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

Product ReviewA great read! Since I am from Texas, the braggadocio(sp?) works for me. It could happen this way. I see us headed down this road. Right now the most militant religion (besides Islam) IS the Global Warming Bunch. You are counted a heretic if you wonder out loud about their crackpot psuedo science.

Product ReviewWhat a read. If you haven't read it yet, put down your $4 and get it.
Those with far, far left political sympathies will not like it one bit, but if you have any moderate, libertarian, or conservative traits, you will.
Basically you have a very realistic story of what could happen if modern liberalism is allowed to succeed.Posted on

Product ReviewI am a avid "alternate history" reader. As part of the genre, it is great reading for those who enjoy it. I would also like to point out that to automatically equare the book to the actual political oriention of the author without personal knowldege of said political affiliation, is in my opinion extremely foolish. The book is extremely well written, and entertaining. (Which is what books should be.) The Political Correctness that permiates our society at this time shoud not extend to our reading material. Then it becomes censorship!

Product ReviewRead the magnifcent stuggle of the underdog, God-fearing Christians triumph over the Evil authoritarian, federalist Liberal atheists! Who kill children and crush the poor working man under their jackboots, whilst robbing them of their hard earned cash!
Ick. It's hard to maintain suspension of disbelief in front of such assaults as EPA stormtroopers, ruthless demolition of the peacible demonstrations, as well as a blatent re-creation of the Sturmshaffel; black uniforms, president's private army status, suggestive initials and all.
But enough about the plot and the strawman-like enemy, now to the writing. While it is all technically correct, the pacing and characterisation are off. The flow is disjointed at times, with too many individual points of view being shown. The characters can be little more than archtypical, particularly amongst the 'Democrats', being little more than puppets, spouting the author's message.
All in all, a book I would not recommend, unless you like books for radical republican.Posted on

Product ReviewI have read about 4 previous 'Texas Secedes' novels. The writing is okay and the book is definitely a light read. The book assumes that everything that has ever been said about Hillary Clinton and the recent Democratic Party are the tip of the iceberg. On the other hand, people forget that National Socialist Workers People's Party was a radical liberal extremist group, NOT a bunch of conservatives.

Product ReviewI picked up the book on a whim, not actually planning on reading it... a day later, I had finished one of the more interesting 'what if' books about civil war and what might or could cause it. It has a lot of good thought points about the power of government and what should or should not happen. I would recomend this to anyone interested in politics or civil wars. It makes you think.

Product ReviewThe book was designed to tickle the pleasure center of radical republicans and NRA members by writing down everything bad the author could invent about democrats (kill babies! kidnap women! EPA shock troops! lesbian president!) and sprinkling it with random combat scenes. Fairly painful to read.
Oh, and his other Baen book is about liberals selling out to man-eating aliens, and WWII Nazi warriors saving the day. No kidding.Posted on
