The Cassandra Trigger

by Adrian Wyllie

In 2028, a working-class family of four struggles to survive after an economic collapse cripples our nation. Hopelessness, hunger and fear grips ordinary Americans, as an increasingly totalitarian government uses biometric surveillance and brutal enforcement to retain power and crush dissent. The family’s small act of civil disobedience quickly evolves into a terrifying and violent encounter with federal agents, forcing them to leave everything behind and run for their lives. Desperately trying to evade the technology of tyranny, they are sheltered by compassionate strangers who are willing to risk everything to help them. When their paths cross with a group of revolutionary computer hackers, they unknowingly become the catalyst for a long-simmering insurgency, which holds their fate…and the fate of our nation…in the balance.

There wasn't an ending to the book. It was like the author just got tired of writing it.

This could be written by a fifth grader. The language and depth reads like book written by a kid who listened to his parent's rambling conspiracy theories while they were packing the basement for the impending worldwide depression. I like post-apocalyptic books. I even like Gary Johnson, who the main character claimed to have voted for. So the idea behind the book isn't horrible. However, it's a thinly veiled political statement by a D-list political figure. If Adrian Wyllie's writing is any measure of his competence I don't question why his political bids have failed. The vocabulary and sentence structure in this book make me feel more simpleminded than my 6 year old cousins. Not even worth the percentage of the Kindle Unlimited fee I pay monthly. I picked this due to the high rating, but I imagine the other reviewers are actually his friends and relatives...who he had to pay just to say they enjoyed this drivel.

A very plausible future for our country.

I had met Adrian Wyllie when he ran for governor in the state of Florida last year, and what he writes in this book is absolutely terrific, but also eye opening. Gives the book a read and I hope you all enjoy it as I had.
