Here are 3 of the reader reviews of the The Usurper, all of which have been 4 stars on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/The-Usurper-ebook/dp/B003VP9VVK

Brian Knapp says: Cliff weaves an interesting story with enough connections to real happenings in the world today that this book seems to be non-fiction. Just when you think you know where the story line is going Cliff changes up on you. While some things are predictable others are not, which adds to the enjoyment of the book. Some events catch you totally off guard. While it may seem to start slow stick with it, you will not be disappointed.

Tracey Alley says: The Usurper is not usually my favourite type of novel but Cliff Ball really surprised me. This is a very fast-paced, action-packed book once you get past the first few chapters. I think what impressed me the most was Ball’s very accurate depiction of the power of indoctrination. In many ways it was a rather chilling view of what ‘could have been’. If you like political thrillers then I highly recommend it. I only took away a star because it wasn’t really my kind of book so I couldn’t get as lost in the story as I would’ve liked.

JC Phelps says: I just finished reading The Usurper and enjoyed the book. I love the concept of this book and the ending caught me totally off guard. The Usurper is a quick read. There are many correlations with the real world that most of us can relate to. If only they had turned out differently. The book smacks of conspiracy theories. Who knows, this book could possibly be one of those that, in a few years, will make us wonder, “How did the author get so close to the truth?”
