"It's rare that a book tells a great story about things that matter ... Great descriptions, characters who surprise and delight, and a violent and powerful ending ... America Rising is an action-packed story about what could happen if in real life, Americans stood up and said no."
- Greg Garrett, winner, William Faulkner Prize for Fiction; nominee, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award"A political thriller for our times ... shocking, thrilling and highly entertaining ... A blast of a story for those of us who “are mad as hell and just can't take it anymore.” Read it. It's the future."
- Sandra M. Stricker"Plot, execution, riveting-factor and price-performance ratio earn Tom Paine's “America Rising” four stars ... It's excellent entertainment for a couple of warm summer evenings, peppered with a pinch of unpleasant truths ..."
- Frank Powers“It's a story about love, murder, kindness, corruption, triumph, betrayal and finally HOPE. Hang on to your seats, you're going for a wild ride.”
- Catathome“[Tom Paine] certainly has great insight into the mood of the country and used it well to create a lively and credible read. There are characters with whom I could fully empathize and others craftily presented to make the reader bristle. Read this novel.”
- Angie“It spoke to the 99% and outed the greed of corporate business and government. If only the movement could reach such proportions and make a real change.”
-Teresa M. Sanders“This novel has elements of the dark caper and the vengeance fantasy. Exploding action and wince-inducing violence. An array of good and bad characters believably motivated and colorfully drawn down to details that expose impulses tender or vicious. Friendship and love, loyalty and honor—and their opposites. Vivid language, story lines weaving in and out, variable pacing, suspense and surprises—all handled confidently. Ruthless scheming, thrilling technological masterminding, venality and its ugly consequences. Smart dialog, black humor.”

Dear Sir,
Thank you, thank you and thank you once again.
Excellent book. Your courage and conviction will long live on because of this work, which in my opinion will become a masterpiece some day.
Half way thru your book, I was afraid I was reading a modern-day, Americanized edition of ‘Brave New World’ which would have a similar, tragic end of events. I’m certainly glad that wasn’t the case.
I would give up my left nut (not sure why everyone insists on keeping the right one), to see Cheney waterboarded into confessing the lies, murder, greed, and deceit he attempts to mask with excuses of patriotism.
Your entire book resonated with me. From John Doe to the former Mossad agent just waiting to buy his own piece of paradise in Costa Rica. You certainly have a handle on all that controls this wayward nation.
If you ever find yourself in National City, CA, hit me up. Would love to sit and chat with you awhile.

PS – I’m most certain your blood boiled too when it was sparsely revealed in the press that the US Congress gave 31 standing ovations to Benjamin Netenyahue barely a year ago. Do they not know, or care, what that traitorous monster has done to our country?
Thanks much for the kind comments and invite, Tim. There is indeed much to discuss, unfortunately so much of it depressing. Which is why I wanted to see the good guys win one, even it only in fiction. I too wouldn’t mind seeing Cheney give a big, gulping taste of his own medicine, though we’ll probably have to wait until the next world for that to happen. One thing… If you would be so kind as to post a short review on the book’s Amazon site, I would be most grateful. Trying to get the word out about America Rising is both rewarding and frustrating. I need all the help I can get.
Thanks again,
Tom Paine
