100 Days of Terror : A Lesson For Humanity
This book had been sitting in my Kindle's TBR stack for awhile, and as I am wrestling with insomnia tonight, what better time to start it? Needless to say, I became so enthralled with it that I could not put it down until I had read every word. In a nut-shell, you simply HAVE to read this book, and get your family, friends, co-workers, everybody you can think of, to read it also. It's not just well-written and full of excitement, action and anticipation, it is also a very important and relevant read.
I hope that the author, Larry Temple, won't mind the blatant plagiarism, but I honestly think he wrote the best review possible:
"Above all else, this is a story about a man. This is a story about a man broken by war and the loss of his family. A man whose life falls apart in the worst way possible, one piece at a time. His life is full of hope and slowly spirals out of control. He's looking for redemption and meaning but instead follows a path of destruction. In his mind, he has chosen a path to redemption, an unconventional and perverse form of redemption. A man trying to save his country through what he has learned speaking the only language he believes will be heard. He also knows deep down that lessons are soon forgotten.
One man's patriot is another man's terrorist... "
A definite 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and 5 thumbs-up!!!!!

Why Five Stars?
I gave this read five stars because it is well written and a story that had to be told. Now my personal opinion is this book inhales deeply. It goes against every bit of my being. It's a guide to terrorists to bring about the destruction of the United States of America.
Granted I'm not crazy about various actions of our government, but this book should have been destroyed by the author before it was published. Larry Temple has done a great disservice to every military member that has given their life to keep our country safe.
He is now my most despised author, which means I will give him full credit when his book is used as a blueprint by those that will attempt to use it for nefarious reasons I pray to Our God in Heaven this day never comes.

A Blueprint for Terror
Just as Tom Clancy plotted an airliner terrorist attack years before 9/11, Larry Temple plots an even more frightening series of terrorist attacks in this novel. The plot is so well conceived that I almost wanted to wish I could blow this book out of existence and forget I ever read it. It is almost too clever and disturbing. My mind is still trying to decide how I feel about the events in the book and the moral and constitutional issues they raise. It’s a thriller full of suspense that will stay with you and compel you to look at our government much more deeply and question it more closely.

Excellent book. All through the book I expect Reardon to suddenly pull himself together. One small niggling criticism, the people that live in Afghanistan are Afghans. Afghanis are a unit of currency. I don't know why but I find it grating when you refer to people as Afghani. I found the book a little on the long side. But you did keep me guessing right to the end.
I think that as a real action it would be diifficult to carry out. Not to mention the absolute certainty that something would go wrong. Something always goes wrong.

The author spends entirely too much time showing Reardon as a drunk. Showing up to meetings with a hangover, showing up in rumpled clothes that he obviously slept in. Showing up to meetings drunk. All of this is tolerated by his supervisor. Come on, now. Would this really happen given the circumstances of the novel?
It does have an interesting ending, though. And the reader's questions are all made clear in the epilogue. One does have to put the author's political views aside though. Unless, of course, the reader agrees with him.

Heavy and thought-provoking novel. Makes one disgusted with American foreign policy for the last eighty years using the likes of various black ops and CIA in the Middle East.
Washington is its own worst enemy by bullish overseas actions causing this possible fictional scenario to occur.
“Congress is completely dysfunctional. They spend more time posturing and fundraising to keep themselves in office than anything else. Anyone willing to talk of compromise is considered a radical and will likely get booted from Congress in the next election.”

I think I read these two books out of order, but it really didn't matter much. Nothing Personal ended in the most maddening cliffhanger. I almost threw my Kindle against the wall.
100 Days of Terror, was terrifying and I went to bed last night having nightmares like after 911.
I was so mad after the cliffhanger I was determined not to like the books, but I already owned the other so just continued reading. Now I'd like a sequel. I'd like to know if Laura gets cured of her personal problem. Read it yourself if you want to know what that is.

Riveting.
The premise of the novel is great, but the ends, in my opinion does not justify the means. The U.S has done terrible things, but she has been helped with the connivance of corrupt governments. Besides, this an ideological war between two religions and two political points of view. Would we sit quietly accepting a form of government that does not respect women or free expression? The questions are daunting. Conrad Samayoa.

Fearfully Accurate
So many have no problem of being searched, their car or even their home. Why not, I've nothing to hide they say.
It's not that you have nothing to hide, it's what you have that you will lose. Your rights.
This book puts things in perspective although a little long in places.
Remember, concede just one right and more will follow until America is a dictatorship.

Do not read this book. It is horrible. I regret the time I wasted on it. It focuses on the undeniably high cost of fighting evil without giving an plausible alternative By this books logic we would be the evil side in WW II
Do not read this book. It is horrible. It focuses o the undeniably high cost of fighting evil but by its standard we would be the evil side in WW II. It does not over any plausible answers to the questions it raises

Intrigued
Terrorism has hit America and it is escalating and no federal agency seems to have any control. A very interesting story based within the GNU that touches on humanity and what it means. America is being bombarded with one catastrophic day again and again. Agents Reardon and his team work round the clock to find the terrorist. Great read and storyline makes you question what we are doing overseas.

Intense detail into the world of terrorism..
Great read, extremely detailed with a hook at then end that had me flipping pages until I had answers! If you like mysteries and war stories this one is for you! Not my normal genre, but I was introduced to the author at a sports game, about as American as you can get. 100 Days of Terror will keep you guessing until the end!

Pretty obvious
Overall I liked the book but the "who done it" part was pretty obvious early on. The characters are interesting and the terror plot is well thought out. The format of the book is distracting with whole sections of superfluous information. It was a free book so I wasn't too disappointed.

Captivating and thought provoking
The thought of the events in this book becoming a reality scared the cheap out of me. However, the drivers behind the events scared me even more.. This is a must read book!

Loved this story
Loved the unusual premise of this story. Kept looking forward to the next day's attacks. I did realise who was responsible from about day 60. Don't know why I came to the conclusion I did, but upon reaching the end, found that I was right.

Great read
Book was a little slow but had a great ending. I would not give up any additional liberties. We have given up too many already. Well thought out book. Very interesting concept.

Wow, didn't see that coming.
This story certainly gives one plenty to think about. I was completely surprised by how the book ended. Great questions to ponder in the book club questions.

This novel was unbelievable. A terrifying story with a shocking ending. Scary to think this could happen and leaves so many unanswered questions. The author’s notes at the end are equally fascinating and keeps me questioning my own ideas.

Interesting premise but I had to skip countless pages where text was too dense and wordy. 100 catastrophes was too much to wade through. The ending was unexpected though.

Great book! Thrilling and thought provoking. This is a great book for book clubs.

This could really happen
This is one of those books that keeps you turning pages . Must read all of the ending and ask yourself what would you do?

Right or Wrong
I read this book a couple of years ago. I gave it five stars but didn't write the review. I had to seriously think about it. I reread it yesterday. To be honest with you guys, it scared the dodo out of me. How much of our freedom are we willing to give up to feel safe? After our little pandemic, my answer now is NONE. Do not give up any right. Fight. Live. Stand your ground. Demand The Patriot Act be abolished.
I definitely recommend this book. Read it.
