\"\"<\/a>I found this book quite frightening, not because it was particularly suspenseful, but because the political scenario described so very well could come true.<\/p>\n

Toby is asked to do a remote viewing to see if she can discover where some of the artifacts stolen during the looting at the start of the Iraq war were taken. Unfortunately, not only is she discovering where these artifacts may be, she accidentally stumbles upon an owner with a great deal of power–and a nasty plot.<\/p>\n

There is a new president, a reformer, but the old guard, the conservatives, and most especially the religious right wingers can’t stand him, and have all but declared him Satan incarnate.<\/p>\n

Because these reactions are so close to what current conservatives are having, and because so much of this story is based upon history and fact and existing groups (there’s a quick resource guide in the back), I find it quite frightening. Especially the Dominionist Movement.<\/p>\n

If you enjoyed the first two books in this series, I recommend this book. If you didn’t read the first two books, you might want to become familiar with remote viewing before starting this book, as well as the history of the US Remote Viewing program.<\/p>\n

Then you can read this and spend your time being freaked out by the story.
