> Vice President Joe Biden is fresh out of the Obama White House and feeling adrift when his favorite railroad conductor dies in a suspicious accident, leaving behind an ailing wife and a trail of clues. To unravel the mystery, "Amtrak Joe" re-teams with the only man he's ever fully trusted--the 44th president of the United States. Together they'll plumb the darkest corners of Delaware, traveling from cheap motels to biker bars and beyond, as they uncover the sinister forces advancing America's opioid epidemic.

Duuuuude. Where have you been? Amazon page.
That's true. I was glib.
What I'd actually want to see is an experienced prosecutor like Harris appointed to AG with her number 1 responsibility being the investigation into corruption if the Trump administration
Not Biden personally running down leads or anything

FRench amazon but should be findable in english
author : daniel suarez
the BP story is a discombobulated mess... Can't decide if it's better or worse off as things like TRANSCENDENCE got cancelled (people scanned into computer become immortal robots.. WTF does this have to do with GHOST RECON).
They lost me with the the whole DEEP STATE kidnapping operators so they could use them for mind controlled drones... Just GTFO! Who wrote this garbage?!?!?
MOTHERLAND stands alone, as having a cohesive plot/objective.
If they had really wanted to do Spec OPS "ghost team" versus drone/tech then they should have just bought this guy's book: https://www.amazon.com/Kill-Decision-Daniel-Suarez/dp/0451417704
You mean the memes about the Obama-Biden bromance?
You get that those were not making fun of Biden but celebrating the bromance right?
Also, if you really want to be entertained by the Biden Obama friendship someone also wrote crime novels about them.
You're welcome.
Are you already aware that they are going to make a Heat 2? The book was released this year: amazon.com/Heat-2-Novel-Michael-Mann/dp/0062653318.
Michael Mann has spoken about filming it in a couple of interviews already!!
Which is funny, because there's already a book with a similar concept.
Maybe the Ikea experience is just kinda ... horrifying.

This is a horror/comedy written in the form of an Ikea catalog.
Jenny Nicholson did a long form review/critique of Trigger Warning by William Johnstone, which is along the same lines.

This one. It’s sort of a right-wing male fantasy fulfillment novel. It’s not funny because of the political implications though, it’s just written very poorly. Typos aside, it reads like a 12-year-old’s hero fantasy. Silly stuff.
You've made multiple baseless claims and have been spouting off unsubstantiated bullshit since Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and this is what gives you a laugh, man? You're just so clever, aren't you? Can you not try to be less... clever?
Regardless, whatever you write about (and, no, I don't care) is probably similar in nature to conservative, machismo jack-off porn like Trigger Warning.

I have a book recommendation for them.
Seems to be quite cheap on Amazon at the moment.
The Secret History is good to read before season three but can be read after just as well (although it definitely should be read after the movie, not before), while The Final Dossier is specifically post-season. Neither is 100% necessary but they do fill in a few blanks. What happened to Leo (dead, but not how you think), Annie (alive, but not how you think), Audrey (aha...Buckle up) and some of the doppelganger's moves between season two and three.
I'd recommend Secret History far more than the Dossier overall. It adds a wealth of background to the town, several characters (spanning both seasons and movie), even some of those soapy random newcomers from season two get great new stuff.
I'm going to throw a couple of non-King books out there that are good Halloween reads....... Clive Barker Books of Blood........Amazing short stories......
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
And someone I know probably no one here has heard about...... Scott Sigler....... He's an amazing horror author.... Start with infected..... It's not for the squeamish lol https://www.amazon.com/Infected-Novel-Scott-Sigler/dp/030740630X
One of the guys writing about him on amazon said this about it...... "Part Stephen King, part Chuck Palahniuk, Infected blends science fiction and horror into a pulpy masterpiece of action, terror, and suspense. Three recommendations: don't read it at night, or just after you've eaten a full meal, or if you're weak of heart. You've been warned!"
This sounds a lot like <em>Daemon</em>, by Daniel Suarez, a read that I fully recommend. The book was published before even Bitcoin was a thing (late 2006), so the AI had to be a bit more creative about the incentives.
Finished Twin Peaks: The Return last night after semi-marathoning it all week.
I refreshed myself on some things before watching it but I was sort of just watching it to enjoy and then there was a test at the end and I was unprepared. ��
You know there will be going in but I regret not prepping more before watching it.
(Apparently reading the book The Secret History of Twin Peaks would've helped a lot. I'm checking it out of the library and hoping I can retrospectively interpret The Return through it.)
This is a novel set in a store that's basically a parody of IKEA. Have you read it? If so, what did you think? https://www.amazon.com/Horrorstor-Novel-Grady-Hendrix/dp/1594745269/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Speaking of greatness -- check out Mark Frost's book of background material on Twin Peaks: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-History-Twin-Peaks-Novel/dp/1250075580

This was already a prompt. One that spawned such a successful result that a book came out of it.
I can't find the original prompt right now, but I'll throw in a link to the authors subreddit and the amazon page anyway.
That was actually a writing prompt over in /r/writingprompts and the writer eventually wrote a whole book. It's a pretty good read.
So has anyone heard of this book, "Daemon", by Daniel Suarez? Here is a link to it if you haven't LINK.
Well, in this book, a system of "ratings" is put into place for every individual's job, in which they are rated by everyone who has had an interaction with them. And there is a centralized HUD (head's up display), in which everyone can see the person's average rating. Basically, people cannot be dishonest at performing their job without consequences (downvotes).
It is not a long shot to require either this Subreddit, or a Reddit-like entity being the democratic foundation for truly representative politicians.
Basically, read the book! the way the rating system gets put into place is sociopathic, but ignoring that initial stage, it really is a future to look forward to.
I suppose what I mean is that they're too niche for anything mainstream. They'll always be relegated to the realm of fanworks. They're a subgenre of video games, and video games have a fairly slim amount of mindshare in fiction to begin with. Far more interesting to write about MMOs, since those involve significant amounts of the human population interacting with each other. On that note, there's this great pair of books. Not that it's related, I just really like them...
