'... his plotting is superb. This book is an alarming reminder of how vulnerable we all are to weapons of mass destruction' -- WESTERN DAILY PRESS 'Meade does an excellent job' -- Newt Gingrich 'No one else foresaw a massive al-Quaida attack on the US mainland as accurately nor with such eerie timing... Meticulously researched' -- The Times 'A tremendous sense of dramatic action and page-turning excitement culminating in a riveting, thought-provoking climax' -- Marcel Berlins in The Times on Snow Wolf 'He has taken a piece of second world war history and gilded it with his craftman's hands to create a desert stormer' -- Evening Herald, Dublin on The Sands of Sakkara 'Sheer, nail-biting suspense.

Customer Reviews

Excellent and exciting read
I am a big fan of Glenn Meade, and RESURRECTION DAY certainly does not dissapoint. I preferred Snow Wolf and The Sands of Saqqara, however, I also thoroughly enjoyed RESURRECTION DAY, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It is certainly considerably better than most topics that have attempted to deal with a similar theme over the past three years. Amazingly, this prophetic novel was completed just weeks before September 11, 2001. And the story has disturbing parallels with what happened on that fateful day. This book is fast-paced and there is considerable political intrigue, giving us a glimpse into the kind of manipulation and insincerity that almost certainly plagues the corridors of power in Washington DC. And a fascinating (if fictional) account of a humbled head of state trying to deal with a terrorist. The President of the USA is well portrayed, and certainly appears more competent than the current incumbent! While it is a complex and long story, with a predictable conclusion, I believe it is well worth the read.

True to life...??
This book is excellent, but a scary read! It seemed too coincidental given the events of Sept 11, however when you realise the book was written prior to this date, it makes it a very chilling read. It takes a little bit to get going as there are quite a lot of characters and a lot of scene setting intially, but once you are into it, you won't be able to put it down. It's fiction, but there is a lot in the book that perhaps isn't that far from reality - scary!!

A terrific read! A stunning book.
One of the best books I've ever read. An incredible book, prescient and right up to the minute, about an Al-Qaeda terrorist attack on Washington DC--a must for Meade fans, up there with Snow Wolf, and maybe even better. You have to read Resurrection Day--it's scary, fast paced, terrifically well researched, and stunning.
