4.0 out of 5 starsEntertaining but it fizzles
By A Customer on January 25, 1998
Format: Hardcover
NASA senior crash site investigator Dr, Linda Franklin is investigating the crash of a strange aircraft in the Arizona desert. However, before she can get far with her inquiries, the investigation is abruptly closed without any explanation. When her boss is murdered, Linda turns to her deceased spouse's friend John Peterson to help her investigate what happened to him and what occurred in the southwest desert.
As they travel to Malaysia, the two amateur sleuths soon find themselves tracking down illegal American construction of biochemical weapons. Their discovery places the pair in grave danger from a fanatical group, the Vanguard, a military-industrial cartel (Ike's worst nightmare), who will do anything to keep their clandestine activities secret.
WORLD ORDER starts off with plenty of promise that fails to deliver. The story line, which is gleamed from recent Gulf War syndrome headlines, tries to capture everything that Andrew Goliszek feels is wrong with nineties America. That is too bad because what could have been a great biochemical warfare thriller turns into a muddled tale. Anyone who wants to read about America's woes should try Roger Moore's book, DOWNSIZING THIS.

3.0 out of 5 starsFrightening and preaching
By James Mann on August 3, 2003
Format: Hardcover
True, this book isn't high fiction, but the story it tells is chilling. In a time of concern about WMD, this book shows perhaps who is really behind biological weapons research. Other than the writing style (which is mawkish and strained), the only real down point of the book is the concept that America's stature in the world has declined primarly due to drugs. When the drug pipelines of the world are wiped out, America bounces back from the edge of destruction, according to Goliszek. Of course, the problem could more easily be solved by legalization, but as a person employed in the field of public health, it would be against engrained dogma for the author to admit such. Still, a scary look at the illegalites our government seems to relish in dealing in.

4.0 out of 5 starsEntertaining and frightening all the same
By A Customer on March 15, 1999
Format: Hardcover
I found this entertaining novel a bit frightening after peeking at the back pages and discovering that much of the information is based on fact. The author, a scientist with access to many government documents and much declassified information, weaves real life intrigue into his plot. What surprised me all the more, though, was that Goliszek did such an accurate job of portraying the president (I knew it was Clinton), even before all the scandals broke. All in all, World Order is much more readable and enjoyable than some recent Clancy novels and gives the reader an real sense of just how much secrecy there is still out there. A good read for anyone interested in government agendas and real-life facts disguised as fiction.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery factual fiction
By A Customer on December 21, 1999
Format: Mass Market Paperback
Readers either liked or disliked this book, based I suppose on their political orientation (i.e., the last review). I thought it was very good in its portrayal of the dangers of biological weapons and the government's penchant for secret programs. Perhaps the writing is not as "literary" as some reviewers would have liked, but it is good suspense nonetheless. The author lays out a plot of what seems to based loosely on fact, and he then goes on to show us in the afterward and appendix that he had access to a lot of government documents. I recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 starsTerrible writing spoils a promising idea
By A Customer on August 27, 1999
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I cannot stress how poorly written this book is. Given the (apparently true) material that the author had to work with, it is difficult to conceive of a worse plot written with less skill. The paper-thin characters walk through their assigned parts like automata, behaving in unbelievable ways simply in order to fulfill the requirements of the story.
If you like conspiracy theories, particularly those based on essentially factual information, then you may like this book, but be prepared to wade through it painfully rather than enjoying the experience.

4.0 out of 5 starsA good suspense thriller with a shocking afterward
By A Customer on November 13, 1998
Format: Hardcover
I found World Order entertaining (more so than any of Clancy's books, which seem to go on forever), but it wasn't until I got to the author's afterward that I realized how true many of the plot twists in this novel could actually be. Biological weapons research, CIA mind control projects, Gulf War Syndrome cover-ups. How and where he came up with these documents is amazing but they're all true. A highly recommended book for readers who like a reality check.

I enjoyed the book because it had a good bit of factual information that made you realize how very little we know about our government's secret programs. Scary stuff.
