Taking Up Space

by Steven J. Wright

How far will a person go to get money and power?

A mysterious virus spreads across the country, killing millions. The ripple effect causes the otherwise strong economy to turn upside down, and the once secure nation now fears for the worst. The government has to take drastic measures to keep the country at peace, but it will come at an unusual cost not everyone is willing to pay.

In this fast-paced, suspenseful novel written in the style of a political and psychological thriller involving a deadly virus, terrorism, and scandal, follow the lives of three innocent people whose fate is put into the hands of a corrupt government.

Who was responsible for the virus? Where did it come from? What deep-seated childhood trauma would make a person want to destroy the world? Was it all part of a larger scheme?

Money and power, conspiracy and greed, and the elimination of those taking up space—how will people survive when the government creates laws that require some to pay the ultimate price?

An interesting idea

I truly enjoyed the idea behind the book and loved how the author weaved everything together. There were a few plot twists here and there which kept things interesting and honestly if a second book came out is be delighted. It was fully stalled up so i doubt there well be but I'd love to know what the author would have happen next.

This book hits the problems we have in our country. It shows how the wrong answers can be easily
enacted. We have to stay informed so it does not happen.

Prepare to decide what you believe.

Realistic story line built around relevant issues of today. Written from a Christian point of view this story tackles some tough issues in our country now.

Received under Goodreads Giveaways. Could not finish. Some nice characterizations, creaky rather mostly right-wing topical-modern plot I thought at first, then it became clear it’s a anti-(abortion)-choice (no exceptions) tract in the form of a novel about politics and terrorism. Some people will cheer the heroine deciding to keep her rape child (and too the paranoiäc mischaracterization of crisis counselors) but - not me.
