Fall of Freedom [Paperback]

D. Michael Phillips (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1999

Set in the near future, this political satire takes the reader from a Santa Fe terrorized by ruthless guerillas, to a former President exiled in the Ozarks, to a Washington D.C. ruled by a sinister power-hungry President. In the southern Rockies a self-styled militia leader broadcasts nightly radio messages of hope for an America as it used to be, while the forces in the White House spin out plans for an America overtaken by Tyranny. A young sniper, sent to eliminate the guerilla leader, finds himself questioning the very government which sent him on his mission.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A thrilling, anarchic, libertinistic, apocalyptical, satirical tale by a skillful dialoguer. We should welcome more wit from Mr. Phillip if, that is, he doesn't change his unique outlook on life." -- Charles Bennett, Palace of the Governors, Santa Fe, New Mexico

3.0 out of 5 stars A good read, but hard to believe., January 4, 2003

This review is from: Fall of Freedom (Paperback)

I like the theme of this book, but the author relies on too many cliches to excite the readers interest. The story is basically evil and greedy politicians conspire with the liberal anti-gun media elite to do away with the constitution and bill of rights. Add into the mix the Fidelistas (Mexican invading army) and the Patriots (a group of, well, patriotic Americans wanting to fight the evil government and bring back America's greatness) And you have all the elements fo a great story. But, this particular story doesn't go anywhere, and the book ends without any resolution. I suppose that is left up to the imagination of the reader. Maybe the author intends to write a sequel? If so, I would buy it.

A book with a similar theme, but that is carried out with a lot more convincing detail is "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross. I highly recommend Unintended Consequences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Showing what we should know..., March 15, 2000

This review is from: Fall of Freedom (Paperback)

This book is perfect in describing what is happening and what would happen if we keep the same corrupt administration we have now! Proving that the government should be as limited as possible, it fueled myself and my political club members at college to work the polls hard for good candidates. It is an easy to follow read and keeps you wondering what the last three pages of the book holds!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book left me wanting more...couldn't put it down!, April 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fall of Freedom (Paperback)

It doesn't take much more than a love of country, a dislike of being lied to and knowing that we're being taken for granted to want to read this book. Set largely in the Southwest, it provides the perfect blend of biting political humor, wit, patriotism and fast paced action that leaves you wanting more. This is definitely a "can't put it down" book.
