HINTERLAND

Andy Kelsey is a reporter who may have just stumbled on the story of a lifetime. He's infiltrated a white separatist group in the Ozarks, an underground organization ready to fight and die—and kill—for their extreme beliefs. The deeper Kelsey gets in the group, the more he's trusted, and the bigger his story becomes. Until he realizes the shocking extent of their scheme...

The separatists have finalized plans for a spectacular cataclysm that they hope will bring about Armageddon. What terrifies Kelsey is that they have the weapon and the means to achieve their mad goal. Will he be able to fight them from the inside without being discovered? Or has he gotten in too deep to ever get out?

Reviews

[Bill FromPA · Rating 3 out of 5]

An OK thriller,a number of info dumps, the first of which is introduced with a statement basically saying, "here is an info dump". Not particularly relevant to current alt-right activities, but touches on their ideology / mythology.
