The 2012 phenomenon that’s going viral around the globe has led sociology professor Jameson Richards to study the impact on society when, like the Y2K scare, 12/21/12 comes and goes with hardly a wrinkle. This is the date that, according to the Mayan calendar, the doomsayers predict the world will end. Richards teams up with General Michaels, a scientist stationed at the Pentagon whose job it is to monitor the world’s fanatics, keeping an eye out for potential terrorists. Together they uncover something sinister going on beneath the surface, linked to billionaire and media mogul Jeremy Maxwell, who also happens to be a huge manufacturer of weapons systems. The 2012 date has captured Maxwell’s attention too, and he’s looking to cash in on the public’s fear and paranoia. And what he instigates–along with his corrupt partners–nearly starts another war in the Middle East, while also bringing the world to its knees economically. It’s up to the professor/general team to blow the whistle on Maxwell, hopefully in time to avert a major catastrophe.

Summary
From: Isaac Scego
Book Title: The Alarmist
Book Author: Don Hoesel
What do you like about this book:
Summery::
Don Hoesel is, indeed, a clean writer who longs for his books to have meaning. And even though this desire does shine through in his novel, I'd saw it is pretty hard to get to it.
The alarmist is a story that could have been much better--perhaps should have been. But its 314 pages trudge on about things that make no sense and spark no interest, making it seem like a thousand. This is something that his many shoot-outs can't make up for--especially the way he writes them.
For its cleanliness, I awarded it a 3.5 rating, but on its quality, I'd unfortunately have to give it a 1.5--and that's being generous. This was my first book of Don Hoesel, and definitely my last.
Sexual Content::
Romance between characters.
Violent Content::
This story has its share of gunfights and explosions, however, the deaths are pretty much bloodless. But the body count is reasonably high.
Language::
None.
Drug/Alcohol Content::
None.
Cleanness rating:: 3.5/5
Rating:: PG-13 - for action and some violence
