Entertaining...but it could have been better.

In this fast-paced thriller set in the not-so-distant future, the world is in the clutches of an alliance of governments, poised to install a single, global dictator.
When an EPA intern uncovers evidence of a massive political cover-up involving a nuclear testing project called THOR, he turns the documents over to his supervisor, Dale Crawford - and then dies under mysterious circumstances. As Crawford struggles to put the pieces together - and stay alive himself- he enlists the help of two others who are committed to exposing the truth before the THOR Conspiracy brings a malevolent superpower into being.

This would have been a three star book if the writing was better. I love a well written book and while this one has a fabulous story, the uneven writing and abrupt ending unsettled me.
Failure to draw parallels to the state of America today is to have fallen asleep at the wheel. The green agenda politicians so gleefully push today has resulted in America becoming a third world country in this book. When trees and not children are valued, we all lose.
Too bad history tends to repeat itself as nobody remembers enough about the past to avoid the same mistakes.

As a sequel I thought this book lacked some in development and didn't quite live up to the quality of The Illuminati. Regardless, it was still an excellent read with a quite unique concept for historical events.

Neither The Illuminati nor The Thor Conspiracy have aged well. I enjoyed them in the 1990s when I first read them, but on a second read this year I was both amused and disappointed by the poor writing (Burkett uses the phrase "he could care less" when it should be "he could not care less" as well as other common grammar errors) and outlandish plot.

Complete silliness.

Overall a great read. A little hard for me to get into it in the beginning. It has to do with our government and, of course, not everyone was honest. At times, I found it scary to think maybe our government could turn out the way it was in this book. Check it out! Let me know what you think.

Environmentalist have taken over the US government and society and America is no longer a world power. A 50 year old coverup regarding the ozone layer threatens to expose the environmentalist culture and power.

This was a very interesting book. If we aren't carefully, this could actually happen to the USA and the world. People need to really question the actions of its governing body and not just go along with their programs.

Trying to get through. It's very preachy and the action is sparse. But I hate not finishing books.

I didn't really expect much out of this one. It had its moments and kept me engaged. Try Joel Rosenberg intead.

Enjoyed The Illuminati better...this one seemed a little anticlimactic to me at the end, but still a fun government conspiracy thriller...made me want to read up a little more on global warming :)

A timely government thriller book about environmental issues and government manipulation and cover-ups. Kept my interest and makes you think.

Lots of interesting tie ins to current events although it was written 15 years ago. Good plot; tho' very "convenient" wrap up, and not the most intriguing prose I've ever read.

More true than when written in 1995
