Bestselling author Norman Brewer has announced that his compelling political thriller, 'Blending In,' will be available in ebook form at no charge on September 5, 2024, on Amazon. The novel offers a gripping exploration of domestic terrorism, a threat that disrupts the very fabric of society, fostering an atmosphere of suspicion, division, and fear.
'Blending In: A Tale Of Homegrown Terrorism (The Anti-Hero Rebellions Book 1)' examines domestic terrorism through two protagonists, Stickman and Maple, who defy conventional stereotypes. Unlike the typical portrayal of terrorists as isolated extremists, these characters are everyday individuals who seamlessly blend into society while secretly plotting catastrophic attacks. This narrative approach makes the story all the more compelling and thought-provoking.
The novel details planned attacks on two soft targets: a press conference in Washington, D.C., and a bustling mall in the American Heartland. As other extremists rally to their cause, the tension escalates, leaving readers to grapple with the urgent question: can these homegrown terrorists be stopped? The story provides a haunting reflection on the nature of extremism and the thin veneer of normalcy that can mask the most dangerous threats, found right here in our streets.
Readers and reviewers have high praise for 'Blending In.' One Amazon reviewer stated, "Fantastic read- the best I have read all year! Relaying the story from inside the homegrown terrorist mind is brilliant as it takes the reader through intertwining actions of terrorism. Too realistic for comfort." Another reviewer commented, "Excellent, just excellent! Brewer has written an extremely interesting book. Very, very believable. Non-stop action. Taken together with his follow-up book, Killer Politics, he has raised the standard for this genre. I can't wait to see what he writes next!" Another added, "For fans of thriller novels, Blending In does not disappoint. Characters are well developed throughout the story, with non-stop action that is not only lively but also frighteningly realistic. It's one of those books that can be easily imagined as someday becoming a movie."
The ebook version of 'Blending In' will be available at no charge on September 5, 2024, on Amazon.
Book 2 of the series, 'Killer Politics: A Satirical Tale of Homegrown Terrorism,' features a Trump-like president inspiring a white supremacist to launch attacks on innocents in a bid to incite civil war. The supremacist teams up with a "Most Wanted" terrorist to attack a rock concert, contaminate the food supply, and cause other mayhem, while a rogue FBI agent is in hot pursuit. Razor-edged satire aimed at a so-called President Tower is "keen and stinging," according to one reviewer.
Brewer's latest political thriller, 'January 6: A Novel,' explores a scenario where democracy is assaulted when the President's rally morphs into a mob that storms the Capitol. Right-wing extremists take the House Speaker hostage, forcing a standoff and unleashing terrorist attacks nationwide. The President considers declaring martial law to restore order and justify refusing to leave office. Retired four-star Air Force General Michael Hayden remarked, "January 6: A Novel underscores my worries that the assault on the Capitol could happen again, defiling our freedoms and threatening our democracy."
Midwest Book Review stated, "Although a work of fiction, 'January 6: A Novel' provides genuine and vivid insider glimpses of what might come next in 2024 in real life. All kingdoms, empires, and nations throughout history have risen, flourished, and then fallen. America may not be an exception. Following a disputed election in 2020 and the possibility of an insurrectionist political candidate being once more defeated at the polls, the very real possibility of what is described in 'January 6: A Novel' makes it an unreservedly recommended addition to community and college/university library collections – and essential reading for those with interest in politics, terrorism, freedom, and the future of the United States of America."
