The beginning of the book where a lawyer is framed because he helped a radical libertarian make copies of a book is quite exciting. In the middle we learn what was in the book. There the author describes a libertarian society in which a sort of super police (although he says that they are not police since police are the enforcers of government regulations) keep totalitarianism and others who use force to curb other people's freedom in check. He also gives the rules of a perfect society, most of which any thinking person would agree with provided people were sane, thoughtful and not out to screw the other guy. Sigh. People are not like that in reality. Like all such books, toward the end it bogs down in its pomposity. The good guys are too perfect, too invincible, and hence boring. There is also a sort of militaristic thinking that pervades the book where loyalty is everything and giving ones life for "the cause" is worthwhile. Nonetheless, the book was interesting and has some important things to say about our society as it exists today.

A Sci-Fi thriller that leads the reader through a thought-provoking storyline about a political vision and libertarian society in the not too distant future. Well developed characters and a plausible plot make this an easy read in spite of the length of 869 pages. The reviewed copy was a galley proof copy and contained some errors that should be caught in the final editing.

Although the size of Fe Fi Foe Comes may appear daunting to some readers, it flows easily enough that you get caught up in the storyline from the first few pages. Somewhere around the middle of the story, the light comes on and the reader will begin to put it all together.

The dedicated SciFi fan will enjoy Fe Fi Foe Comes as will the political enthusiast. If you are looking for a quick read, this is not the book for you, but those who enjoy a Sci-Fi thriller coupled with political comment on our system's shortcomings will find it entertaining and thought provoking.
Stand To ...: A Journey to Manhood

This was a really great book,Once you pick it up you don't want to set it down. Im looking forward to reading part 2 when it comes out.

Fe Fi Foe Comes is an exceptionally written, very unique, piece of work. Political visions that I think the founding fathers of the U.S. would be proud of are combined with big brother thriller and Sci-fi creating an "edge of your seat" reading experience. You may get the urge to peek ahead to see what happens next, don't do it or you may miss vital information that plays into story. At first glance you may be discouraged by the massive size of the book but don't be intimidated; the story just can't be compressed down, all 869 pages are needed to tell the tale. I would like to make it clear that I am usually not a fan of sci-fi in the least bit yet I found myself picking it up every spare moment I could find. A must read for sci-fi fans, Alaskans, Alaskan Independence Party members, Libertarian members and all those tired of the two party status quo that continues to ravage our Nation, that's just about everyone I know. I applaud Mr. Samples' ability to present a view point while creating an exciting story that is impossible to put down. I hope to see follow up work done by this unknown author.

I've been reading science fiction for 45 years. It is rare for me to find a new author whom I like so much! Lots of spelling errors and run on sentences, but you soon ignore them because the story is so good. Robert Heinlein type writing! Buy this book!

A good friend gave me this book awhile back and I read it over a month or so. I really loved the love stories and the womens are incredible and the mens too! I am reading it again now. If only there was a French translation :-( but the english is very good too. More please, it ends too soon.

I really enjoyed this book. I am really into the Runic Nordic mythology type stuff and mingled with Sci Fi makes for an excellent read. I would love to see this sort of book actually come true
