The Beginning of the End is the first novel by Michael T. Snyder, the publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog. If you want to know what things in America are going to look like in a few years, you need to read this book. The Beginning of the End is a mystery/thriller set in the United States in the near future. It is a time of unprecedented economic collapse, deep political corruption, accelerating social decay, out of control rioting in the cities and great natural disasters. In the midst of all of this chaos, a former CIA agent, a respected financial reporter and a blogger that takes his prepping to extremes all find themselves dropped into the middle of an ancient conflict between two shadowy international organizations. The three of them are absolutely horrified to discover that one of those shadowy international organizations is planning to hit New York City with the largest terror attack in U.S. history. The goal is to throw the entire country into chaos, but who will get the blame? A series of incredibly shocking twists and turns ultimately culminates in a wild cross country chase that leads up to a surprising ending that most readers will not see coming. A great storm is coming to America, and time is quickly running out. The Beginning of the End is a great book to give to anyone that is still not prepared for what is ahead. It is a wildly entertaining, fast-paced page-turner that is packed with an abundance of twists and turns that many readers will find difficult to put down, but it is also designed to communicate a tremendous amount of truth at the same time. This book is not just intended to entertain people - the explosive truths contained in this novel could literally change the world. If you have always felt a desire to be a part of something bigger than yourself, or if you are just a fan of great apocalyptic fiction, then you definitely should read The Beginning of the End. We are moving into the most unstable time in all of human history, and cataclysmic changes are coming. This is one book that will help you get prepared for what is ahead.

The Beginning of the End in Review
I thoroughly enjoyed “The Beginning of the End”. The story is set in today’s world of big government, spying on it''s citizens, and finally creating a tyrannical government to rule our country.The characters were well developed and realistic. Tom, Melissa and Russ were a few of the lead characters. Tom ends up working for an agency more secret than the CIA, so secret in fact it does not have a name. The story keeps moving at a quick pace as Tom, Melissa and Russ take action to have this super secret agency cease from existing. “False Flags” are used to get the citizens to support the goals of establishing a tyrannical government. I really enjoyed this realistic story by Michael Snyder.

I loved this book and greatly anticipate the sequel.

The items that really stand out and make this novel shine: Excellent plot, well developed with a great potential for reality, which actually adds to the suspense. Good development of believable characters. There are few in life that are 100% good or evil and this book shows development, especially of the main character. Morals are also important to this story line. Finally, it has been said that about 80% of the US believes in God but there is certainly a minority of us that strongly feel that not only is there a god, but that He is actively working, both on the international stage and in individuals' lives. This book contains this spiritual dynamic, which again highlights the potential for reality. Even if you do not care for the idea of a loving, active God, the way that it is presented is not overly religious as to completely turn you off unless you are just completely hostile to the idea. For those of us who would like to see more of this element, it works quite well.

Anticipating the sequel!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great plot!
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2014

I personally really enjoyed this book because of the plot, the ideas presented, and the fact that the book was an excellent story. There are a few things about it that I had to overlook, such as the technical ability of the writer, which I think will improve even further with time and another novel or two. I think there was a little too much exposition--which is a common failing in new or young or inexperienced writers--but I don't think the over- expositioning ruined the story. The story is still in its beginning and any subsequent novels may have less exposition. There are a few questions I thought of asking, such as, are the killer and several others possessed? I think if there are more novels, this needs to be dealt with. Also, the sentence structure could be tightened a little bit; this would help the flow of the story, and aid in conveying ideas quickly. The author does definitely clearly convey his ideas, though wordily at times. I would also suggest that he flesh out his characters a little more--both his main character and his ex-girlfriend. I liked how the author gave the ex-girlfriend a lot of rage and a good basic backstory, which I think still needs more details and motivations, maybe more complex ones, in the next novel. I think her development is a good start. I think the main character needs to reveal more of his thoughts and inner life, to understand his motivations more. I have read several other novels of this type in the past, and despite its faults, I think the tale is good and well-told.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Beginning of the End
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2013

