Product Description
A plan to destroy America, a hundred years in the making, is about to be unleashed . . . can it be stopped?

There is a powerful technique called the Overton Window that can shape our lives, our laws, and our future. It works by manipulating public perception so that ideas previously thought of as radical begin to seem acceptable over time. Move the Window and you change the debate. Change the debate and you change the country.

For Noah Gardner, a twentysomething public relations executive, it’s safe to say that political theory is the furthest thing from his mind. Smart, single, handsome, and insulated from the world’s problems by the wealth and power of his father, Noah is far more concerned about the future of his social life than the future of his country.

But all of that changes when Noah meets Molly Ross, a woman who is consumed by the knowledge that the America we know is about to be lost forever. She and her group of patriots have vowed to remember the past and fight for the future—but Noah, convinced they’re just misguided conspiracy-theorists, isn’t interested in lending his considerable skills to their cause.

And then the world changes.

An unprecedented attack on U.S. soil shakes the country to the core and puts into motion a frightening plan, decades in the making, to transform America and demonize all those who stand in the way. Amidst the chaos, many don’t know the difference between conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact—or, more important, which side to fight for.

But for Noah, the choice is clear: Exposing the plan, and revealing the conspirators behind it, is the only way to save both the woman he loves and the individual freedoms he once took for granted.

After five back-to-back #1 New York Times bestsellers, national radio and Fox News television host Glenn Beck has delivered a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that seamlessly weaves together American history, frightening facts about our present condition, and a heart-stopping plot. The Overton Window will educate, enlighten, and, most important, entertain—with twists and revelations

no one will see coming.

5 out of 5 stars Taught me things I thought I knew...   June 18, 2010

I am a regular Glenn Beck listener, watcher, and reader so when I opened the book I thought it would be a good story but I pretty much knew all he had to say. So I started reading. The story-line is good and kept my attention. I was drawn into Noah - liking him and even liking the father for a substantial portion of the book. In fact, it took me a long time to warm up to Molly as she definitely had an agenda. I think the biggest surprise was that it wasn't as predictable as I thought it would be - and when I got to the part about the "plan" the last entry on the list just stunned me. I won't give it away - but that really has been my lingering nagging question. Anyway - if you hate Glenn you'll hate his novel - if you like Glenn you'll probably like his novel. If you're like me and think you've heard all he has to say - you'll be very glad you read it. He's not done teaching just yet. The Overton Window was a fast paced, easy to read thriller that humbled me back down into learning mode...definitely worth your time.


5 out of 5 stars Can't wait for the next one!   June 15, 2010

I ordered a signed copy of this book through Glenn Beck's website and was surprised to actually receive it last Thursday--almost a week before it was supposed to be released.

I read it within 24 hours! I'm not a huge reader of fiction (one or two books a year), so I can't provide a trained critical review. But, as a concerned citizen of this country, it was refreshing to see an author correctly portray who the viliians of our society really are, and who the heroes are.

Some may call it a book filled with wild conspiracy theories, but it's not about trying to prove any particular conspiracy. The purpose of this book is to educate the reader to dig deeper beneath the propaganda we are exposed to on a daily basis and "question everything". It challenges us to find out for ourselves what to take on face value, and when to be a skeptic. And it does it all through a creative and entertaining storyline.

I can't wait for the sequel. I will be purchasing copies for friends and family.

By the way, unlike most thrillers written these days, this book is clean and appropriate for all audiences!



5 out of 5 stars Something fishy here...   June 15, 2010

Please ignore the below reviews on this book. It hasn't even been released yet!! Commenting on a book you haven't even read just because you disagree with the author's political views is ridiculous, disgusting, and WRONG. It disrespects the author, this forum, and every single Amazon customer, and reveals the reviewer as a close-minded, bigoted fool. I have reported all of the below reviews to Amazon as inappropriate, and I hope others will as well.

If you have read this book and have an honest opinion, good or bad, about it, I'm sure we'd all love to hear it! Otherwise, please keep your prejudices to yourselves.



5 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, but there had better be a sequel!!   June 16, 2010

I bought the kindle version, and read it in one day. I thought it was a great book. Very well written, it is one of those books that grabs you and doesn't let go. Glenn, I really hope you're working on a sequel. If that is the intention, then great. well done. You get the feeling that there is more to come, kinda like the Vince Flynn novels.


5 out of 5 stars Expertly written - couldn't put it down   June 15, 2010

I greatly anticipated receiving and reading this book. Once I started, I couldn't put it down until I found out how it ended. I definitely was not disappointed; it kept my undivided attention and interest wondering what would happen on the next page. There were certainly surprises along the way - not really sure sometimes who all the "good" people were and who were all the "bad" ones. Glenn Beck is an expert in describing a situation in words to paint a very clear picture of what is happening. I highly recommend this book - it really helps you think outside the box at the possibilities.
