Outstanding Alternative History Thriller Timely For Today!
When a professional in any field is also an excellent writer and the result is an outstanding novel! Sudden Threat by Army Brigadier General A.J. Tata is evidence of that statement and certainly, in my opinion and a must-read for thriller fans! Sudden Threat presents an alternative history story with timely relevance. Prime Minister Mizuzawa had chosen the proper course for his native landJapan could not let a few radical Muslims divert the world's attention away from what really mattered it was a matter of national survival! (p. 18 and 23) Takishi was his choice to help him rule a new Japan; and as a major partner in The Rolling Stones, they were in the best position to take advantage of the 9-11 window of opportunity!
Fortunately, Takishi had friends in major positions in the United States government who did not agree that an attack against Saddam Hussein and his country and other surrounding countries was the right direction for America. The solution: create a sudden threat against America from an entirely different direction-somewhere where a small war could be encouraged which would force a delay for action
Matt Garrett and his brother Zachary are the two main characters. While Zachary served in the service, Matt had been the CIA designated hunter for Osama bin Laden. Matt had already become suspicious, wondering why, when he was close to capturing one or more Al Qaeda members, he would suddenly be transferred somewhere else and ON some pretext that his new assignment was much more important. Fortunately, he began to document his concerns, for when he is captured, his records become a major contribution in the later spunky and informative briefing presented to the president by Meredith Morris, the primary female character and the major person to research, analyze and effectively present what apparently was happening.
The addictive hunger for POWER, found in every country, every nation and nearly always results in tragic events. Tata shows it better than any other author I've read! Nobody can trust these individuals, not lovers, not authorities and not entire populations! Tata takes us directly into the throes of a group of these evil men, who call themselves and The Rolling Stones " as they strive for satisfaction, individual POWER, no matter the cost!
Tata also brings a far more realistic approach to war scenes as well, sharing not only the action and but also the personal feelings of the individuals. One particular man, a good and honorable Japanese man who came to fight along with the Americans is one of the excellent scenarios that illustrates different race issues are really not the cause for wars, without someone, somewhere and thirsting for individual POWER!
As if you needed another reason to buy and read Sudden Threat and consider the fact that BG Tata is donating all of the proceeds to the USO Metro DC Hospital Services Fund for Wounded Warriors! COOL, right?
Needless to say and I think Sudden Threat is a fantastic read. Additionally, I have been fortunate to have already read Rogue Threat, Tata's next book and so I can assure you that you need to add General A.J. Tata to your must-read author list! Hooah!
