And she wondered why I filed this next to Left Behind and Chariots Of The Gods

"Twelve years ago, McCracken had been working with the British Special Air Service when a plane had been commandeered at Heathrow Airport. The bureaucracy had taken hold, and a hundred and fifty passengers had ended up losing their lives. To show his displeasure, Blaine had promptly gone to Parliament Square and machine-gunned the groin area of Churchill's statue"
- Jon Land, explaining how his protagonist got the nickname "McCrackenballs"

I mean seriously, people. I file it next to the Erik von Daaniken and the Hal Lindsay and the Ayn Rand, and yet she picks it up, starts reading it, and is surprised at the quality?

(EDIT: She's just found the Arab terrorist complaining about the "Holy War" against the "American Empire" that's been going on for "two thousand years")

Terrifyingly enough, "McCrackenballs" is still a better name than "Rayford Steele" or "Buck Williams". More up-front about what you can expect out of the book.

Did I tell you about the action book at the library, in which two FBI agents stop terrorists on a plane to LA, where they are headed to investigate a Spanish language school where Iranian agents are conspiring with Al-Quaeda to disguise arab terrorists as Mexicans and smuggle them into the States via Mexico to attack the US using suitcase nukes.

It's like every right-wing scare, minus the gays, atheists, and abortionist.
