Larry,
Could you be more specefic on this book? Sounds Interesting. I have been
unable to google it.
Thanks Barry
BTW, here are some comments from the review in _Publisher's Weekly_. That's
the journal for book-dealers. It usually hypes all the good points about a
book:
"The dust jacket of this first novel nearly sums it up: a storm trooper-like
American federal agent holds an automatic weapon to the throat of a
semi-naked, buxom young woman as a giant copy of the Constitution burns in
the background."
"This action-packed, overlong fiction-as-manifesto is a hotbed of pulp
melodrama, enhanced with photos of--and reproductions of ads for--guns.
(...) In a preface, Ross states that he hopes "this book will reduce the
likelihood of armed conflict in this country." It seems disingenuous. This
whole story seethes with a grudge against a government that is portrayed as
having persecuted praiseworthy citizens who merely want to exercise their
civil rights. Like the notorious and paranoid _The Turner Diaries_, this
novel may speak to readers on the fringes of American society--but it misses
the middle, both artistic and political, by a long shot."
Regarding the fringes of society, it's an RCM "Must Read," and a Golden
Cartridge Belt winner...
