Review by Jack R. Williams of Storm Rising by Gary Naiman

It's 2016 and America's military is frustrated by an unending Middle East war that appears hopeless. With boots on the ground in Iran, Afghanistan, and Syria, our government has turned a deaf ear to its Pentagon's cry for a decisive ending to the conflict. Instead, our desperate President's only concern is to squelch any bad news coming out of the Mideast in this critical election year.

The flawed hero of this novel, Perry Ambrose, is an embedded reporter in Iran who witnesses a mutinous firefight between a corporal and his sergeant, and has the wits to grab his camera and record the carnage. Under pressure from the administration, WNN rejects Ambrose's plea to telecast the video to the nation. They confiscate his camera, but not before Ambrose transmits a secret copy to his home computer in Atlanta, setting the stage for the explosive footage to play an unexpected role in the upcoming presidential campaign.

With the U.S. in turmoil from war and recession, its impotent President is caught up in a political struggle with the opposing party's equally-incompetent candidate. Their campaigns are disrupted when the author introduces Claire Minton, a charismatic third party candidate supported by a cabal of rich and powerful men. The new Heartlander party's strategy is to capture 15-20% of the vote, creating a brokered election, but this changes dramatically when Minton cuts a secret deal with Ambrose for his infamous video, launching her campaign toward the presidency. It's at this time Ambrose learns the truth behind the Heartlander party, and all hell breaks loose in a plot rivaling The Manchurian Candidate.

The author deftly advances the story and its believable characters into a shocking, thought-provoking climax. I won't reveal more as this tense novel is replete with unexpected revelations. Through it all, the author never loses his firm grasp on the story and its characters. This is a gripping story. It captures you from the first page to its explosive ending

I recommend this book from a masterful story-teller.

Very cool and interesting

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2010

The book is a garden variety conspiracy novel, probably more Fletcher Kniebel than the most recent undertakings of a similiar subject. The story starts a little weak with the militia connection, and stock characters as to the thugs that corral the reporter, making that part a bit predictable; and the reporters plight could be a little more insightful as to his motivations. The lead character third party candidate is well drawn and the president and the other candiates are very good also and quite believeable. The war in Iran makes you think in the beginning of the book that it is an allegory on the Iraq war, but believe me that part faeds away, and the Iran becomes front and center and quite believeable. The last Quarter of the book is fantastic in the best tradition of the best military thrillers. It morphs into a page turner for sure, with a twist at the end that will blow you away. After I finished Storm Rising I immediately bought the Response by the author. With some adjustments, Gary Naiman can and i believe will be one of the best most interesting writers in the USA. Smart move publishing on wireless to get your product out there.
Gary, the one thing I found a bit off putting was the fishing scene. Have you ever ate a carp? Good work looking forward to finishing my next read by this author.

Excellent! Make it mandatory high school reading and turn into movie/miniserie.

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2013

Well written and believable thriller novel - I hope it makes it's way to a miniserie or movie. It just keeps you turning page after page, wanting more. I can't help but wonder how prophetic this book will turn out to be. Although a work of fiction, Storm Rising, develops a shockingly plausible story, that in fact, may already be unraveling. As the book hints at, apathy and ignorance pose clear and present dangers to freedom and democracy and create the perfect setting for unchecked greed, ambition and power to do as they please - even if it means sowing destruction and death on their own. For the sake of future generations, Storm Rising ought to be mandatory high school reading. I have just ordered and started reading Gary Naiman's sequel: Heartland. I look forward to reading the author's other works.

As an aside, and somewhat related matter, the Commerce Department has been forced to turn over some limited records of secret meetings held in 2001 between Dick Cheney and executives from global oil giants e.g Exxon. These records seem to suggest that the secret group decided months before September 11th that U.S. energy policy would center on taking control of Iraq's oil. The legal fight continues (conservative, environmental and rights groups, ironically, on one side) and the government on the other, to make details of these secret meetings public. Given how global supply chains work I am not sure that anyone can guarantee with certainty that weapons used against U.S. forces do not contain, at least, components made by U.S. owned or partially owned corporations.

No page skipping in this one

This is a well written book with a very interesting plot. Enough surprises in it to keep my interest and without many editing distractions. I will read the sequel. First book in a while that I did not have to skip forward on pages to bypass long, boring events.

A reminder of some great Cold War novels of the 1960s updated to today's world and challenges

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this book but was very pleasantly surprised when it exceeded even my highest expectations. It actually reminded me of the Cold War-era books I enjoyed so much back in the 1960s such as Fair-Safe and Seven Days in May. Like those books, the author didn't allow his own opinions, viewpoints and values to totally drive the plot development or make caricatures of those who may be perceived as villains or simply flawed individuals. (Confession: While I think the reader is expected to be shocked and appalled by the ending, it was exactly what I was thinking I would do in that situation if I had been in charge!) I am looking forward to reading the sequel, which is probably the highest tribute you can give to any novel.

Don't waste your money, it's dreadful.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2014

Absolute Rubbish. The author tries to right about an English character, but the closest he appears to have got to London is watching Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins". One of the worst books I have ever read, only surpassed in unbelievability by "The Da Vinci Code"
