"Slave Dog Journals" is a very well-written thriller/mystery. The storyline follows Bob Phelps, an out of work man who starts up a critical thinking class.Robert Rupp spins an interesting tale that puts much emphasis on the massive cover-ups that go on in the United States on a regular basis. In an effort to keep a lid on widespread chaos, Homeland Security puts some spin on incidents to make them appear not to be terrorist attacks. The book takes place in a modern day setting, at the beginning of the third World War. The President refers to this as World War III on Terrorism. During the story he is actively trying to bring back the draft.At the beginning of the class, Bob requests that his students keep a dream journal. Part of each class is using critical thinking to assess their dreams. As quickly as the class begun, strange occurrences happen, all leading up to a terrorist attack on American soil. As the story unfolds, the incidents lead to Homeland Security putting Bob and hid wife, Darlene to work.It appears to the world that the end times are near. Terrorists have figured out a way to cause mass chaos in the United States, damaging historical monuments with what some think is God, while some think it is a parlor trick.When the president faces real danger, Bob and Darlene are on the case.I had such a hard time putting this book down. I would love to see a sequel.
