The Perfect Plan is a novel about what is good and evil, politically and morally as seen through the author's eyes. Marshal Gunter, the son of a German Chancellor, is unknowingly led by Satan after he is weakened by the untimely death of his mother. Satan guides Gunter in gaining power to achieve his goal of acquiring total control of the world. After plenty manipulation and the coordinated assassination of the United Nations president, Gunter becomes the leader of the world.
John Morris, a typical American from Oxford, Mississippi, is led by God's archangel Michael to deliver an unsettling message from God to every human being on earth. The message gains worldwide attention when John delivers it through the internet and television with hopes that it will turn people to God and save people from being tempted by Satan and his mortal counterpart, Marshall Gunter. This clash of men and gods makes for a strange and interesting story.
The idea that John is receiving legitimate messages from god and needs to deliver these messages to everyone on earth to save the fate of mankind seems a little silly to me, although some of you may find it compelling. Regardless, the book is surprisingly well written and composed for being the author's first book.
I would guess that Boone's own message to readers is for them to be weary of a power like the United Nations looking to unite the world and strip each nation of it's independence. Although I respect his thoughts and ideas, I personally don't think that uniting the nations in ways that allow them to keep most of their independence is a bad thing. Divisions between nations and within nations tends to promote wars as seen historically around the world.
Rating - 4/5
