Summary: Absolutely great.
Review: Best seller material
This is a thought provoking, action packed story which should be not only a bestseller but a terrific movie. I could picture the scenes as if it was a movie before me. Very descriptive but easy reading. Very believable, especially after the horror of 9/11.

Summary: Unbelieveable! Great! The Best Novel This Year!
Review: I loved this book. It is amazing how it is exactly about what is happening in the world today. Here you have six main characters who interwine with each other until the end when each one's life is dependent on all the others. Ingenius plotting! Every reviewer was right on. I read it every free moment I had, sometimes for hours on end, and finished it faster than any book I've ever read. If you pick one book to read this summer make it this one.

Summary: I Hate Reading, But . .
Review: I never read, but after hearing Bruce Schwartz being interviewed on the radio I was so intrigued by his book The Twenty-First Century that I bought it as a gift for my roomate. All through the book, she kept raving about it, so of course I had to see what all the hoopla was about. Would you believe I started it one morning on my day off and finished it that night? It was the best book I ever read. The characters and their plights seemed so real as if I knew these people. I was frightened about what could happen to our country and our way of living, and I was fascinated with Senator Sam Howard's platform on how America could be changed for the better. There are so many levels to this book, so many insights, and so many emotions. The best thing is, I no longer hate reading. I can't stop thinking about the story and I worry it's going to happen here just like it did in Spain before their election. Thank you Mr. Schwartz for that wake-up call. Everyone should read this great book.

Summary: A new Tom Clancy has arrived
Review: I read this book straight through. The characters were so well-defined, so believeable, so interesting, that I felt I knew each one personally. The plot scared the bejeebies out of me because it felt so real, and it can happen to our country anytime. Bruce Schwartz (and I can't wait to read another of his books) has written a book that you can see happening right in front of you. There are twists and turns and an ending that is great. Anyone who loves edge-of-tour-seat reading, this is the book for you. The movie is going to be a blockbuster smash. What a great book!

Summary: Everone's Right About This Novel
Review: I saw some people on the plane reading The Twenty-first Century, then I saw some people on the train reading it. I'd never heard of this book so I looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were unbelieveable, so I bought a copy. It's extraordinary! The plot is a little too horrific for me, but the characters are so rich that I, like everyone else who reviewed the book, couldn't put it down. Sometimes you find a gem among the glass. This is one of those times. Soon, this will be on the NY Times bestseller list.

Summary: This is fiction turning into non-fiction
Review: I was amazed, dumbfounded, and every other word one can possibly think of, about The Twenty-First Century. Once you pick it up, there's no putting it down. Bruce Schwartz leads you this way, then without you knowing it, he's leading you the other way. Yes, you know who's behind the conspiracy in the first hundred pages or so, but it doesn't matter. The characters and their lives are what matters and how they're going to get out of this mess and make everything right again. I gave it 4 stars, not 5 because the book frightened me so much, especially with a presidential election coming up soon with a promise of major attacks in America happening before then. How did Bruce Schwartz know this before everyone else? What happened in Spain mirrors his book, and his book is so believable that you can be certain it's going to happen here. This author is either prophetic or a genius. I'm going to tell everyone about this book.

Summary: It so good when you find a new author
Review: I'm a big fan of thrillers. Some of my favorite authors are Ken Follett, Robert Ludlum, Michael Connelly, and Vince Flynn. I am now adding Bruce Schwartz to that list. What an easy book to read. It's so much about what is happening in the world today that it takes your breath away. The author keeps you guessing with his twists and turns, and every character's plight is interesting. It was like I was watching a movie in my head. Everyone is right about this book. It was absolutely the best!

Summary: I could not put it down...!!
Review: Mr. Schwartz draws from today's headlines to create a work of fiction that quite frankly is the best book I've read in 2003. He draws you into a story that seems as if it is jumping off the page to the evening news. His aticulate style and spell-binding story telling will not allow you to walk away until the final page. Bravo Bruce....you have managed to forge a true winner out of the constant stream of literary dribble that has flooded the market since 9/11. I can not wait for your next offering
