Energy Independence Day by Christian F. Burton

What happens when foreign religions come and corrupt your own religion and country? How do you react to such changes? How well can you adapt to westernization? Is it the fault of all Christians when some rogue Americans disrupt your way of life, or is it the fault of all Jews when some Israeli military bulldoze you out of the place you’ve called home for all your life?

Ratib is a university professor. His pay is below average and in his search for a better wage, so when he is introduced to a side job which brings in more money than he could imagine, how could he say no? He saw this as an opportunity to redeem himself to Allah for embracing the Western culture. He helped recruit youngsters who had finished school and whom he knew would embrace his theories altogether and accomplish them. He works for a higher authority but his contributions and plans are being put to practice. By bombing several small places both in the US and Saudi Arabia, they hope to severe the economy of the Americans by a raise in the oil price. Will all the recruits agree to this plan? Will they manage to bring down the Western culture in Saudi Arabia? Is what they are doing the best action to protect what they believe in? How will it all go down? Read Energy Independence Day by Christian F. Burton to answer all this questions.

I loved how the author vividly described each situation and person in the book. It gave me a clear picture of what he was saying or talking about. It was easier for me to understand the book better while having a mental picture of how everything’s going on. I also loved how the author brought out different aspects of life in Saudi Arabia and its surrounding. The oppression of women, the unending wars, just to mention a few of the aspects brought to light through the book.

I rate this book 4 out 4 stars. This book is well written and meticulously published. The language used by the author is quite simple making it easy to read and comprehend. There were just a few of minor erotic scenes.

I recommend this book. It is appropriate for people above the age of 16 years. This book would also be appropriate for people who won’t feel offended by the brutality and injustice to women that is brought up in several passages in the book. If you prefer lovely romance and never ending happiness, this is not the book for you. I really enjoyed reading this book and hope that my review will help someone else make a decision on reading it.
