I received "The Alarmists" by Don Hoesel for free from http://www.bethanyhouse.com/. America loves a good conspiracy theory. We also love to jump on the band wagon. This book is a meeting of the two. Brent, a sociology professor, is brought in on a case consulting for the pentagon. The case: the end of the world. December 21 is the last day, or so the legend goes and that being said all hell is breaking loose. Van Camp is a man who is so wealthy he puts Trump and Gates together to shame and his goal in life is to become richer than Solomon (you know, the bible Solomon). Throw in some Y2K style panic and some natural and not so natural disasters and you've got a Solomon in the making. If he plays the stock market right that is.
This is a guy book. By this I mean, you cannot make dinner, yell at kids, watch TV, and read this book all at once. It is a read that takes some concentration. It took awhile to read it too because I kept having to go back and re-read. It is written in a Dan Brown style, but not so much information that you don't care about half of it. It is informative, witty, and might make you a little paranoid. What can you believe anyway? How far can you go with faith? What will the end of the world be like?
