The Gathering Storm by Frank Simon

ONE FEDERAL JUDGE IS DEAD AND THE PRESIDENT COULD BE NEXT.

Only one person knows who lies behind the sinister winds blowing off the Lake Michigan shore.

Barbara Post is an ATF agent from Texas who specializes in heavy-weapons and explosives. After investigating the murder of a federal judge in Yellowstone National Park, she is assigned to the ATF office in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she is to investigate a militia movement brewing along the shores of the Great Lakes.

What Barbara discovers is more horrorific than anyone could ever have imagined. She finds the militia much more than a group of local yokel government dissidents. Instead it is really made up of elite trained soldiers who have been deliberately cultivating a low profile. They are not only responsible for the federal judge's death in Wyoming but have an even more dangerous plot they are about to execute.

A timely suspense-filled action thriller about the threat of terrorism from militias within the United States.

My Review:
I picked up this book from a sale bin at my local Christian book store. Although the subject matter is intriguing, I feel that the plot is weak. In some spots, it seems to come to a stand still.

In addition, it almost seems like two stories: a militia robbing a transport of arms with an assassination attempt tacked on. Interspersed is a unnecessary romance between two of the characters that reads flat.
