Overview

Gary Jackson is raised to hate. Hate the United States, and everything it has ever stood for. His mission is to destroy the country from within, allying himself with the worst of America's enemies, and one very powerful and malevolent billionaire, to accomplish the deed. Once elected to the highest position in the land, Gary puts his lifelong goals to work, and puts the USA onto the path of ultimate destruction. He stops at nothing to rid the USA of his political and spiritual enemies. Once his goals are met, he sets his eyes on the ultimate prize, control of the rest of the world. Will anyone stop this man before it's too late?

Synopsis

Ever wonder what would happen if our worst fears were realized, and we elected someone who was willing to destroy the USA, even if he was destroyed himself? The Usurper is that novel. It is a fictional account of what would happen if the Soviet Union and KGB were given the chance to take down the United States from within using various methods at their disposal.


The USSR embarks on a plan to destroy the US from within, using the American political structure, and education system at first, but, starts backing any terrorist organization who has a beef with the USA, after they see how terrorism is an effective tool to use. Eventually, Al Qaeda fills the power vacuum left by the meltdown of the USSR, and they help the Soviets' inside man to completely destroy the US. A small group of resistance, led by a survivor of Flight 93, tries to bring down the now terrorist backed President of the US.


This novel takes you on a voyage from mentions about the 1972 Olympics and the terrorist threat there, to the Iranian Revolution, to the TWA hijacking in the late 1980's, to the first World Trade Center bombing, through Waco and Oklahoma City, and the 9/11/01 attacks. Discover what would happen if they were all linked, with the ultimate goal being the total collapse of the United States of America.

β€œA cold-blooded, Clancy-esque political thriller; The Usurper is sure to entertain.”

J.C. Phelps

I just finished reading The Usurper and enjoyed the book. I love the concept of this book and the ending caught me totally off guard. The Usurper is a quick read. There are many correlations with the real world that most of us can relate to. If only they had turned out differently. The book smacks of conspiracy theories. Who knows, this book could possibly be one of those that, in a few years, will make us wonder, "How did the author get so close to the truth?"

Richard Friedman

Amazing- edge of your seat thriller- The Usurper is the Real thing!! Cliff Ball makes both characters and plot come alive in what is one of the most scariest thrillers I have read. Scary because it is so possible. Read this and wonder at the talent of a top notch thriller writer.
