While not as polished as writers who live and breathe in the political thriller arena Glenn Beck manages to piece together an interesting yarn that gets you from point A to point B without too much grimacing on the part of the reader.
The story is a predictable enough container for the actual purpose of the tale; to illuminate and warn of what is and what will be as the powers that be manipulate public opinion and perception as a means to their ends.
Beck labels his book as a work of faction, which he defines as completely fictional books with plots rooted in fact. It is clear that Beck wants the reader to think critically of the concepts, in particular the namesake, proffered in this book. He has included a nearly 30 page afterword section with sources and notes that give the reader grist for the thought provoking mill.
