“Our neighbors spoke with someone down the street who’s husband was taken away. She was allowed to visit him yesterday after two days with no visitors. Apparently this guy was active in the Tea Party movement and some of those right wing websites like Beck’s and Free Republic so they seized his computer, all of his guns, his two German Shepherds and his Jeep Cherokee."

Good read. Hopefully , it will remain fiction. All chapters are available at the website, so start from the beginning, if so inclined.

I am a big fan of this series. For those new to this genre, there is an enormous universe of literature out there along these same lines.

Most are very well written, and some less so, but they are all penned by patriots who fear where we are headed.

The story is good but the author really needs an editor.

This series is a great read, as one vision of a dystopic socialist hell.

I’ve been following it. The authors extrapolations are unconfortably close to reality. People are easily controlled if you’re the gateway to their access to food, power and water. Plenty of folks ready to don the new spiffy uniforms for that same access plus a chance to deliver some beatdowns.

We just better pray that it doesn’t come to what the author envisions.

johngaltfla is a fountain of knowledge and extremely interesting data. He does a great job of breaking things down by first gathering them up.
