I enjoyed reading this book even if it was unbelievable. This is not your usual suspense novel.The author takes present day events and some historical ones and combines these with various articles and papers about the present day economy and currency matters. He uses this information to create the world of 2022. Two years prior in 2019 the US dollar collapsed and lost most of its value and it is no longer a reserve currency. The union is falling apart and states are seceding and will soon become independent countries.As the story opens a computer specialist is flying home from a business meeting. He is thinking about the nice encounter he had at the Seattle airport with a man who gave him a magazine to read on the plane. After  he departs the plane he is kidnapped but escapes when there is a car crash. He runs into a restaurant and meets a historical economics student who is his waitress. He tells her his story. The plot of the story is that they try to determine who is after him and why. He does learn that it involves the 2019 crash of the US economy. They meet a lot of  interesting characters along the way but unfortunately many nice people who try to help them are murdered.People who like conspiracies will like this book. The biggest negative is that this book is way too long  and becomes boring when things are repeated over and over.
