Scariest Book Buy Online is "King of Bombs"

"This book is not for the faint of heart," wrote a reviewer on the online bookstore, Amazon.com, after reading Sheldon Filger's terrifying new novel about nuclear terrorism, "King of Bombs." Other readers sharing reactions after reading the book have described it on various online book buying sites as, "Chilling, terrifying, page-turning."

What is it about "King of Bombs" that has aroused such strong feelings from readers? Perhaps one reviewer on Amazon.com described it best,"This can actually happen!"

The premise of "King of Bombs" is a post-9/11 terrorist attack on America involving nuclear weapons, orchestrated by Al-Qaeda, with covert assistance from Iran and North Korea. The novel's focus on the determination of radical elements in Iran's government to deal a death blow to America draws eerie parallels to today's headlines, with the President of Iran actually calling publically for the annihilation of the United States, while pursuing a secretive nuclear research program.

"I wrote 'King of Bombs' as a warning of the growing threat of nuclear terrorism to America's survival," the author of the controversial book said. A witness to the 9/11 attacks on New York City, Filger's experience led him to research the possibility that terrorists could, in the future, strike at America with weapons of mass destruction. His conclusion was that the threat of nuclear terrorism is not only real but imminent. "King of Bombs" is a reflection of Sheldon Filger's concern regarding America's vulnerability to a post-9/11 attack that would far exceed most Americans worst nightmares.

Unusually well-researched for a novel, one reviewer wrote on Amazon.com that Mr. Filger demonstrated a knowledge of nuclear weapons that was "Astonishing." There is a chilling air of realism in "King of Bombs," prompting one reader to write, "This could be tomorrow's headlines!"
