Militia groups are exploding in the US - in fact they've more than tripled in the last few years. Satan’s Road tells the story of one very successful group who has serious plans to disrupt life in America as we know it using technology and deadly extortion.There’s lots of murder and mayhem here with a nice road trip race to the finish where we finally get inside the militia compound and see what makes it tick.This is an interesting follow-up novel to Buzzworm with less computer technology and more extortion and murder. Detective Greg Hyde is back - the big, blockhead cop with the nasty sense of humor. I kind of imagine he’s what Jack Reacher will be in ten years - not as quick on his feet perhaps, but making up for it with his wit instead. But still able to handle a good old fashioned bar fight.Cage makes an interesting case for how Revelations could be a prophecy and then shows how people with money and larceny in their heart can then use that knowledge to have their way with the world. And who’s going to stop it? A retired History professor (Vietnam vet) whose wife has been kidnapped?Compact, clever in parts, and economically written with a nail-biter ending.
