Items related to The Roche Limit
Bigoted and demented intelligence operative Bob Faller hates what his beloved America is becoming: A Liberal freak show, where various minorities are challenging the natural, fair and balanced order of things - upheld by the sacrifices of proud, White, All-American men like himself. What makes Bob even more furious: An "African Muslim Communist" could become the next Commander-in-Chief and put an end to all these good, clean, fun wars - perhaps even put Bob and his pals behind bars, just for doing their patriotic duty. But Bob and his boss - the morbidly obese spy master Randall Flesko - soon have bigger things to worry about: Throughout the Middle East, their high value targets are vanishing into thin air - seemingly with the aid of some unknown clandestine unit. Bob senses that America is facing an immense threat. Have the terrorists managed to slip away in order to prepare for another - even more devastating - attack on the Homeland? THE ROCHE LIMIT is a captivating, nightmarish road trip through terrain bordering "American Beauty" and "American Sniper" - an unrelenting piece of dark, satirical fiction that "...pulls no punches and has a lingering power..." (Publishers Weekly).

About the Author:
Jonas Vesterberg (born 1978) is a Swedish writer and journalist who has spent most of his adult life in the United States. His first novel, The Roche Limit, is a raw, uncensored exploration into the psychological costs of living in a constant state of war - not only with others, but also with oneself.
Inspired by authors such as Michel Houellebecq, Hermann Hesse, Bret Easton Ellis and James Ellroy - but also thinkers such as Nietzsche, Marcuse and Arendt - Vesterberg uses the method of dark fiction to challenge our understanding of good and evil; power and powerlessness; right and wrong.
In The Roche Limit, violence, alienation, racism, misogyny, consumerism, corporate greed, poverty, religious extremism, sexual abuse and the floating boundaries between sanity and insanity are all explored and exposed through the sudden breakdown of U.S. Special Forces Major Bob Faller's compartmentalized inner world.
