Jacob's Plan

by Peter David Shapiro

Jacob Morais is just a normal kind of guy. He enjoys his life, with no big worries and certainly no dark forebodings of the kind that torment tinfoil-hatted survivalists. Then comes the shocker, the election of a dangerous buffoon as US president, a grotesque incompetent who's manifestly unfit for office. Foreseeing wide scale disaster, Jacob stores emergency supplies in his basement and buys a gun. Meanwhile back in his day-to-day world he is recruited by an old friend to join her hot e-commerce start-up. When evidence surfaces that sketchy Russian investors are using the start-up as a front, Jacob agrees to help his friend expose the investors' criminal scheme. The investors are suspicious and homicidal and Jacob's life is on the line. It's not the collapse of public order for which he prepared but it has the same Do what you must to survive.

Reviews

[Michael Veletsky · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall it was entertaining reading

I appreciate the author's political views.
The main character of the book was interesting, funny, and likable. Some details and actions of fighting the Russian mafia were a little cartoonish, illogical, and simplistic, but overall it kept me engaged.

[Lin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The beginning of the book is a bit slow but it picks up the speed soon.

This is the 4th book of the author. I find it fascinating that every book so far has a very different story but all the main characters are authentic and worth rooting for.
