The Executive Order

De: David Fisher

Narrado por: Pete Cross

In a post-Trump world, a relatively unknown candidate, Ian Wrightman, is elected president to heal a nation frayed by years of extreme partisanship. When a series of coordinated terrorist attacks rock the United States, Wrightman begins to take more and more executive control in the name of protecting democracy. But DC reporter and war veteran Rollie Stone uncovers evidence that the attacks might be coming from somewhere much closer to home. As Wrightman's executive orders turn to declarations of war and restriction of rights, Rollie is forced on the run as he tries to get the information into the right hands. But who can he trust?

In this all-too-realistic thriller inspired by the Sinclair Lewis classic, It Can't Happen Here, one journalist will do whatever it takes to stop his country turning from democracy to dictatorship.

Engrossing. Alarming.

This is a very well written book, nicely performed. The main character is a wheelchair bound veteran who becomes a political journalist and uncovers a very real threat to American democracy. The fact that the events he writes about are beginning to happen under our very noses makes this book an alarming prediction of where we are headed as a country unless we recognize the threats to our civil liberties.

Very disappointed

I am by no means a Trump supporter, but this book goes out of it's way to bash him. It's set 2 administration's after him, het he is brought up over and over. If you are right leaning at all, this author will make you feel like he thinks you're an idiot. I stuck with it, even though is was overly slow and drawn out. The ending was extremely lack luster and doesn't tie up a good chunk of the plot.

I get he is trying to serve this as a warning to people. But it very much misses the mark. Not worth the purchase.
