Forty Acres: A Thriller
"A thriller in a class by itself--brilliant and scary!" --Terry McMillan Read the page-turning, provocative thriller that will forever change the way you think about slavery and its legacy in today's America. Martin Grey, a smart, talented black lawyer working out of a storefront in Queens, becomes friendly with a group of some of the most powerful, wealthy, and esteemed black men in America. He's dazzled by what they've accomplished, and they seem to think he has the potential to be as successful as they are. They invite him for a weekend away from it all--no wives, no cell phones, no talk of business. But far from home and cut off from everyone he loves, he discovers a disturbing secret that challenges some of his deepest convictions... Martin finds out that his glittering new friends are part of a secret society dedicated to the preservation of the institution of slavery--but this time around, the black men are called "Master." Joining them seems to guarantee a future without limits; rebuking them almost certainly guarantees his death. Trapped inside a picture-perfect, make-believe world that is home to a frightening reality, Martin must find a way out that will allow him to stay alive without becoming the very thing he hates. A novel of rage and compassion, good and evil, trust and betrayal, Forty Acres is the thought-provoking story of one man's desperate attempt to escape the clutches of a terrifying new moral order.

I'm keeping this short y'all because I'm still trying to decide how I feel about all this. How i would react in the situation. What I would do with every situation this man went through... I'm also...
Look I'm shook and I'm even more shook at my head. I can't even review right cause. Woo chile. IYKYK and if you know how would you react initially and progressively?
I feel like that quote encompasses the entire vibe of the book. It's being compared to books like The Firm. If blend it with a little Get Out movie and that's a nail on the head. Just go pick the book up if you've read it tell me or tag me in what you thought. If you haven't. Do it.
