It's Time to Remember the
Alamo All Over Again!
In the long war against terrorism, the US Government had taken on extraordinary powers. And now that the war was won, powerful forces in the government had no intention of relinquishing those powers. As in 1860, the country was on the verge of civil war. And as in 1860, a leader arose to save the country—but it was not the President this time. Instead, the Governor of Texas was the woman of destiny. And, though the Federal Government had more guns and troops, David was about to give Goliath a run for his money. . . .
"Probably the most realistic depiction of a second American Revolution ever written." —John Ringo

DreadfulOne of many of Kratman's "so far right that even Pence can't see him" screeds, where progressive = totally evil, where his hatreds become caricatures, where the writing quality could never be enough to overcome his bias. He is Ringo, on steroids, squared and cubed, but I am guessing that the only reason Baen carries him at all is because the two of them are buddies.
If you want right wing SF that doesn't choke you on the hate and actually is readable, choose most anything by Ringo. If you think that Fox News is the word of god, and Trump is his prophet, then pick anything y Kratman.Posted on

How far are you willing to surrender your rights for 'safety'I would say this book is a nightmare waiting to happen but I feel it is an echo of what is about to happen. We are on the cusp of many rights being removed for our own safety and I suspect that bearing arms is the least of our worries.

A dreadfully written nightmare of what a left-wing world would look like, with a worldview that would be at home amongst the wackiest far right conspiracy theorists.

What happened?I read the first couple of chapters years ago before it was released. The characters were much better fleshed out. Question is who screwed it over. I am sure it was not Tom. Did you get come editor that the topic hit too close to home for them so they destroyed this. If I had been the author and they did this to me I would find a new publisher.

Absolutely absurdIf you want to read a far-right fantasy about the next American revolution - this isn't it. In order to read this you have to be so far down the pizza-gate conspiracy path that you've turned off your brain and set aside any sense of reality.
This book is so far right, and portrays progressives and liberals in such a sweeping way as to make it impossible to suspend disbelief and enjoy this. Likewise, it portrays conservatives as paragons of American virtue and, spoiler alert, manages to enshrine the anti-choice position that life begins at conception into the Constitution. That is how far right this "book" is. How Baen ever accepted it for publication is beyond me.
Skip this drivel and go read some Posleen fanfic.Posted on

disappointing idiocyThis book is based on the most insane stereotype of the progressive views for the country. the author has liberals using extreme right wing tactics to enforce what the right likes to think the left stands for. this book is certainly fiction as it is far removed from reality. reads more like a Hannity fever dream then anything believable or even remotely plausible!
