Overview

The Dividing Line is a contemporary thriller based on a subversive government faction that is introducing diseases into society as a form of population control. The story follows Canton Giles, a 23-year-old Senator's assistant on Capitol Hill. Senator Kelly is Canton's boss as well as a father figure, since his own father passed away when he was eight. Canton is smart, but he's immature, and his interests focus on partying and sleeping more than getting ahead at work - or in life.

Overview

The Dividing Line is a contemporary thriller based on a subversive government faction that is introducing diseases into society as a form of population control. The story follows Canton Giles, a 23-year-old Senator's assistant on Capitol Hill. Senator Kelly is Canton's boss as well as a father figure, since his own father passed away when he was eight. Canton is smart, but he's immature, and his interests focus on partying and sleeping more than getting ahead at work - or in life. It is not until he starts having disturbing, seizure-like episodes and receiving cryptic messages from strangers that he takes an active role in understanding what is happening to him.

Canton slowly comes to realize that he has been monitored by a secret underground "militia" since his father died mysteriously of an unidentifiable blood disorder fifteen years ago. It just so happens that the man in charge of this militia, General William Vaughn, was also Canton's father's best friend in the service, and the man behind the new spread of disease in the United States is Canton's boss and guardian, Senator Tom Kelly. Through their rigorous monitoring, the militia discovers that a diary lost in 1917 may still exist - and if so, it holds the proof of the faction's plans to buy infected blood samples from other countries and introduce them into the poor, immigrant populations, and evidence of early successes doing such. In the militia's attempt to uncover the diary, they involuntarily embroil Canton in a new, experimental project, Operation Green Wave.

But sometimes what looks like an explanation turns out to be another conspiratorial cover up. With time running out, and the next deadly disease (The Bird Flu: H5N1V) en route to the United States, it is up to Canton to identify his allies and his enemies, and to find the black diary from 1917 that holds the answer to how and why his father really died. It will uncover the government's attempt to set a "Dividing Line" between those who shall live and those who shall die.

    Exciting and cool book!

    It is crazy how with all of today's medical technology and research done, there are still so many unknown causes to illness! Reading this book really scared me into thinking that maybe the author knows something we don't know. Super page turner. I loved it.

    Like a punch in the gut !

    I don't usually take the time to write these - but a friend of mine recommended
    The Dividing Line to me, and after I read it, I had to do this. I have three
    kids and don't have much time to read, but this book freaked me out. It kind of
    seems real. It was published in 2005, but Sayegh seems to have psychic ability.
    It all seems to be coming true. Crazy!

    A nightmare of epic proportions!

    This was a real sleeper, the author was all over the map, not focused on any one point of view, the main character was immature & ridiculous. Is it safe to assume the pic on the cover is the author who is living vicariously through the main character?????

    Thrilling a real page turner

    The Dividing Line puts you in a behind the scenes world of government and conspiracy. I felt like I knew the hero, Canton, personally. An incredible page turner keeps you glued. Robert Sayegh writes about a world that seems to be eerily coming true. Can't wait for more books.

    Good fast paced read

    Robert Seyegh creates a blend of a government cospiracy thriller with a touch of SciFi. The story and characters are engaging. It kept my interest throughout and ties everything together at the end.

    A Fascinating and Absorbing Story for X-File fans, Puzzle lovers or Anyone Who Appreciates a Great Thriller

    The Dividing Line takes off down a road that is as eye-opening as it is page-turning. You simply cannot put this book down. The more I read, the more I had to read. I couldn't get enough of it. Thank You, Robert Sayegh.......I'm a fan.

    Matrix meets Constant Gardner

    I found the book amazing. First of all, the beginning segment had me in tears. I could not stop reading. I missed my stop on the train. He had me captivated. I can't wait for book #2.

    This book is a must read! It is hard to hold my attention, but this book had me glued to my bed for many sleepless nights. There was an unexpected twist on almost every page. I can not wait for the next Sayegh novel, Dizzy.

    Suspenceful and Fascinating

    The best way to describe my response to reading The Diving Line is to say that I didn't want it to end. Robert Sayegh does a fabulous job of drawing real characters and a captivating plot line that spans decades of American history and governmental cover-ups, while at the same time delving into the personal life of the main character, Canton Giles. The book is packed with action, plot turns, and surprises you don't see coming. It's a creative and insightful story that includes conspiracy, a love story, and makes you question the fine line between what is 'right' and what is 'wrong.' Read this book, I couldn't put it down.

    Captive and Imaginative

    Sayegh's novel is a thrilling page-turner that will take you on several twists and turns. It intricately weaves stories of love, family, friendship, betrayal, history, and government conspiracy into a cohesive novel. Sayegh compels you into the life of Canton so that you experience Canton's emotions during his journey. My only criticism is that the ending begs for a sequel - I hope I don't have to wait too long.
