This was a very enjoyable read, and is quite thought-provoking. I wondered how all the characters would come together to make the story, but the author actually pulled it off. At first it seems like you're reading mini-stories.  You begin reading about an agent (Mitchell) who gets killed in the line of duty. Then you'll read about an up and coming politician named Alex. Then you'll move on to read about the story's main character, River, and his wife Eddy. Throughout the story you'll learn about Tyler Peterson and his quest for world-dominance. You get the picture. Lots going on here. But it's a very interesting read and all the stories do end up meshing quite well.It's a story of good vs. evil, of religion, of politics, of the media, basically a story about America. You can tell the author has done his research and is well versed in religion and politics. I didn't think I'd figure out why it was titled "Eddy's Current" but the the last few chapters tied it all together.The only part the really bothered me was a little over halfway through the book, the main character begins to speak directly to the reader, when that didn't happen before or didn't happen after that section. "I've already told you about xyz, now I have to go and leave you with abc." Felt a bit out of place.Overall, I enjoyed the story and would definitely recommend the book!