This book is a great read, and compelling enough that in 12 hours (3 sessions)I had finished it. I would compare this to a modern day Atlas Shrugged, but instead of John Galt, there is a solution provider in this book with a different name, and I won't spoil your enjoyment by giving that away. If this book does no more than open your eyes to what's happening around us, then it will have accomplished its objective. I emigrated from Canada back in 1986 because of government overreach and taxation, and here I am planning to move once again to a more business friendly environment. Not only are we slowly losing our freedoms to a police state, but our government is systematically eradicating our middle class by forcing our small / medium size business to close up shop. If you go to the BLS website, and compare openings (start - ups) with closings (failures), you'll see that since 2008 through the 2nd qtr of 2012, we've had a net loss of 308,000 businesses, and that's a first in the history of the United States. Those 'pesky' entrepreneurs, thinking for themselves, are too hard to control, so lets stamp them out, and give all the business to the large corporations, that give us political contributions. Michael Snyder's book will set the tone for you, and then I would suggest you do some research, and get involved somehow, to make a difference. The time for sitting on the sidelines is over folks, it's time for action.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amateurish writing, lots of incongruities, but needs to be read by every American.
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014

The writing is amateurish, sometimes corny and somewhat stilted, but the book still needs to read and is enjoyable. First, the bad: there are some amazing incongruities in plot. A 7 foot 400+ pound assassin in full body armor somersaults over a speeding Audi. This armor is so effective that it allows the assassin to withstand the blast of an exploding gas tank right next to him. If you have ever seen "Hurt Locker" (see it) you'll know that body armor that has any chance of protecting the wearer from that kind of blast does not allow for somersaults over a small dog let alone a car.
A minister's daughter is murdered by the out of control secret organization and the scores of news people present agree not to post the story. We are expected to believe the neighbors don't come out with their iphones when scores of assault troops, black suvs etc. surround the property and make a show of abusing the innocent inhabitants. Has anyone ever heard of the Blaze or Breitbart TV? We are expected to believe that a BATFE agent who is stabbed 33 times, has his tongue cut out, is trussed up like a mummy and is thrown from a high window after filming an interview where he explains that the girl was murdered, and the police decide this was a burglary. An evil woman is stabbed in the back on a boat that is moments away from exploding miles from land, presumably in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, with no one around anywhere on the horizon and somehow she makes it back to land. I could go on, but you get the idea. Thousands of people are rounded up and many never return and no one fights back. Try that in West Virginia or East Texas. You could send that whole agency into West Virginia and none would come out alive. Some are worse. You get the idea.
The writing is pretty amateurish and stilted, "What did Tom want? That was a question that he knew that he did not have a good answer for."
Now the good: This book is very provocative and should be read for that reason alone. We have seen a steady increase in the abuse of power by government at most all levels, but particularly the Federal level. From the Clinton administration we got Waco, Ruby Ridge and a concerted effort to destroy the women who brought complaints against Clinton. From this administration we have the IRS targeting political foes on a major scale, then magically claiming that the hard drives of most every high ranking official magically failed and were hastily destroyed. We have the NSA monitoring nearly everything every American does electronically. The Administration bugged the communications of scores of AP reporters and have harassed Fox reporters who broke news embarrassing to the Administration. The CIA recently admitted to hacking into Senate computers after denying it. Even the Democratic Chairwoman of the committee was furious. A recent news article exposes a HHS executive asking a recipient to delete the email in violation of Federal law, and the list goes on and on. I am not saying this rises to the level of the abuse portrayed in the book, but we should all be very concerned that these steps are precursors to that kind of behavior. When we have an executive who thinks he can rule without Congress and has lost 12 cases before the Supreme Court 9-0, this should be a concern to all Americans.

This clearly a book written by an amateur that caugh me unguarded. Although it keeps you somehow interested for a while, the book has a hidden religious purpose, which has little to do with the book itself. I couldn't finish it.
