Explanation Toward Books The Shell Game

September Eleventh . . . war in Iraq . . . turmoil in the Middle East . . . an impending war with Iran. They have one thing in common: oil. And the world is running out. The Shell Game is a thrilling novel that faces the end of oil and the next big attack on American soil. This fictional tale resonates with chilling facts from real-life informants in the oil industry and the U.S. government, piecing together the terrifying truth about a nation addicted to oil. The tale opens in 2007 as the CIA plans a nuclear attack on an American city, blaming the deaths of millions of Americans on Iran and inciting a retaliatory strike that will place the U.S. in control of Iran's oil resources. Five years later, petroleum geologist Ashley "Ace" Futrell discovers that the world's oil supply is rapidly nearing its end. When his wife - a former national security advisor - is suddenly murdered, Ace finds himself hurtling down a rabbit's hole that leads to the brink of World War III.

Ugh, what a horrible book. This guy can't write to save his life. Someone should tell him he is writing a story, not a dump of information. There's lots of technical talk about oil, and so forth, but it comes in great gobs of boring prose 2-3 pages long. Yuck! The lead character, Ace Futrell (or something like that) testifies to Congress, then heads back to NY, meets his wife who is apparently struck with cancer. Before you can say Ace, she is shot to death in Central Park, and our hero is all

So, my thoughts on this book are a bunch of mixed emotions. The book has a lot of factual people and events, but is written with a paranoid conspiracy theory slant that really detracts the author's important message of oil independence from foriegn nations. I think the fictional events of this book are a possible reality. Just as getting hit by a car is a possible reality. I hope the future brings more oil alternatives to America so we can rebuild our country as a strong, independent one.

I didn't honestly know what to think of this book. It has a running fiction narrative about an oil executive and his wife who works for the CIA. At the beginning of new chapters there are real quotes from varies players in the political world; namely from the second Bush Administration regarding 9/11. There are also quotes from John Lennon and The Bible. The story revolves around America's dependency on oil and how it propels America's direction. The writing isn't terrible and remains in the

THE SHELL GAME is yet another entry in the rapidly expanding library of Steve Alten "message" novels. All the familiar tropes are in place: evil neocons, global destruction caused by scientists, John Lennon, Kabala, cold-hearted American soldiers, etc, etc. This time around, the focus is mostly on the neocons, and Alten postulates every conspiracy theory imaginable in order to demonstrate how Republicans are more or less responsible for every terrible thing that's happened in the world since JFK

Big oil, corrupt politicians and terrorists. What can possibly go wrong? Although a work of fiction, this book has enough truth to scare the bejesus out of me! A disturbing read which caused me to want to dig a bit deeper into some of the real life facts from this novel.

Terrifying, because it too real.

Steve Alten has written a book all of us should read. It is so close to reality that it is freightening. Why aren't half of the Bush administration criminals in jail? Why did the Saudi's get a free pass out of the country after 9/11? Why didn't Obama go after Bush, Cheney and all the other criminals? We the people have absolutely no influence whatsoever in what goes on in Washington. Our elections are fixed, our top Judiciary is an extension of the Republican party, our military is used to
