Product Description

Tania Peters had it all—a loving, supportive family, and a future that seemed all but set.  But when her mother is killed in a plane crash in the jungles of Ecuador, her world comes crashing down around her.  As a result, she adopts a live for today philosophy.  Throwing herself into the arms of her boyfriend, Tania seeks all that society says will bring satisfaction and meaning into her life.  But she soon realizes this is a lie, and begins to fall under the spell of the Unity Party, a political movement that has swept Robert Allen into the White House.  But such allegiances come at a price: complete and unquestioned loyalty to the Party.  Despite all the “good” the Party does for society, Tania’s devotion to the movement is pushed to the limit when her own father, the Pastor of the Calvary Community Church, is arrested and jailed when he refuses to compromise his religious beliefs.  Forced to decide between her past and her future, Tania rediscovers the faith she has long since abandoned, even though such a decision could cost everything she holds dear, including her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vivid & Borderline Prophetic Page Turner!, August 1, 2011
This review is from: American Midnight (Paperback)
This gripping and articulately descriptive novel had me hanging in suspense way past my bedtime. What starts off as a look into the life of the main character Tania becomes a fast paced roller coaster ride with many twists and turns. The depiction of where the nation may be headed is a thought provoking wake up call to the reader. The central theme of faith is inspiring and encourages all of us to dig deeper into our convictions and priorities. I can't wait to see if the authors will resume the plotline. I for one will be lined up to find out what transpires with the characters and the notorious Unity Party...

4.0 out of 5 stars A Frank review of American Midnight, by Brandon Barr & Mike Lynch, September 29, 2010
This review is from: American Midnight (Paperback)
George Orwell said, "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." It is in such a political climate that we live, and that Barr & Lynch have set their political thriller, American Midnight. The message of truth could not be clearer.

We follow Tania, a typical teen trying to grow up in the sometimes cruel world. Her search for answers occurs at a time of deceit such as Orwell spoke, and therefore leads her to far more dire circumstances than your average teen discovers.

It would take only a nudge to make the United States exactly as Barr and Lynch portray, and therein lays the impetus to page-turn. It's like watching an automobile accident. As Tania goes from the frying pan to the fire, the reader is unable to pull themselves away from this story. It is so believable to be frightening.

In our post 9/11 world as the war-on-terror lurches into a peace at any price mentality, the warnings in American Midnight are indeed Orwellian. This is a very important novel for modern culture as the United States flirts with the fascism of early twentieth century Europe.

5.0 out of 5 stars American Midnight-Kept me up!, September 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Midnight (Paperback)
So I thought I would support my friend Mike's hobby of writing by purchasing American Midnight. I eagerly awaited it's arrival. It was the end of a long day and I decided to pick it up for some reading before I went to sleep....did I say sleep, I stayed up most the night. I could not put the book down. I read it while I was cooking breakfast the next day, during my breaks at work. I could not put it down. I was taken in immediately by the characters and the story. I loved how there were several stories going on throughout the chapters and how everything worked it's way together. Like a puzzle the pieces that were coming together created this great story. I can not wait to read their other books and look forward to further writings.
