Book Review By soli
Day Of Reckoning by Michael Keating

Before the madness began John had a daughter and a wife whom he loved so much.
John loses both his wife and daughter in a painful way. Marie, his wife was the first to live him. She died of cancer. But at that time he didn't know the reason, though he lost her in a slow process of death. He didn't lose all his hope cause he had his daughter Julie. When his wife died he promised her he would take care of their little girl to the end of the world. But it didn't take long for Julie to take her mothers feet.
He tried hard to save her life. He went every where seeking help. But it was even worse to seek that help cause that help was what ended her life short. Like her mom she had cancer. But what made her death fast was the fact that she was given new medicine by the doctors. It was tested on her.
After she died John began collecting facts about those people who were the main cause for his wife and daughter short life. After many research he found out that the main cause for the cancer was pollution: Pollution caused by many great industries.
John now having many document and evidence of the pollution caused by these industries and companies began taking measures that he thought would solve the problems.
It was a kind revenge. He lost his families. He thinks that that was the only thing that he cares for. Everything became dark for me after he lost he daughter. He couldn't just let go. So he began selecting the victims he thought would bring some changes and those whom he thought were responsible.
These victims were president of many great companies and industries. But they were causing many distractions.
John thought that he should do something to stop them. When Julie was in hospital he has seen many kinds from different parts of the world that are victims of the pollution and many rays which shouldn't be realized in the atmosphere.
So he started his act of revenge. He selected major companies that contribute to the pollution. In his research he found out that this pollution they cause are mainly deliberate actions that they do to make sure that they stay in the business.
He communicates with his victims only by tape. He records what he wants to say to them on tape using computer voice so that they couldn't find any voice match and they couldn't trace it to him.
