Rednecks against Terrorists and Nuclear Bombs!

As the book "We Hold These Truths" opens up with painful reminders of 9/11 and all those dark images that most all of us watched unfolding on TV. Author and second amendment rights advocate, Skip Coryell, brings us into the unsafe world that terrorism has given us today. This time the action is right back on American soil again; and it is going to take a group of rednecks from Freidham Ridge to try and save civilization from a nuclear crisis. The basic premise of this thriller novel deals with how the local people try to prevent and stop the terrorists from detonating a suit case bomb. The detailed action and the subplots, along with a load of interesting characters, all unfolds to make for an insightful look at some of our basic America roots and traditions; one of those being the right to bear arms and to defend our communities and families. This book deals with the dangerous and fatal clash of two cultures: Middle East muslin terrorists with nuclear bombs versus Midwest redneck with their hunting rifles. A terrorist sleeper cell is infiltrated by a FBI agent Richard Resnik. He is unable to stop them. He chases them across Michigan. The terrorist have two nuclear suit case bombs and have big dreams and intentions of blowing up Chicago, if they have their way. Resnik needs all the help he can muster even if that means using and depending on a drunken crop duster pilot named Spunky and a group of rednecks who are willing to help. One would hope(and pray) that this was a far out fantasy plot by the author- however, actual plans by real terrorists all around the world, playout this possible scenario in their minds all the time. The reality is much worse. There are many groups out there right now with the desire to blow up as much of western civilization with atomic bombs as possible. If they were able to arm themselves with nuclear weapons they would and could carry those plans out. That is what makes reading Coryell's book so emotionally uncomfortable and frightful. His story may be fiction but the premise of what these terrorists want to do to all of us is not a fantasy but reality! It makes reading the book an eye opener. Coryell delivers an action adventure thriller that will keep you on the edge emotionally and glued to the book pages until you have finally finished reading it. The ending is satisfying and the book is entertaining even if the plot is out right frightening. A good book to buy and read!

Get Ready for a Few Sleepless Nights

You won't be able to put this book down! Skip Coryell has the unique ability to create such an incredible mental picture with words. As you read it you can see the characters he is writing about. This book is written for any and everyone. It is a novel that captures the essence of the state of the world today and at the same time centers on the institution of the American family...the way it was meant to be. I can't encourage anyone enough that they need to get their hands on this book!

An Awesome Thriller

If you enjoy reading novels, you will most certainly love this one! I have to admit that with my short attention span, I'm not prone to reading novels recreationally, however, this one caught my attention so I decided to give it a try and am I glad I did. The first half of the novel delves into some background and interpersonal stage setting that fuels the second half. And what a second half it is! Be forewarned, once the action heats up, you won't be able to put the book down. It's a very enjoyable and thought provoking novel. You won't be disappointed.
