Fresh Fiction Review

THE HORNBROOK PROPHECY
Robert V. Wickes

Reviewed by Morgan Chilson
Posted July 15, 2010

Thriller Political

Sen. Henley Hornbrook fights the good fight in Washington, finally throwing up his hands in disgust as a tax reform bill passes that he thinks will jeopardize the economic security of the country. When he's proven right and the nation teeters into bankruptcy, Hornbrook and his team retreat to his home state of Washington, preparing with others in their rural communities to defend their homes. The country disintegrates and an unscrupulous president fights for control, leaving Hornbrook frustrated with the devastation of America.

This political thriller was an interesting read. No matter what your politics, you'll find fascination and fear in this "could be" book. In these days of economic challenges, it wouldn't be totally surprising to find THE HORNBROOK PROPHECY sitting on a non-fiction shelf. I highly recommend this book in the hopes of creating some stimulating thoughts and concerns about the choices our government is making.

SUMMARY

What would happen if the United States government suddenly went bankrupt? An ancient beheading and a 200-year-old prediction foretell the inevitable consequences of blind ambition and the abuse of power in a thought-provoking, passionate challenge to conventional political wisdom. Maverick Senator Henley Hornbrook fights against unscrupulous President Winston Dillard while a nationwide tax revolt plunges the country into chaos before Hornbrook unveils a stunning plan that will forever change the nation and preserve its destiny. Is it fiction, or prediction? In a classic confrontation between government oppression and rugged individualism, The Hornbrook Prophecy will spark debate from the classroom to the bar room about a new, principled hero who fights for more than the girl and the gold.
