Code Name: Juggernaut by author Sherman E. Ross is a stimulating thriller which balances the hate-filled and racist actions of terrorists who derive joy from killing other races with the excuse that they are the superior race and every other race should be murdered, against the efforts of law enforcement officers desperately trying to keep the country united, amid racially-motivated riots, conflicts, and murders.
The Aryan Church of Yahweh the Creator is a group of white supremacists who believe they will inherit the earth, so they must kill every other race and place the blame for their inability to secure jobs on everyone else but themselves, even as they engage in prostitution, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and various other illegal activities. They believe themselves to be holy and above everyone else. Jacqueline Lynch (Jack-L) is a trained assassin and member of this nefarious organization, responsible for carrying out its dirty work through its Werewolf arm. With the help of her boyfriend, Howard Brennan, an embittered ex-USAF colonel and nuclear engineer, she seeks to start a race war in twisted fulfillment of a few misinterpreted portions of scripture regarding the end times.
Ross maintains a steady pace of excitement and action throughout the novel, with one event unlocking another phase of this scheme to wipe out black people and Jews in America, while the law enforcement agents are constantly working to uncover their plots and stop them before it is too late. There are many scenes of violence and bloodshed due to the various clashes between these terrorists and innocent bystanders, as well as law enforcement agents, narrated with graphic and descriptive prose. The detailed explanation of how the terrorists scout for targets, plan their missions, and execute them without becoming cumbersome is admirable.
The book concludes with an engaging epilogue which ties up loose ends, even as the ending is ominous and leaves room for a potential sequel. The regularity of the profanities and some of the doctrines put forward in this novel might be offensive to sensitive readers; therefore, sensitive readers should beware.
Code Name: Juggernaut is a page-turner which left me eager to know if justice would be served and how. It was also intriguing to observe the workings of the minds of these terrorists as they absorbed and spewed their hate-filled doctrines with so much assurance and pride.
