Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book has several good points, especially for an author's first novel.the characters are well-written and I could sympathize with them, at least the good guys/gal. The military technology sounded believable although I am not an expert. The story was developed quickly, but not abruptly. A few issues soon three this story off track. An ominous clue was describing "one of the most level headed reporters" from CNN. Really ? CNN? Not even the Washington Post or NBC? Slate even? It went downhill from there. The Waco debacle was written off as a few "religious nuts" . Then we are informed that an overpowering enemy has penetrated the most secret federal government intelligence and can not only read its secrets but issue its own orders even calling for a missile strike on a government building in Washington,DC! And who can marshal such an overwhelming assault? The Russians? The Chinese? A South American drug cartel even? No, it's white nationalists! Sorry! Even the Martians in H. G. Wells ' "The War of the Worlds" would have been more believable! And finally President Nash faces an unprecedented conspiracy to destroy a president "not by political means,but by force" ? Not following the Mueller report very closely, are we? Sorry! Maybe the author's next novel will be based on a more evenhanded worldview than CNN!
