Review of SINS OF THE ASSASSIN (novel)

A bit more than two years ago, I reviewed Robert Ferrigno's Prayers for the Assassin--a disturbing but powerful novel set in a future where the combination of terrorism, elites embracing Islam, and the disappearance of Christianity as a significant influence on much of the United States, leads to the division of America into the Islamic States of America and the Bible Belt--an impoverished Christian nation occupying roughly the South.

At the time I wrote that review in January of 2006, I expressed my belief that two of Ferrigno's assumptions about what would be required for this nightmarish future were a little implausible. I still would like to think that's the case--but watching what has happened to America in that short period of time makes me a bit less confident that something a little like this couldn't happen.

"4. The increasingly willingness of news organizations to bend to the will of Islamic extremists,"

I'm getting increasingly willingness to believe that this post is very self-serving and deserves to be treated as promotion.

Any comments?

“4. The increasingly willingness of news organizations to bend to the will of Islamic extremists,”

That statement makes perfect sense since it happens all the time.

It’s rotten grammar.
