RUSH: I have come across a first-time author who is fantastic. His name is Christopher Rosow<\/a>. He\u2019s got two new books out. He\u2019s one of these guys, he\u2019s been working his whole life while dreaming about being an author. And it\u2019s his hobby, his passion. He\u2019s always wanted to do what he wasn\u2019t doing. So he finally sat down and actually, without having a publishing deal or any of that, sat down and wrote a thriller novel about terrorism and sailboat races and so forth. And a very unlikely hero is an FBI statistician, he\u2019s not an agent, who is thrust into the role of becoming an agent.<\/p>\n

\"\"And, you know, James Patterson is a golf buddy, a bunch of us here, and Christopher\u2019s dad took the manuscript to James Patterson and just said, “Would you read this? You know, you\u2019re the best in the business at this stuff, tell me what you think.” And Patterson raved about it. In fact, James Patterson said, “This book is so good, I can\u2019t even show it to my publisher. My publisher might throw me overboard if he saw this.” He was joking. But Patterson has raved about it. It\u2019s got a blurb quote on the cover.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s available in e-book and paperback right now. Self-published. And it\u2019s available at Amazon<\/a> and Kindle, the Kindle store and Apple iBooks. The e-book is only $2.49. The paperback version\u2019s around $18.50 and there are two of them. There\u2019s a two-book series. The first one is called False Assurances and the second one is Threat Bias.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it\u2019s about a very unlikely hero, an FBI statistician. He\u2019s a systems operation guy. He\u2019s not an agent. He\u2019s overweight. He\u2019s lacking everything you think about when you think FBI agent. He goes to thrust into a case because everybody else is occupied on the job of the presidential visit in Boston. He gets thrust into it, he\u2019s the only guy who sees the potential threat here in his office and forces his way onto the case.<\/p>\n

I could not stop reading the book. It got to be about 1:30 in the morning and I had to put it down and I couldn\u2019t quit. So if you\u2019re at home and you are looking for things to do, TV reruns have started now, you\u2019ve seen everything there, you really ought to get it. I remember when Joel Rosenberg wrote his first book. Remember, Mr. Snerdley? Joel Rosenberg worked at The Limbaugh Letter, he wrote a novel, he brought it in to me. I have to read this just to be nice. And I couldn\u2019t put it down. This is the same.<\/p>\n

The book is called False Assurances. It\u2019s the first in a two-book set, paperback, $18 bucks. The e-book is $2. You can\u2019t afford not to have these things. They are really good. I had to work hard last night to stop reading and go to bed. I\u2019m about halfway through the first one. Christopher Rosow is again the author and the budding up-and-comer who impressed the heck out of James Patterson. Doesn\u2019t get any better than that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, Mr. Snerdley. The title is False Assurances. And Rosow is spelled R-o-s-o-w. Christopher Rosow, R-o-s-o-w. False Assurances is the title of the book.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Righto. Right on. Welcome back. Great to have you. El Rushbo and the EIB Network, where we have more fun than a human being should be allowed to have because…<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know, folks. I\u2019m very lucky. I\u2019m blessed. I get to do what I was born to do. I get to do what I have wanted to do since I was 8 years old — and I\u2019m not making that up. I wanted to be on the radio from the time of first-second grade \u2019cause I hated school, and the guy on the radio every morning sounded like he was having fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>He sounded like he was looking forward to the day, when all I saw was prison. So here I am 50, 60-some-odd years later doing what I was born to do. It\u2019s great to have you with us. It wouldn\u2019t be possible without you. (interruption) What\u2019s that? (laughing) Snerdley. The name of the book is False Assurances.<\/p>\n

Snerdley keeps purposely getting… Christopher Rosow. I recommended his two books, actually, in this series. He\u2019s a first-time author. Talk about pursuing a dream. He\u2019s just wanted to be a writer his whole life and finally tried it, and he\u2019s self-publishing on Amazon and iBooks at Apple — and they\u2019re great!<\/p>\n

The first one is False Assurances, and I literally had trouble stopping reading this to go to bed last night. Anyway, it\u2019s False Assurances. (interruption) No, it\u2019s about an FBI systems analyst. You know, he\u2019s not an agent. He\u2019s overweight, just the entire opposite of what you think of when you think of FBI agent.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s thrust into the role of an agent because of an event that happens when everybody\u2019s out of the office planning for a presidential visit to Boston. He\u2019s thrust into this. It\u2019s a case that nobody thinks is gonna amount to anything anyway, so this guy is given it. His name is Ben Porter. He\u2019s given the case because everybody thinks he\u2019s a schlub and it doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

And it turns out to be a huge thing. And once this book gets going, I\u2019m telling you… I read e-books now, and there\u2019s no turning pages. But you swipe on the iPad. Now, I\u2019m swiping like crazy, pages — and Snerdley keeps goading me here with the title. False Assurances. The second book, same character, is called Threat Bias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
