Talk:The Fifth Horseman (novel)

Very Recommended
Collins and LaPierre have mixed history and research to make a very believable novel. The publishers have noted that eventually we may have to confront this: it is a race against time locking up that Russian uranium and plutonium lying around. God knows people want to do it, that Russian fissile material is the means to the motive.

I recommend reading H.G. Wells "A World Set Free". "Malcontents" build Carolinium bombs (Wells got the behavior of fission wrong) that threaten civilization and cities and a strong world government (stronger than the United Nations) is the way nations seek "peace and safety", as the Bible puts it.

Then go read Revelations. If a bomb in the trunk of a car can wipe out a corner of a city, it doesn't matter which government you're an official of, you're going to be scared. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris-marsh-usa (talk • contribs) 02:06, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

God help us if the United States ever gets as desperate as the former Soviet Union, maybe if the national debt catches up with us? Chris-marsh-usa (talk) 02:16, 10 April 2010 (UTC) What would we sell? WMD? Especially as we are used to affluence?
