Descent into Chaos

by David Page

El Kasar smiled and thought to himself, 'This is just what we have been waiting for. We get 100,000 troops in the country, and with America's military so diluted by the king, once we get organized, we will send for more troops and take over the entire country.' A scrambled call comes in to the leader of the Eastern Coalition from America's new king, asking for help. Ben El Kasar is asked to send 100,000 troops trained in crowd control to help the king's new national police force. But the king's end of the telephone call is overheard by someone else. As a member of the king's cleaning staff, Connie always followed the unwritten policy, 'Whatever you hear, keep it to yourself.' But this time was different. She needed help.

Reviews

[Tim Chavel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was written by a good friend of my mine. He has passed away since the book has been published. When I first saw the book I did not think it would be interesting. I think the cover deceived me. However, it turns out the book was an excellent read. This novel is about the USA under a president. In many ways it fore shadows how our country may turn out in the near future. The country literally goes in chaos. As the president decides that he is the only one who can make decisions. Fortunately there are still people with integrity who decide to stand up for what is right.

If you enjoy novels that deal with adventure you will love this novel.
