Mission: Sabotage a Planet, Survival Not Guaranteed . . .
Kenneth Chinran was a disaffected youth who joined the military and was recruited for an elite deep cover unit, surviving training and exercises so tough that several of the recruits did not survive. At the peak of his career, he was sent by his star nation to infiltrate a fascistic, militaristic planet--Earth.
He lived in deep cover for years, marrying and having a daughter. Then the Earth forces attacked his home system, and he and his team came out of hiding, attacking and destroying the infrastructure of the crowded planet, disabling transportation and communications and creating terror in city after city.
As a result of his attacks, billions died for lack of the food, water and power which the ravaged system could no longer supply. His sabotage was successful, but the deaths of so many weighed heavily on his mind, making him wonder if he was still sane. Then the secret police discovered his identity. With his daughter, the only thing in his life that had so far kept him human, he was on the run, while the resources of a planetwide police state were tracking him down. He could see no way to escape from the planet, no way to keep hiding, and if he and his daughter were caught, death was the very least that they could expect.
But Chinran is a warrior in his soul, and even if he loses this last battle, he won't go down without a fight that his pursuers--the ones who survive--will never forget.

Product ReviewThis book is a must read for all. When is war terrorism and when is terrorism war? If your protecting your liberty, its war. If your agenda is to control others with fear and oppression, its terrorism. The only war terrorists respect is its own methods.

Product ReviewI was uncomfortable with the apparent glorification of terrorism but his exposure of the hypocrisy of U.N. and other "humanitarian" backed interventions is prophetic in this era of creeping world totalitarianism. I was less uncomfortable after reading Freehold because it added more background and context to this book. It is a good stand alone book but as I mentioned as part of the series even better. I also enjoyed his vision of what an ideal libertarian state would look like.

Product ReviewIt certainly will make you think about the ethics involved in a war and the ethics of targeting those who support a war ("innocent citizens"), as well.
Do read Freehold first, as it'll get you into the culture and you'll have a greater understanding of what is really at issue (whether or not you agree with the way their society is structured). It's in the "Free Library," so there's no reason to skip it.Posted on

Product ReviewI read through this book, hit the middle and kept going, hoping that there would be something that redeems the actions of the 'hero'.
There never was.
The author writes well, but his glorification of terrorism (because that's what it is when you kill millions of non-combatants) completely killed the book for me.Posted on

Product ReviewI loved this!
And how interesting to read a story narrated by a character that is both hero and anti-hero, the latter more in his own eyes than those of the reader.
