Very factual fiction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Readers either liked or disliked this book, based I suppose on their political orientation (i.e., the last review). I thought it was very good in its portrayal of the dangers of biological weapons and the government's penchant for secret programs. Perhaps the writing is not as "literary" as some reviewers would have liked, but it is good suspense nonetheless. The author lays out a plot of what seems to based loosely on fact, and he then goes on to show us in the afterward and appendix that he had access to a lot of government documents. I recommend it.
Good suspense thriller

I enjoyed the book because it had a good bit of factual information that made you realize how very little we know about our government's secret programs. Scary stuff.
Entertaining and frightening all the same
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I found this entertaining novel a bit frightening after peeking at the back pages and discovering that much of the information is based on fact. The author, a scientist with access to many government documents and much declassified information, weaves real life intrigue into his plot. What surprised me all the more, though, was that Goliszek did such an accurate job of portraying the president (I knew it was Clinton), even before all the scandals broke. All in all, World Order is much more readable and enjoyable than some recent Clancy novels and gives the reader an real sense of just how much secrecy there is still out there. A good read for anyone interested in government agendas and real-life facts disguised as fiction.
Featured in this month's Special Medical Report
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This month's special medical report on Health News Network features excerpts from World Order. The information on biological agents is harrowing and, according to Len Horowitz, author of Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola, World Order is "chilling recommended reading."
As a fan of suspense thrillers, I found this one outstanding
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Like the author's last book, I didn't know where fiction ended and fact began. He includes information about biological and psychochemical weapons that made me think it's really happening and we just don't know it yet. Really scary stuff and great reading.
