Above Empyrean: A Novel of the Final Days of the War on Islamic Terrorism
America is under attack. Islamist revolutionary terrorists have taken over and are hell bent on obliterating the country's way of life, and-worst of all-the President is nowhere to be found. Eli Jared is the President's most trusted advisor, but there's little he can do when he's holed up in a secret government command center without any weapons or communication with the outside world. Still, Jared must find a way to wrest the fate of the nation away from the terrorists before it's too late.

A shout against the ever increasing political stupidity in our land
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This isn't so much a novel or thriller or war book but instead it's a warning about how unserious we are as a country. It's the author's attempt to grab us up out of our chair by our shirt , slap us in the face, and say "GET OUT OF YOUR DAZE.... YOUR COUNTRY IS AT RISK" A feeling that grows stronger inside me with each day. Don't read this book for a plot, or its dialog, or its settings because this book in not concerned with that... read this book if you feel like you're in the ever shrinking population of people who realize that our nation is in extreme jeopardy..and it seems no one in Washington cares or is capabile of defending us. The War against Jihadism began in Afghanistan but Americans should have CONSTANTLY been told.. week after week. that it doesn't end there. It doesn't end in Iraq.. It doesn't end in Iran...It won't end in Syria... the war is everywhere. Everywhere that there exists those who wish to impose Sharia Law , there is the war. Who will win? Which side is willing to do what it takes to ensure its values endure? Sadly, not us.
A great read!

One the best and most insightful books I have read in a long time. For anyone who doesn't believe our national security is important, you must read this book. This book really makes me appreciate the country we live in and the freedoms we enjoy. Bruce Herschenson shines with real life look at what our lives could be become if America veers off course in the War on Terror. This book will make you think long and hard about what is important to you, and how you would react if that was suddenly taken away. I highly recommend this book.
Herschensohn is a brilliant writer!

Above Empyrean is a finely crafted novel that clearly states the obvious outcome if we allow "political correctness" to dictate our War on Islamic Terrorist, and the policies of the U.S. This book picks up on the story of America on the day the war is lost, and systematically, through literary excellence and an uncanny awareness of how the government would work even after it is taken over by Islamic Radicals in its ability to survive and fight back. This could be a great political thriller on the big screen, but until that happens, the book will serve as the best insight into our "possible" future. This book truly shows the American Spirit and pursuit of Liberty, even when faced with the unthinkable. GREAT BOOK!
A MUST READ FOR ALL THOSE WHO WISH TO PRESERVE AMERICA
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
BRUCE HERSCHENSOHN IS AN AMERICAN TREASURE WHOSE LIFE HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO THE PURSUIT AND PRESERVATION OF LIBERTY. ABOVE EMPYREAN, WRITTEN IN BRUCE'S EASY-TO-READ STYLE IS HIS EFFORT TO PROVIDE A WAKE UP CALL FOR AMERICA. IN THAT SENSE, BRUCE IS VERY MUCH A 21st CENTURY PAUL REVERE, AND ABOVE EMPYREAN IS BRUCE'S EFFORT TO SOUND THE ALARM - "THE ISLAMISTS ARE COMING" - WORSE YET, THEY ARE HERE!. IT IS A MUST READ FOR ALL, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO THINK THAT THE CURRENT PERIL IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. BY FICTIONALIZING THE PERIL, BRUCE HAS MADE IT EASIER FOR THE POLITICALLY UNINVOLVED TO PERCEIVE THE DANGER IN A "THRILLER" CONTEXT, i.e. BY PUTTING OUR CURRENT DILEMNA IN THE FORM OF A NOVEL, BRUCE HAS ONLY MORE FORCEFULLY MADE THE POINT. IT IS AN ENERTAINING READ, BUT, MORE TO THE POINT, AS NOTED, IT IS A MUST READ!!! KEN ELIASBERG
Finally......Someone gets it!

Above Empyrean, by Bruce Herschensohn, finally tells the story of what will happen if the U.S. looses the war against Islamic Radicals. This book is terrific, and details the heroic story of patriotic Americans trying to retake the country they love from the grips of radical fanatics that have succeeded in destroying America from within. This is a "must read" for anyone who intends to vote in the upcoming presidential election. Herschensohn's obvious knowledge of how the American government works, and what contingencies exist for its survival is the basis for this great thriller. This is a great read, and I recommend it to anyone who cares about America.
