Shane Ryan is a wrong guy. Wrong race. Wrong gender. Wrong class. Wrong side of the tracks. Wrong attitude. America in the near future is a cold, cruel place, especially in the hardscrabble rural Pacific Northwest. There's war in the Middle East, a revived draft, mass unemployment, an economy permanently on the skids, greed and corruption, incompetence and stupidity at the top. Poor blue-collar kids from the trailer park are last in line for everything. America has screwed Shane Ryan, and he returns the favor. He joins the Northwest Volunteer Army, a terrorist organization dedicated to overthrowing the United States government and establishing an independent nation. America is about to learn the hard way that what goes around, comes around.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat from cover to cover! I don't read a lot of fiction, but was curious about this one because it's set in the Pacific Northwest where I live. It's not for the faint of heart and is not politically correct, but if you can handle that, it is very exciting. It made my jaw drop.

Put your politics aside....
This is a great book - very exciting, the characters are real - true to life....
The author Covington has a very good sense of what is happening in America and what could happen.
M'thinks some of those White boys from the wrong side of the tracks might be up to something... something great.

This is one of a quartet by Harold Covington on the creation of an all white republic in the Northwest of the present United States sometime in the near future. The protagonist is a man named Shane Ryan who, as a very old veteran, is being interviewed about his experiences during the war. Covington is able to create a believable character and an exciting story line. The most enjoyable part is Ryan's part in the assassination of a particularly evil Supreme Court Justice named Samuel Rothstein. However, this type of war is usually a nasty experience for most people involved and Ryan suffers as much as any. What this and Covington's other novels show is that the future is not written in stone. Although the enemies of the white race in North America may now seem to hold all the cards, much can yet happen before their victory is assured.
