An American Conspiracy by Alan C. Moore is a political crime thriller. Yasin’s morning prayers did not prepare him to face his suicide mission at Saudi Arabia’s Kingdom Centre Mall. Yasin decides not to complete the mission, but the choice is taken away from him when the bomb is set off from a remote location. Four oil derricks in the Gulf of Mexico belonging to China, Russia, and the United States are bombed, creating a hole in the ocean floor spouting oil. If that is not enough, the OPEC headquarters in Vienna, Austria, is bombed, and all the executives are beheaded. Shuhada’ Alnnabi claims responsibility for the attacks; however, officials in the United States government are not convinced because usually, before a terrorist attack, all terrorist electronic communications stop, which did not happen in these cases. Amidst all the terrorist attacks, Senator Boyd Radford commits suicide and leaves an unsent email that Congresswoman Madison Gladstone must be protected at all costs and left alone. What does Senator Radford mean in the email? Is there a connection between the bombings and the email? Is Congresswoman Madison Gladstone in danger?

This 268-page book has 49 short chapters that flow smoothly between the terrorists, bombings, and political activities in Washington DC. Alan C. Moore skillfully uses bold, italics, and regular text to offset video feeds, emails, and other communication. I found Planet Rescue’s involvement with the political factions interesting. I appreciated that President Wilson stressed that people should not judge all Muslims for the actions of a few to prevent stereotyping these individuals. Deceit, fear, and love are only a few of the emotions I sensed while reading about the fully developed characters. The political intrigue, suspense, and fast-moving plot kept me turning the pages to the unexpected end.

This fantastic book has no negative aspects. It is an enjoyable read with only a few minor errors that a professional editor could have easily missed. Therefore, I can safely say that this book has been professionally edited.

There is no reason for me not to give this delightful book 4 out of 4 stars. The story is realistic in showing how easy it would be for an organization to take over a country due to the carelessness of individuals in getting rid of incriminating information.

Mature readers who enjoy political thrillers that involve terrorists are the ones I would recommend this book to. The non-borderline content makes this book unsuitable for readers under the age of 16. If gory content disturbs you, you may want to avoid this book.

Wow! I'm sure this book will have some gruesome scenes. I'll pass on this.

[Ramon Scott]

This book has the grimiest plot ever. It sounds crazy. I have to read it! I'm looking forward to plenty murder as I am a fiend for those. I appreciate your review. It was amazing. I'm definitely reading this book.

[Ruthwriter]

This book must be very interesting judging from the reviewer's conclusion. I think I will give it a trial

[Jatto Onimisi]

Terrorism is a global scourge, and I am convinced this book proves it. I am fascinated by the thrilling plot, but also left confused on why Senator Radford committed suicide. This is a great review.

[NetMassimo]

This seems like an engaging thriller based on the current terrorism problems and a political element that form a suspenseful plot. Thank you for your great review!

[Eze Michael]

I always love reading political thrillers, and this involves suicide missions. The author did a good job in the characterization of this book. Thanks for your honest review.

[AntonelaMaria]

Political thrillers are not a genre I enjoy reading. I am not drawn to bombing storylines either. Great job with the review.

[Amy Luman]

I admire that Yasmin tries to stop the carnage.

[Timothy Rucinski]

I enjoy political thrillers, although I must say I'm a little tired of stories involving terrorism. But this sounds like a good book worth an investment of time. I may have to check it out.

[Hubre De Klerk]

This book is definitely going on my to-read list. I enjoy terrorist thrillers as it gives us an idea of what could really be happening out there. I love the intrigue and suspense in this book and the race to find out who the actual terrorists are, why they did what they did and how to stop it from happening again. Well done on an excellent review, you wrote it with passion. Well done on #BOTD!

[Chimdik Chimezi]

An American Conspiracy by Alan C. Moore is a book full of suspense book about terrorism and the race to uncover the terrorists. I will read to know why Senator Boyd Radford left the unsent mail before his death which protects Madison Gladstone.

[Manang Muyang]

I used to gobble up thrillers, regardless of gore. I have mellowed, though, and don't appreciate much boodshed any longer. It goes with age, I guess. But let me sample the book to see if I can take the violence.

I am curious to discover what the senator and the congresswoman know about the attacks.

[Edigbo B Emmanuel]

Terrorism in my opinion is the world's number one nemesis. You cannot tell what form it will take. I am so much a lover of political thrillers. Making a movie out of books like this brings us into close contact with the reality of today's world. Great book and an equally great review. Congratulations on BOTD.
