Re-Test by Mark Phillips
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In Re-Test, a single gunman invades a college classroom on a Saturday and takes a group of students retaking an exam hostage after killing their professor. The gunman claims to be from the year 2057 and has come back in time to the present in hopes of preventing an event that will trigger the downfall of the Michigan government and eventually the entire US political system. I won't provide any spoilers as to whether the gunman is delusional or is telling the truth, but I want to stress the fact that this book in no way makes light of or promotes classroom violence or any form of mass homicide for that matter. "Re-test" is well written, suspenseful, claustrophobic with an ending that you will not see coming. Mark Phillips was born in Southfield, MI and now resides in Livonia, MI. That means he's probably all "Go Blue" and stuff, but I won't deduct a star for that. Trojans. baby!
