Some Early Reviews of Ameristan:

¨"Ameristan is something everyone should read. It is so plausible, it is frightening." — Laura Mansfield , Strategic Arabic Translations
(http://lauramansfield.com)

¨"Quite a powerful piece of work." — Nissan Ratzlav-Katz, Opinion Editor, IsraelNationalNews.com (http://israelnationalnews.com)

¨"Ameristan... gets people to understand the dangers we face through a back door method."

— Judson Cox, Internet and Newspaper Columnist/Editor (http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/cox)

¨"I thoroughly enjoyed the well-written and not so fanciful account of a WW III scenario of Islamic takeover of America in the novel Ameristan. I could not put it down and even had a quite vivid dream about a scene you reference in the novel. I think it would definitely work as a feature film, and I am working on [reading] the screenplay right now."

— Rabbi Aaron Parry, Los Angeles

¨"We should kill you for writing this." — Anonymous message to screenwriter Charles Welty. (Mr. Welty responds: "Stand in line. After all the death threats we have received, there are 14,000+ ahead of you.")

Another terrific book based on a similar premise is Prayers for the Assassin by Robert Ferrigno. Highly recommended.

naah ... that's like comparing Platoon & Hamburger Hill because they had a military focus.
