not let the title fool you, it is a great thriller, and not in the least a political comment on Islam. Other political thrillers, and television shows such as 24, usually venture to the brink then retract. This book goes beyond the precipice; that is what makes it unique.
