The Chip
On July 4th, 2017, the worst terrorist attack in United States history took place. Seven planes hit buildings in five highly populated cities. As the country is reeling, Elise McCoy steps forward as the voice of the American people. She authors the most viral White House petition in history, calling for radical changes in national security measures.
However, as Elise leads the charge for increased security measures, her husband Cal fears that she is going too far. As tensions mount between Cal and Elise, Elise is unknowingly placing herself in greater and greater danger. As the danger increases, it becomes apparent that only Cal can save his wife from her own cause.

So Lame. So, SO Lame 👎🏽
This book’s premise was so outrageous that I had to see what the story like was. And, boy, was I ever suckered.
Cliché after cliché all laundry on the foundation that ‘America is falling.’
Please, dolt read this. Not if you actually care about well woven storylines that won’t make you vomit in your mouth.

Oh, my. I can't believe the end is really the end. What in the world is going to happen to our characters? Wonderful story. Gripping story. Timely story. In fact, I'd give the story line 5 stars.
The reason I gave it only four stars will seem picky to most people.
Right at the beginning on page 1 I was disappointed that the author was writing about something he SHOULD know, but either didn't, or didn't care enough to get right. There is no Jefferson Monument in Washington, DC. There is a Jefferson MEMORIAL, however. He repeated this later in the story, so at least he was consistent in his error.
Then there is the use of proper English : "This is her" instead of "she," "drive a wedge betweeen Elise an I" instead of "me." Then one reads "of me and you together," "wants me and her to have.". Did this guy slep though English class? Does he not know the proper use of pronouns and that one ALWAYS puts oneself last in a sentence? And one rule everyone should know by now: Never trust spellcheck! "Your on" instead of " You're on."
With a good editor, or simply a review by a qualified high school English teacher, this could have been a 5 star story. I hope there is a sequel and that he asks his English teacher to critique it before it is published.

First, I really did want to give this book more stars. But it got the stars it did due to the editing or lack of. I am far from being someone who should talk about the grammar of another,
but when that person writes a book I think the editing is a major part of the process. If I can pick it up than it's an issue. The story overall was great! A quick read, which when I am enjoying a story Is the reason I am not a fan of short stories, the topic grabbed me when I read what it was about, just seeing where our Country is heading now, and how we have been so willing to sign over so much of our privacy. It ended as if there could be more... I do hope so

This is a brisk novella, an extended short story combining elements of terrorism, social media saturation, government intrusion into privacy, and manipulation. It is a quick, fun read, and it seems clear to me to be the first issue in a serialized novel of some sort. (This author has similar designs in other writings.) As at least one other reviewer has pointed out, the author could use an editor. I got this one for free; I don't think I'd pay for it.

I found this book is grabbing and interesting to read. I am on Cal's side all the way even though I am a woman.
WHOA! This is a very short e-book fiction. I will not allow any chip implanted in me for my freedom sake. Great book to read and short. It is scary how much the government can control. I don't want too much government control.

The concept was ok, but the story and character development wasn't great. I suppose that's all one could fit in such a short story. Could be the basis of quite an exciting novel

Quick entertaining read, however I found it lacking in one of the 5 main elements of story: resolution. And I don't mean everything has to be happy in the end. Still, it held my interest.
