Kurt Schlichter's The Attack is the real thing

www.americanthinker.com

Kurt Schlichter's 2024 novel, "The Attack," is an eye-watering what-if scenario of the coming attack on America. The new one will be a 3-day summer attack that will cripple America. The Attack will be a coordinated attack on our government, our infrastructure, and our cyber-capabilities. Why is this novel more worthy than others of our POTUS' attention? Because I believe Schlichter knows things.

No lightweight he; his bio, and hence his credentials, are impressive.

I have read his novels and always got the feeling he isn't so much creating a story as revealing it. He knows things.

"The Attack" is about a highly-coordinated, massive, comprehensive Muslim attack on everything America uses to survive and thrive. Due to the open borders of America and other nations, really, really bad things happened which we are only now seeing.

The novel takes the form of interviews with victims and jihadists, each chapter a recitation of how it was done, and the effects. It shows how the Secret Service and the Intelligence community missed it all. The attack was too fragmented, too clever, to be detected by intel "chatter" because each cell was kept in ignorance of the other cells until the "go" was sounded.

Schlichter's previous “People’s Republic/Kelly Turnbull” series books had humorous veins running through them about what a blue-red split would look like. Pronouns and wokery were mercilessly attacked with great effectiveness and humor. But "The Attack" is another story, and it's not funny. It's horrifying. Is it plausible? It seems so.

"The Attack" is your worst nightmare, putting 9/11 to shame. Schlichter has finally put it together in what is not just a story but a deadly serious warning to America on how it will happen – not just in one location, but around the country all at once. I got the feeling that Schlichter knows things.

When people know things, you can tell. I beg POTUS and his team, and every American, to read this book.
