Recently, I had a visit from my son, who lives in Texas. He came in to attend his sister’s funeral. We hugged at the door, and then he handed me a book. “You’ll like this, but I have to warn you that it is brutal. I just finished reading it, and I agree with his assessment; I liked it.
I never heard of author Kurt Schlichter before but the cover art caused me to jump right into the read, and I was about three chapters into it when I had to stop to check something out. Up to this point, I assumed this was a non-fictional story based on real events. What stopped me was that the author kept referring to a terrorist attack in the USA that happened on August 27, 28, and 29. I am usually up to date on my news and I had to Google the news of that period. There was no mention of any terrorist attack anywhere. That is when I finally realized that the story is fiction. This story strongly resembles current news and government. The president is clearly Joe Biden and his daffy Vice President Kamala Harris, but he never mentions their names anywhere in the story.
The plot of The Attack is genius. It is a war against the USA that is fought by hundreds of terror cells manned by thousands of illegal immigrants who came into the country over an open border and disappeared totally unchecked and unverified by anyone. The organizer, who remains anonymous, funded and housed cells of four to twelve or more agents in key cities throughout the country. They were to await instructions for when to go into action, having been prepped on their roles before hand; to kill as many Americans as they can before they themselves are killed. These are young men who will die and go to heaven to receive 72 virgins.
The attacks will be as follows:
DAY 1. Kill people, in no gun zones, schools, malls, airports, crowds in public places, etc., to overload the 911 system, and to cause confusion and chaos.
Day 2. Shift to neighborhoods at random around a city to spread police and emergency services apart. Kill families, and pets.
Day 3. Shift to infrastructure such as refineries, gas stations, water systems, train stations, airports, bus stations, and public transportation. Overload the 911 system, the police forces, fire departments, medics, and hospitals
The nationwide attack begins at 12:00 p.m. EST. All jihadists wear GoPro cameras linked to social media to broadcast the killing across the world to spread fear.
To explain any further would only spoil the outcome for readers.
I thoroughly agree with my son’s prediction that I would like the book. I recommend this to everyone as a wake-up call. The extent of our freedoms is making us stupid in so many ways. Throughout the story, the author uncovers how our liberal attitudes will someday cause our country to suffer. He also emphasizes the importance of owning firearms and learning to use them.
In the final chapters, Schlichter deals with how the government should respond to a mass attack as the one he has so eloquently formulated.
I give this story five stars, probably because I heed his message to be prepared.
