JERICHO BLUES
Written By Andrew Scorah
A 5***** REVIEW
Terrorist threats from foreign aliens that could
upset the whole of the United States. And then Martial Law is to be established
to protect the country for an indefinite duration ensuring that all of its
citizens and there properties be protected, any undesirable will be brought
into custody for questioning, all the citizens are being asked not to be afraid
of being rounded up and to comply with the issuing Executive Order 903813,
titled Emergency Defense Procedures and Allocation of Interim Authority Martial
Law. This to me sounds and feels heavy but not heavy handed who in their right
mind and position would be expecting their president, prime minister to be doing
everything humanly possible to protect them?
The number one priority
of this government is to safeguard the interests of the country, and its
citizens, and any threat from foreign or domestic terrorism will be dealt with
to the full force of our powers.
I can only say at this stage that Andrew Scorah has
me hooked right from the beginning of the first chapter and I have not stopped
reading and re-reading just in case that I have missed an action somewhere, it
is fast paced, you’ll want to go back to make sure that what you have read is
REAL, IT IS HAPPENING just like a movie. You’ll not want to leave your seat or
make that cup of coffee or tea.
It’s raw, rough, tough, but for whatever reason the
government was rounding up citizens from across small townships, they are all
left stunned, shocked, battered and bruised and their homes lost for always.
But I will let you read Jericho Blues to find out why. And who and what had
assassinated the president of the USA.
“We need to find out what is happening,” I said as I turned on the
radio. I dialled through the frequencies, but all I got was static, or a tone
similar to what you get when you dial a disconnected number.
So far it seems that the country is in disarray, more like martial law enforcement
where no one or anything is exempt from the break-down of Statute Law that is
set by the House of Senators, this is Military Law at its worst or best? Only
you the reader can decide.
Six black clad bodies, armed with Heckler and Koch machine pistols. They
moved, silent, bent legged up the road. As if by some unspoken signal, four
split from the group. Two were going to the left of the house, the others to
the right. Once again we had a professional hit team coming for us. The
remaining four moved around the van. I had to time this right. I edged over so
I could see them better. They were mugs, not one paid any attention to the Van.
In a combat situation, never assume, assume makes an ass out of you and me; I
had the phrase drilled into me so many times; it became a mantra to put me to
sleep at night.
One of the assassins pulled a gas grenade from his utility belt and
pulled the pin. Now the time was right. I put a round in his ankle, half
blowing off his booted foot. He collapsed, dropping the grenade.
When I read this passage from Jericho Blues I was on
the brink of taking a break but Andrew kept me right where I am sat now! I
wanted to know what the heck was going on. You get drawn into intrigue and
mystery as to why Martial Law has been imposed on a Nation yet here it seems
that even Martial Law has broken down. There are renegade factions within the
Military with their own laws and lawlessness on the innocent citizens and military
personnel, and it is getting REAL personal. The next thing you know there is an
announcement from the White House and the President Lecompte
People of the United States
of America, it is with great sorrow I stand before you today, making this, my first
address to you. I have only just learned an evil has befallen the city of San
Francisco. Despite all our efforts to safeguard you the people, terrorists have
detonated several dirty bombs. The death toll is massive, and for all purposes,
the city has been wiped off the map. The resulting explosions triggered a
failing of the San Andreas Fault; earthquakes have been widespread and
continuing, hampering the efforts of emergency responders.
Reports are also coming in of dirty bomb explosions in several other
cities around the globe. Notably Manchester, England, Paris France, Sydney,
Australia and Moscow. So far, no one has claimed responsibility, but all
intelligence is focused on finding these monsters.
This is a colossal
misfortune to befall our country, and the world, ever. However, be forewarned;
our anger at these atrocities is biblical. The perpetrators and those who give
them their orders will be hunted down like dogs. We are now on a war footing,
and as such hard decisions will have to be made, law-abiding citizens will have
nothing to fear. Those who pose a threat to our way of life I give you this
message, run, because we are coming for you. There is no place for you to hide,
we will find you, and have our justice.
Whatever you do when you get to this part of the
book DO NOT go and make a meal (call for a takeaway instead) you will not want
to leave this part at all. This is where all the action starts. How on earth
did this get to the stage of it affecting the World as a whole? What went
wrong? Who went wrong? How on earth did the fractions cause so much
devastation, destruction wiping out San Francisco’s City and causing the bomb
to go off on the infamous San Andreas Fault? Earthquakes, Andrew draws you in
and at times you can only imagine what and how such things could and can
happen. Do not leave your seat or go to sleep yet! It’s not over yet!
Dirty bombs, dirty tricks it’s all here within the
covers of Jericho Blues
Sleep depuration, hunger, battling against the
wounds of battle
“We are known as the Council of Three Hundred, and
if all goes well you are going to be President of the United States after the
next elections.”
“What would you say if I told you, life is an
illusion Michael?”
Is
life an illusion? Are we all living a life of dreams, fantasies? Is life
truthful? Are we being deceived by those that we trust the most? Who is trying
to impress upon us the truth or lies, cheating and deceitfulness? Is the
Council of Three Hundred like the corrupted or are just painting pretty picture
of a better world? Read on Andrew had me hooked
Who is the Council of Three Hundred? What do they
do? What do they want of Michael? Besides being the next President of the
United States of America, how does this organisation affect the world as a
whole? Will and do they influence the political face of the world? Would it be
one party that rules dismissing democratic polling? Fixed voting? Can this
create further political unrest, citizens demonstrating against the one party
system without choice and losing their Human Rights?
Read on further, further, deeper and deeper the
plots thicken and you wonder when and where it will all end
Can the Leaders of the Free World come together as
one and face all the issues that are dominant and dominating and not plunge us
into a Third World State? Only time will and can tell of the outcome with their
extension, exhausted talks.
Andrew’s Jericho Blues is an awesome read
I am going to leave the rest up to you to read at your
leisure and pleasure
Andrew this novel has my 5*****’s not only for
content, but also for keeping me glued and having read it twice and I am
positive that I am coming back for more in the very near future. And I am also
looking forward to your follow up to Jericho Blues too.
