“Super fast and thrilling enough to chill your spine and shock your wits to the very core.”Believe me, nothing can make you put down this book once you’ve started it and crossed the 100 page-mark. And for a book thats a heavy 572 pages long, coupled with small black font – to make the reader go on and on is a great achievement.
The idea behind the book is simple. A section of the American Military (the Air Force primarily), spearheaded by Caesar Russel, has secretly revolted against the US Presidency. And with help of a few traitor doctors of the White House, Russel manages to get a transmitter implanted onto the wall of the heart of the President in a general health operation. Fourteen mega destruction bombs have been placed in metropolitan areas – bombs of such capacity that they may entirely scar 1/3rd of the U.S.A. These bombs transmit a signal to a satellite in the sky, which sends it to the transmitter in the President’s heart. As long as the heart of the President beats, the transmitter responds to the signal from the satellite. Bottom Line – the bombs can only be stopped from detonating as long as the President’s heart works – as long as he is alive. So where does Area 7 come into the picture? Area 7 is a secret military base of the U.S.A, in the Utah Desert controlled by the American Air Force. The drama begins when the President arrives at Area7 on a routine visit. Soon after his entry into the base, Russel shuts down the base – seals it off completely, and makes a declaration – a warning to the President about what is in store for him – that the President can no longer go out and escape, that he is trapped in an air base with military forces wanting to kill him, and that he must save his heart, keep himself alive, if he wants U.S.A to exist and not perish under the detonation of 14 mega power bombs. Of course, there’s the President’s secret service detail that goes around with him and a group of faithful marines – the only hope for the President to keep himself alive. Amongst these marines, is our hero – Schofield (codenamed SCARECROW). Following that, is an epic story all about a race against time, a race for survival, and a race to save America from perishing.
But this is just the basic idea. There’s more to the story than you think (don’t worry I won’t leak out the whole plot now!). There’s a highly advanced vaccine, an international conspiracy, a racist setup, a 10 year old boy, high speed boat chases, a space ship invasion in the middle of the fight and a lot of high octane drama – packed with shooting, shocking, spiraling twists and turns that make you sit on the edge of your seat and shock you to your bloody wits. The writing is simple, crisp and ‘unbelievably pacy’, as the Daily Mirror calls it, and there’s a new thrilling shocker to chill your bone at the turn of every single page.
Must read, I say. Pick up a copy today (I don’t know how much it costs, since I picked up one randomly from a second hand book shop!)
