We are living during a pivotal point in the history. Will America’s democracy stand strong or will the forces of authoritarianism reign supreme? Whether you are on the right or left side of the aisle or somewhere in between, this is a sci-fi novel for you. In the tradition of the masters of this genre, Mr. Earley describes a possible vision of the not-too-distant future where the world is dominated by the interests of China and its allies. In the United States, now called the North American Province, we see the impact of this new world order on the lives of the elite and everyday people. In the true American tradition of liberty and independence, a small group of people try desperately to cling to their freedom and their lives in the wake of a totalitarian and merciless regime that institutes random purges to keep people living in fear and in line. One of the characters in the book, J. Edward Klein, shares a powerful quote: “When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny” and he pondered, “…how to go back to liberty once tyranny was well-ensconced?” That is the question that I hope we are never asking ourselves.

The character development is strong throughout the book leading the reader to really care about what happens to them and how the whole story will unfold. I appreciate the author providing a list of characters with a short description of who they are, it really helps to keep track of everyone. I don’t want to give away the meaning of “the Coin” but it is a cleaver twist on how technology can be used at first for a seemingly benign purpose but later used for depraved actions.

Let’s make sure this future never becomes a reality. Read this book, give it to your friends, start of book club, and question everything!

A thought-provoking story that captures the reader from the beginning and takes them for a fun ride. Highly recommend.

The Coin is a terrific story. Action-packed, thought-provoking, enjoyable even if, like me, you disagree with the political Right.

W.T. Earley delivers, literally, from the book’s opening scene. Each additional chapter uncovers more of the mystery of how the U.S.A. and the rest of the world evolved into a dystopia with new boundaries, new rules.

The characters, especially the strong female leads, are believable and compelling. The ending leaves you wondering – what’s next? I look forward to reading Earley’s next novel.

The Coin authored by W.T. Earley is very well written and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the experience. Along with being a page turner The Coin is very thought provoking, along with a wake up call for America and the freedoms we all cherish. I can’t wait to see how the journey continues!!

W. T. Earley’s first book is an outstanding read. The story brings you in from page one, and it is hard to know at times if this is a work of fiction or our future being played out. The characters are rich, relatable and vulnerable too. I could not put the book down. Highly recommend for those who love historical fiction or enjoy a engaging story with deep rooted characters. Outstanding book!

W.T. Earley brings a fresh voice to the political thriller genre. His debut novel is an excellent read and hits the nail on the head with respect to today’s current events. Wonderfully written and makes you think about what the future holds for us. I hope this is just the beginning of Earley’s very interesting storyline!!

The Coin takes place in the future after World War Three. From the time I started the book till I finished, the world became that much closer to life portrayed in The Coin. Don’t miss this well written, edge of the seat, page turner.

This book took me on a colorful and thought provoking ride. W.T. Early has weaved an intriguing tale that is worth the time for anyone who prioritizes their freedom. Read it as a fiction page turner but remember it as you observe how our world is currently unfolding.
