The Liberal Masters [Paperback]

David L. Hale (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2002

New from the "wicked" pen of David Hale!

Many light years removed from Earth, there existed a mysterious planet called Tyrannia. The rulers of Tyrannia - or Tyrants - rode herd over their slave population with self-righteous brutality. Due to a shortage of slaves, and other problems, the rulers of Tyrannia began to covet the subjugation of the United States - a country in the northeast quadrant of the Earth. The United States was a country founded and based upon freedom - a concept that was anathema to the Tyrants.

The Tyrants' plan was to join and mate with the liberal Democrats of America and create a race of "super liberals" - beings who would be completely impervious to reason and common sense ... who would obediently set about to quash the Americans' pipe dreams of liberty and enslave the population. In lieu of liberty, the aliens would offer the Americans ... security ... the security of slavery. What they didn't count on was that there would be a determined conservative opposition to their plans, in the person of two ordinary heroes - David Holt and Becky Barnes. Theirs is a story of love, courage and patriotism in the face of savage oppression..

The Liberal Masters is a hilarious - yet edifying - satire of contemporary, political life.

From the Author

A Scientific Breakthrough

There are many mysteries in life, such as... Who created the pyramids? Who erected Stonehenge? and - Does Bigfoot really exist? But perhaps the biggest unanswered question of all is... Where do Liberals come from? Through assiduous research, I have finally come up with the answer to this question that has vexed generations of free Americans. Now, it is my pleasure to share the answer with the world in the form of The Liberal Masters.

The world MUST be warned that - HORRORS, YES! - there ARE aliens among us! They are coming for your children! They are coming for your souls! They are coming for your FREEDOM! They are Liberal Masters.

THEY MUST BE STOPPED! But you can't do it with facts or reason. Liberals don't respond to such trivialities. You can't do it with force or suasion. They own the government and the media. There is only one way to stop the liberal oppressor ... through HUMOR. Get the world to laughing at them. Some liberals will see the light of reason and Join our side. Others, we would invite to relocate to a nice, totalitarian country that would be more compatible with their statist views.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sci-fi satire for die-hard conservatives, January 22, 2003

By 

Phil Benoit (Springfield, Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Liberal Masters (Paperback)

If you enjoyed "2084: The Year of the Liberal" by New England author/humorist David L. Hale, then you're in for another hilarious treat with "The Liberal Masters."
On the surface, "The Liberal Masters" is a variation on such science-fiction fare as "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "Independence Day." However, Mr. Hale's latest novel is closer to Jonathan Swift than Robert Heinlein, as his politically conservative wit and insight skewers liberal-minded philosophies and its present-day patron saints. He successfully combines the trappings of sci-fi potboilers with melodramatic farce, thereby creating a work of fiction that will stay in your memory for a long, long time. If you can imagine "Star Trek" a la The Marx Brothers, then you'll have a good idea of what to expect in "The Liberal Masters."
Furthermore, Mr. Hale's writing is, at times, unabashedly and endearingly sentimental. Throughout "The Liberal Masters," he expresses a genuine affection for the pre-"politically correct" United States, and this old-fashioned stance perfectly complements his no-holds-barred approach to satire.

5.0 out of 5 stars The flaws of some contemporary liberal viewpoints, July 18, 2003

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Liberal Masters (Paperback)

David L. Hale's The Liberal Masters is a political satire cloaked and colored in the imaginative trappings of adroitly written science fiction. When planet Tyrannia, home to the "superior" Liberal Tyrants, invades and enslaves America, only two people are left standing in their way. Exposing the flaws of some contemporary liberal viewpoints and perspectives, The Liberal Masters a "socially relevant" science fiction adventure in the tradition H.G. Wells. The Liberal Masters makes for a wry and intriguing, tongue-in-cheek read.

5.0 out of 5 stars EVEN BETTER THAN THE LAST!, November 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Liberal Masters (Paperback)

This is the second book by this author I've read and this one is even better than his last (2084: The Year of the Liberal) which was a great book in its own right.
David Hale obviously has fun writing his books and I enjoy reading them. Though he goes for the jugular, he does it with humor--and style. Bravo.
