Here is what Publisher's Weekly has said about the novel:
This book takes off - quite literally - when Jamie's high school friend Wilbur, just back from a tour of duty in Iraq, "borrows" his dad's Cessna to show Jamie a tiny island just off the Florida coast. Wilbur (now sporting muscles and tattoos and calling himself "Will") has brought along a duffle bag (possibly full of guns,) and reveals that, using skills honed as a member of the elite Special Forces, he plans to invade a similar nearby island and invites Jamie to come along. The book captures the enthusiastic, not particularly rational, thinking that propels the two young men to stage an actual invasion: Wilbur, humorless, obsessive and determined; Jamie, bright but without a world view to anchor him to the reality. Will transfers his energies from the Special Forces to his new invasion plan, recruiting his assault team from a loosely knit brotherhood of paranoid neo-Nazi survivalists he meets on the Internet and enlisting the support of his legendary Special Forces instructor, the fearsome Sergeant Hanson. Jamie goes along for the ride. And the author provides quite a ride, in this deceptively plain-spoken tale that turns out to be filled with clever, surrealistic, and darkly humorous plot twists.
