In 'Blending In', Book 1 in the series, readers meet Stickman and Maple, homegrown terrorists hell-bent on insurrection and bringing down the government.
They break the mold of terrorists being social misfits, extremists seeking martyrdom. Stickman and Maple are trained and disciplined. They hold down jobs. They blend in. They could be your next-door neighbors.
Except for being hell-bent on creating political upheaval and upending government. Follow these anti-heroes as they launch terrorist attacks on soft targets – a press conference in DC, an iconic mall in the Heartland. Hundreds die. With civil unrest and democracy under siege, fear grips the nation. Other right-wing extremists join their horrific crusade.
Can they be stopped?
One Amazon reviewer said, "From the story's beginning to the very last few pages, Blending In takes readers into the twisted minds of two vicious homegrown terrorists as they violently destroy everything in their path. Award-wining reporter and editor Norman Brewer, who also worked for the Department of Homeland Security, writes tightly with both authority and bright detail. For fans of thriller novels, Blending In does not disappoint. Characters are well developed throughout the story, with non-stop action that is not only lively, but also frighteningly realistic. It's one of those books that can be easily imagined as someday becoming a movie."
Another stated, "Author Norman Brewer has taken an almost documentary-style approach to this novel, and it works on any number of levels. It's more than just another good read. It grabs you at the opening page, it holds your interest from chapter to chapter, and it's (sadly) driven by the events of the world we live in, which makes it relevant. You can see the journalist at work here, weaving the story together through multiple directions and various separate strands. All in all, he's come up with a punchy winner."
Book 2 in the series is 'Killer Politics - A Satirical Tale of Homegrown Terrorism'. In this book a Trump-like president inspires a white supremacist to launch attacks on innocents in a ruthless bid to incite civil war - and defend the "American way of life."
Hoss, the supremacist, teams up with a "Most Wanted" terrorist to attack a rock concert, contaminate the food supply, destroy a reservoir and flood homeowners living downstream. People die. Fear mounts. A rogue FBI agent is in hot pursuit.
Razor-edged satire, aimed at a so-called President Tower, is "keen and stinging," one reviewer said.
Book 3 in the series is 'January 6: A Novel.' In this political thriller, democracy comes under siege when the President's rally morphs into a mob and storms the Capitol.
Right-wing extremists take the House Speaker hostage, force a horrific standoff and unleash terrorism nationwide. Assassinations, bombings in malls and terrorist attacks against other soft targets inflame civil unrest.
The President weighs declaring martial law to restore order – and justify refusing to leave office.
Will we again face insurrection?
General Michael Hayden, retired four-star Air Force general and former director of the CIA and National Security Agency said, "January 6: A Novel underscores my worries that the assault on the Capitol could happen again, defiling our freedoms and threatening our democracy."
In their review, Midwest Book Review stated, "Although a work of fiction, 'January 6: A Novel' provides genuine and vivid insider glimpses of what might come next in 2024 in real life. All kingdoms, empires, and nations throughout history have risen, flourished, and then fallen. America may not be an exception. Following a disputed election in 2020 and the possibility of an insurrectionist political candidate being once more defeated at the polls, the very real possibility of what is described in 'January 6: A Novel' makes it an unreservedly recommended addition to community and college/university library collections – and essential reading for those with interest in politics, terrorism, freedom, and the future of the United States of America."
Readers Favorite, in their review stated, "This domestic terrorism novel, January 6: A Novel by Norman Brewer, easily delivers one of the year's standout novels, brilliantly creating an alternative history with a chillingly plausible twist. Brewer's writing is both polished and insightful, with great character development that is all the more impressive given the number of players presented. As a British reader who is ultra critical of political novels that scream about exceptionalism, Brewer was able to get me properly unsettled in a way that I haven't experienced since reading The Plot Against America by Philip Roth, or even the remarkable Sinclair Lewis's It Can't Happen Here. Brewer's adept portrayal of "what could have been" forces readers to confront a nightmarish vision of how close the free world came to its downfall, proving the work to be both an entertaining and thought-provoking read. Very highly recommended."
