It's sounds like an action packed and suspenseful political thriller which I most certainly will read. Gabe sounds like a person who won't give up when he believes his fighting for the right side, and that I admire. Thanks for a great review. Congrats on BOTD.

When Gabriel Bentley is kidnapped and badly beaten, he doesn't know things will only get worse. A. Marc Ross's "The Conscripted Extremist" seems filled with political intrigue. The sample pages were captivating, and I am eager to know how Gabe emerged after being blackmailed by Homeland Security. Thanks for an excellent review.

A book about politics and governance. It also goes to show some aspect of crime while portraying the lengths people go on both sides of political discourse.

Thank you for a powerful review. These social constructs, and how those with agency choose to behave in their presence—or absence— aren’t easy topics to explore. Your thoughtful review did just that, and with respect. I think we’d agree that this book could not be more ironic, as we watch our country implode. Our modern day society has divided itself into polar opposite ideologies, dug its heels in, and is oddly committed to inflexibility.

I appreciate you highlighting the book’s central themes and how they are interwoven. This looks like it’s going to make for a good read.

I could tell by the review of it that the novel is splendid and worthy to read as it depicts politics scenarios that maybe inspired to real-life politics. I feel that I’ll learn a lot in this novel especially as it gives also awareness to us readers and can change your views towards politicians. As an avid fan of suspense plot I definitely wanted to try reading this.

This review is great- thorough, engaging and applicable. Clearly the story is not only suspenseful and engaging, it also has real world implications and very relative in today's society and political arena. I've read the first few chapters and it's definitely fast paced and engaging. Why did Homeland Security target Gabe? Who's hiding what secrets? Will Gabe get him and his friends free from everyone else's agenda? It's like I'm on the edge of my seat and I'm looking forward to finishing the book and finally getting my answers.

This review does a great job of breaking down the themes of The Conscripted Extremist and highlighting its strengths. The idea of Gabe being coerced into spying, only to uncover something much bigger and more dangerous, makes the plot sound gripping. I appreciate how the review emphasizes the book’s deep dive into political ideologies and the ways power can be manipulated for personal or ideological gain. The discussion about characters like Tall Alex and Senator Harry Einner using violent means to push their agendas makes me curious about the moral dilemmas presented in the book. Given the post-COVID setting and its exploration of modern political tensions, this seems like a timely and thought-provoking read. Thanks for the detailed analysis!

A political thriller set in the post-COVID era is the perfect blend of action and intrigue. The author has put together something worth reading, delving into some speculations about American politics. This would play out as a great movie as well, and I can't wait to dive in. Thanks for the detailed review. Congratulations to the author on being selected as BOTD
