The first two books in Norman Brewer's The Anti-Hero Rebellions series will be available as free eBooks on Amazon on Thursday, February 20. The series presents fiction that directly engages with contemporary partisan politics, with both books already established as Amazon bestsellers.
"Blending In" depicts a nation gripped by fear as two ruthless terrorists attack soft targets including a Washington, D.C. press conference and an iconic mall in the Heartland, with other right-wing extremists joining the horrific crusade. The book has received a Five-Star Review from Readers' Favorite, which noted that "Norman Brewer creates a gripping terrorist thriller with characters readers want to follow... The action is intense and the narrative has strong psychological underpinnings... Tightly plotted and beautifully written."
The second book, "Killer Politics: A Satirical Tale of Homegrown Terrorism," features a Trump-like president who inspires a white supremacist to attack innocents in a treasonous bid to incite civil war while defending what he calls the "American way of life." Reviewers have described the razor-edged satire aimed at a so-called President Tower as "keen and stinging." The book can be read as either a stand-alone work or as a sequel to "Blending In."
Both books join Brewer's previous Amazon bestseller "January 6: A Novel," which depicts democracy under siege when a President's rally morphs into a mob that storms the Capitol. In that novel, right-wing extremists force a horrific standoff and unleash terrorism nationwide while the President weighs declaring martial law to restore order and justify refusing to leave office. "January 6: A Novel" was a 2024 Readers' Favorite Award Finalist and is described as an historic thriller.
Brewer brings significant journalistic experience to his fiction writing, having worked for The Des Moines Register and Tribune and for Gannett News Service in Washington, D.C., where he covered Congress, the White House, and pursued award-winning investigations. He also served as Director of Employee Communications at the U.S. Transportation Security Administration.
The free availability of these politically charged thrillers comes at a time when fiction exploring domestic terrorism and political extremism resonates with current events. Readers can access both books through https://rebrand.ly/odddpev starting February 20. The series offers a fictional exploration of themes that mirror real-world political tensions, providing readers with narratives that examine the psychological and societal impacts of extremism while raising questions about contemporary American politics.
