First - America 2012

Product Description
The year is 2012. America's global war on terror is at a fateful crossroads. The rise of Laskar-e-Muhammad, the most audacious and sophisticated terrorist network the world has ever seen, imperils America's national survival. As President Middlefield and top deputy Jim Constance rally America to confront the threat, worldwide criticism hampers their efforts, many detractors arguing for a policy of appeasement. Dr. Jane Crandall Offman, high profile professor and social commentator, joins Islam's intellectual elite in undermining the war on terror. Denounced in the court of world opinion and outmaneuvered by Laskar-e-Muhammad on all fronts, America finds herself abandoned and isolated. With Constance as his only trusted adviser, President Middlefield desperately tries to prevent a final act of terror that will result in the unthinkable: The ultimate doom of the United States and her collapse as a civilization.



A factual epilogue is appended to the conclusion of America 2012 to demonstrate the fictional elements of the novel have their basis in fact. A riveting political narrative in the tradition of The Ugly American, America 2012 is both a futuristic thriller and the cautionary tale of our times written by two authorities in the field.

the bit about the epilogue to show how much is rooted in fact, sorta reminds me of Dan Brown novels.

though the tags are interesting - "2012 prophecy".

though some reviewers are calling it The Ugly American for Islam. this is a good thing, right?



and second, Invasion America: The Novel:

Product Description

The invasion of America was easy.



There were no amphibious landings; no paratroopers fell from the sky.


They numbered not in the thousands, but tens of thousands.


We worked with them, trusted them, loved them.


Behind their serene exteriors beat hearts filled with hatred. The death of every American, young and old, was their goal.


We made it easy for them.


“If you strike their cities, their strength will be exhausted and their spirits will break!”
—Sun-tzu, The Art of War


Ryker nodded to the members of the press standing before him, “Ladies and gentlemen, over the past forty-eight hours there have been four horrific and evil terrorist attacks conducted against the innocent members of this community and this country. These attacks have resulted in the deaths of one hundred and forty-seven American citizens, and that number will no doubt climb further, though we all hope and pray that it does not. The killers made no distinctions between man, woman or child. They attacked without provocation our homes, a place of worship and those among us who are the most vulnerable,” the crime scene photos from the group home still glaringly fresh in his mind. “I believe these targets were specifically chosen for the severe emotional impact they would wreak on us as a nation. The attacks were meant to rattle our state of mind and destroy faith in our way of life. We, as a people, must unite and refuse to allow that to happen.”

Oh, for Pete's sake! This is one of those novels.

What a miserable choice of times to destroy or conquer the US. At the end of 2012, as you sit triumphant, the Mayan gods return and destroy you and all that you've worked for.


:D

Sounds like American fear mongering to me. Besides that, they sound totally impossible.

Also, what exactly is the Ugly American?I've never heard of it before....

Oh, and there's a reason why the Ugly American is bizzarely mentioned in the synopsis - in order that the publisher can offload some of that shit onto people who haven't read the rest of the cover properly before the rest of them go to pulp.

I heard that the government can identify people as dissidents through their tin foil purchases, in order to send the black helicopters.....

Ok: reading the description of those novels makes me feel like someone took a crap in my skull. Perhaps you should add some sort of warning to future posts of this variety? :D

While at the same time debating harshly over what the apparent threat of the Swedish Menace really represents.
