This book confused me. At first I thought it was a satirical look at the Government/Military and their secret programs. The author even tied the explanation behind the Waco debacle and the Heaven's Gate mass suicide into what was going on in the book. But the more I read the book the more I started to believe that the author wasn't trying to be funny, that he might actually be serious. I haven't seen the movie. I have been told by numerous people to avoid it, that it was horrible. I wasn't pleased with the book because I couldn't figure out what the authors stance on the whole thing was.
