Publisher's Summary:
For god and countryor simply for god? - The United States is holding an election whose results will determine how it wages the war on terror. With the Presidency seeming certain to go to the challenger, control of the country may come down to a single Senate seat and a hotly contested race in the "Buckle of the Bible Belt": Tulsa, Oklahoma.
In Tulsa, recovering methamphetamine addict Seth Stevens is trying to hold his fragile life together. He attends church faithfully, plays in a Christian rock band, and wonders if he's falling in love with the pastor's niece. But his decision to campaign for the church-supported candidate has unexpected consequences. He soon finds himself forced to answer an age-old question: what do you do when following your faith means breaking the law?
As good intentions lead to dirty tricksand a frightening revelation of one group's terrifying plan to take over the countrySeth learns that the Heartland isn't so far from the halls of power. Both far-fetched and frighteningly familiar,One Nation, Under Godserves as a gripping reminder that religious extremists don't fight only in foreign lands.

One Nation - Under...blah
I read Mr. Graff's "My Fellow Americans" first and while I wouldn't call it ground breaking literature, it was certainly an enjoyable read during a weekend at the cabin. Subsequently, I purchased two other books from Mr. Graff hoping for the same. Disappointment truly isn't a strong enough word. Poorly written, chunky, thinly veiled stabs at religions he doesn't understand, 3rd grade level dialogue are some of the thoughts that came to mind as I plodded through this tripe. In the interest of full disclosure, I paid $.99 for it on my Kindle...even at that I wouldn't call it a bargain.
Simple. Powerful. Sly.
A simple, sly, and ultimately devastating story about two young people from Oklahoma with different interpretations of Christianity, caught up in something much bigger than themselves. An understated political thriller from their fairly innocent viewpoints with an impact that doesn't hit until the last page is turned. Why sly? Despite realistic, sympathetic, and sometimes even sweet portraits of Seth and Terry, in the end, they are members of the mega-institution, The Free Church of God's Slaves. :)
A chillingly believable thriller
This is more believable if one has seen the documentary, JESUS CAMP.This is a disturbing look at fanatical religion and the danger it can represent when combineddd with political extremisn.This is a thriller which slowly develops into a conspiracy thriller. There are flaws which are difficult to discuss without spoiling plot development. Some developments just don't quite make sense, but nevertheless, it's a nail-biter.
Graff Delivers Again
Much like his first novel, Cold Lessons, (AKA Michael McCulloch) Graff presents us with an addict caught up in forces that outmatch his limited resources. Unlike the jaded drunken teacher in Cold Lessons, Seth Stevens is in recovery and has managed to pull his life together despite massive odds. One of his main sources of support- the Church of God's Slaves- ends up screwing him worse then meth ever did. This is a fascinating, fast paced trip through apocalyptic, born-again rockin' politics.
