Zero God

by Tommy Birk

A secretive and influential foundation based in Washington D.C., led by a charismatic charlatan, seeks to bring to fruition an apocalyptic vision of the future based on its extreme religious views. To this end they have placed a 'Manchurian candidate' into the political system, one who unbeknownst to them was involved in the rape culture of the Abu Ghraib prison controversy. An emotionally damaged small town lawyer stands in the way of national disaster.

About the author

Tommy's interests include the history of German and other waves of emigration to America. Tommy reads novels and histories, and he studies cutting edge and futuristic science.

He traces his fascination with woodlands back to his German forbears from Bavaria and the Black Forest. Tommy’s family owns forested lands and these spark many of his ideas. But his writings go further. Tommy has been an activist of the type that embraces a changing world which struggles with new questions of right and wrong almost daily. His writings reflect these feelings. Tommy lives in Jasper, jogs and lifts weights to stay in shape, and indulges his passions for writing, law, government, and politics.

Reviews

[Russell Blandamer · Rating 3 out of 5]

A thought-provoking epic

Zero God treads a tricky path between political commentary and secret society thriller. The vastness of the ground Birk covers is slightly daunting, but his writing is engaging and uncomplicated, and his characters have commendable warmth.

Another masterpiece by Tommy Birk. I would start with Beneath the Rock first and then read Zero God because both deal with the Balbach family. It isn't necessary though because it deals with the next generation. I liked how descriptive the author was throughout the whole book. I felt the book started off great, finished great and was very entertaining throughout. The book was hard to put down and definitely something I looked forward to getting back to reading each day. There were never any dull moments. The book also gives you something to think about considering our current political climate. I also enjoyed the ending because it there was a nice little twist. When talking about the author on the back cover it states that he is hard at work on his third book. I look forward to the next one and hope that it is connected to the first two.
