What I love about this author’s books is that I learn new things. The stories flow and the characters are interesting, all while telling history accurately.
This one had me intrigued, while also schooling me in things about history that I didn’t know.
A win-win!

A political thriller set in the early 1900s. A time when common people in the workforce thought things were unfair and decided to take things into their own hands. Teddy Roosevelt is nearing the end of his presidency when things start to heat up. With anarchists trying to kill political leaders, it was a terrifying time. This is the beginning of the FBI. I didn't know very much about this time period. It was a historical thriller full of suspense.

I really enjoyed this as a historical mystery element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel in this world. The characters were everything that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall concept that they were going on. Jerry Borrowman was able to weave a strong concept and thought it worked well in this genre. It uses the time-period perfectly and was glad I was able to weave a strong mystery element.

This was super interesting and intriguing. From the start I was hooked. I love learning and reading about history and this was a fun suspense about a time period I didn’t know a lot about. If you are a fan of history I highly recommend it!!

Flames of anarchy is a historical fiction that reads as a political thriller. It covers the attempted assassination of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which is something I had no idea had happened until I read this book. If you like Traci Hunter Abrahmson’s suspense books, then this is a great historical novel to try out!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy of this book. A review was not required.

FLAMES OF ANARCHY by JERRY BORROWMAN is an exciting, well written, and well researched political thriller that takes place in America in 1908, a turbulent time in history when the country is suffering from threats of anarchism in both the political and financial arenas. President Theodore Rooseveldt, senator Jason Ellis and the vice president elect, all come into the cross hairs of a young bolshevic assassin who is taking orders from some very bad and influential men. Jason’s best friend, Pinkerton agent Andy Pettit, is an interesting and loyal character, and travels with Jason and his wife on a diplomatic visit to Britain, Germany and Russia, in order to protect them and to dig deeper into any foreign involvment in two recent terror attacks…….
I like the way the author mixes real characters with fictional ones to enhance the story.
I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling your read.
I really recommend this enjoyable and highly interesting book to anyone who enjoys this genre.
