Clearly, what's most compelling about this book is the author's attempt to get the information out. He invites you up front to visit the compendium on his web site, which is in more detail and more often updated than the book itself is. Think of it as a kind of Trojan horse that doesn't have a lot of bite in its belly but does call attention to things that ought to be calmly considered. It doesn't have the hysterical edge that some in the 911 Truth Movement have, so I was able to read the information presented and think "Hmmmmm...." without rejecting it out of hand. I must admit, it made me want to explore further.

I found the nonfictional parts more compelling than the fictional story that follows. I get the sense that the fictional story is maybe a first or second draft that could have been much better had more elbow grease been applied; that, or an honest, heartfelt effort in the hands of someone who has no illusions about being a "real writer." In the hands of someone who would know how to treat the material, it could have been a real thriller with a movie deal in the works. As it stands now, though, it's pretty threadbare storytelling with mistakes that will make any sensitive reader wince.

I am happy, however, to have sent a bit of money this author's way. The more people we have thinking about what's really going on in our world, the better, and it's clear the author is passionate about his subject.

This book was so good that I'm having to read it again.

I came into the book not thinking much of the "9/11 Conspiracy Theories" and "9/11 Truth." But after reading through the book, I found all the coincidences very interesting.

Once I started reading the book, it did not take me long to read it. I only took me two sittings. And I read it very quick. I read it through in about 4 hours (with an occasional interruption). It's one of those books that you can't put down, and you every chapter ends on a high note.

I recommend that every one check out this book. Whether the 9/11 Conspiracy Theories are true or not, I think everyone should know about them. And The American Truth does a great job in explaining them in a very interesting fashion.

This is "fiction" disguised as fact or maybe the other way around. Most of the issues presented here are not new, I certainly didn't learn anything new and I found the fictionalized parts really trivial. This is a low grade adventure story. It is presented as an "All the President's Men" kind of thing, but I found it badly written and at the least in need of better proofing. About halfway through I decided it wasn't worth my time, there are so many better books to read. If one is interested in factual evidence presented by competent engineers, architects, fire and police personnel, it can be easily found. Watch the films: 911 In Plane Site and Loose Change.

Also check out the 911truth websites, there is enough information to take you completely by surprise if you haven't gotten into this before. I was just a dumb sheep in the American flock until about 2 years ago, I now firmly believe there is ample evidence to show that something happened on 9/11 that is NOT stated by our government. There was no comprehensive investigation about what happened. Maybe the government is embarrassed by their lack of action on that fateful day, or maybe they have a guilty conscience about their participation in those events. I don't know what to believe about how much the U.S. government played with the truth, but I know from a lifetime of listening to U.S. official propaganda that the official story is bogus. This book may offer some interesting theories and it's important for each of us to THINK and not just accept what is told to us, so for that reason I'll give this 2 stars rather than 1.

I didn't learn anything new from this book and cannot recommend it, even for the small amount of factual data there is.

There is an amazing amount of skill (and research of proved and accepted facts) required by an experienced writer to sucessfully pull off fictionm based on fact or should that bne the other way around. The man problem with using contraversial 'facts' is where does the fiction start and end. Which parts do you believe and which parts dont you - the boundary is very blurry on many occasions. certainly not the best book i've read but passable.

This is a fantastic book. I loved the style. It is a novel but with facts about 9/11 embedded into the story. If every one had read this book, the world would be a lot different right now.

The author Nick Shelton did a great job in using creating a creative and entertaining story out of facts established by the 9/11 Truth community. 9/11 Truth seems to be a political issue that is gaining interests in the U.S. and many international areas. I'm sure that high quality works like this one will help spread the message of 9/11 Truth and help raise awareness to one of the most controversial topics of today's time.

Regarding the storyline of the book, I thought it does a great job of creating an entertaining story with interesting research. The chapters are short and they are full of action. It was a pleasant surprise for me to read.

I don't usually recommend books (I'm more of the movie type), but this is one of those books that everyone needs to read. It catches your attention with surprising facts, then keeps your interests through a great story.

When I read the book, it actually read more like a movie. It did not have any "fluff" and long descriptions like in some literary works - it just used a lot of interesting facts to create a fast paced story.

I recommend everyone to get a copy of this work, or at least to read about some of the issues on the book's website at [...].

I bought this book while on the kindle for $1.18, but it is being sold on the site for over $12.00. The book tells you to visit the website for important parts and when you do, you find he has decided not to post it or his computer has crashed. The book doesn't tell you anything you haven't heard and the story isn't the best. The editing is terrible. Overall, it's extremely low budget and I overpaid for the book. Do yourself a favor and read it on his website[...]

This is one of the few books that held my attention throughout. I was able to read this brief book in a matter of two days (two different sittings). The plot is an action-packed adventure that presents a lot of eye-raising issues. I agree with the other reviews here on Amazon in that it is like a short Da Vinci Code. But I think it does a lot better job in putting in researched facts throughout the novel.

When I started reading this book , it was one of those that you just cant put down. I ended up reading the entire book at one time! I highly recommend this book, a must read. You won't be sorry!!
