Synopsis:
A plan to destroy America, a hundred years in the making, is about to be
unleashed. 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.

| New for 2010 |
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.
*****__From the Publisher
June 10, 2010: This is a fictional read, but how could you go wrong with
Beck? As usual, he possesses the insight to see through today's political
bull. Think he's crazy? Okay, you are entitled to your own opinion...don't
buy his book. But either way please keep in mind that this is not meant to
be some kind of exact prediction of America's future, just a warning,
eloquently worded, to bring the danger to your attention. Keeping your
head in the sand won't help our nation any. Try widening your horizons a
bit, you might find that he wasn't so crazy after all.*****__Anonomus
"Glenn Beck never fails to amaze. The Overton Window, a rip-roaring
read of the first order, is as good a political thriller as you're going to find
this year." *****__#1 NYT bestselling author Nelson DeMille
"Like the best thriller writers out there, Glenn scares us by showing what
can really happen. Get ready to sleep with the lights on. This is the one.
You'll never look at history the same way again."*****__ #1 NYT
bestselling author Brad Meltzer
"A novel ripped from today's headlines and destined to be as controversial
as it is eye-opening. No matter your politics, this Hitchcockian thriller will
have you turning pages well into the night."*****__ NYT bestselling
author James Rollins
