This book was recommended to me by a Canadian retired military officer, and the book lived up to everything he said about it - that this novel is a tour de force, a powerhouse work of fiction from a writer with a distinctive and compelling voice. -- Max Folsom, Author A dystopian prequel not post-apocalyptic but a warning. This amazing book is frankly terrifying in its plausibility. We can see things happening now that will lead to this. Failure to pay attention will doom us. -- Stuart A. Halsan A Chilling, Very Plausible Novel. A Must Read. A very timely read, and a story line that is chilling in its plausibility. Super first novel by an author whose work here deserves a broad audience. -- Mark Holmes, Author Can the world endure an autocrat in the White House? . . . parallels the style of Tom Clancy's best sellers with all their precision, intensity, and scope. Like Clancy, Schoorens uses war game theory to explore the rabbit holes and dark corners into which narcissistic autocrats might drag the world. -- Donald Mulcare, Ph.D. Excellent and Engaging Read. I am a Canadian living in New Brunswick. I appreciate the author's attention to details about Canadian war history and the geography of my province. The story is fictionalbut to some of us too close to non-fiction than we would like. -- E. Ann McIntyre, Author, Canada Engrossing and gripping novel. An entertaining, if chilling, journey into a near future when the USA is in the grip of an authoritarian administration. Told from the standpoint of a struggle between patriotic forces determined to defend the constitution and a hardline regime prepared to go to any lengths to subjugate opposition, Refuge paints a disturbing picture of where American politics might be heading if we close our eyes to the dangers. A readable and enjoyable novel with an important message. -- Em Thompson, Author, United Kingdom . . . a shocking piece of literature . . . To summarize my thoughts on the remarkable novel that is Refuge; I would say if you are a reader who is tired of reading the same old books that are lackluster and forgettable then take a chance with this one because I promise you now that you will not be disappointed! Refuge gets five stars from me! -- Aimee Ann, Red Headed Book Lover
