Book Description

After a clients suicide and an unprecedented IRS attack on his tax practice, Certified Public Accountant Karl Mendel plans what he hopes will be the final solution to an income tax system out of control. Assisted by close friends and professional associates, Mendel uses a personal childhood tragedy and his belief in American freedom to fuel his war on what he refers to as the American KGB. With flying skills honed as a Marine pilot in the Vietnam War and lately practiced as a Marine reserve pilot, Mendel takes to the air in his planned assault on the U.S. income tax system. Help from Beatrice Gimble, a former IRS programmer and current CPA partner of his best friend, Terry Garcia, leads Karl inside the main computer facility run by the IRS. Complexity is added as Karl is unexpectedly drawn back into a relationship with Lidia, his former wife. Unaware that he is being watched by powers beyond the IRS, his forced dealings with a Russian mole leads Karl and his partners into dangers they had not considered and threatens the woman he loves more than life itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Little Rebellion SOARS!, June 13, 2000

This review is from: A Little Rebellion: April 15th Surprise (Paperback)

Rod Sexton's book, A Little Rebellion, is just awesome! The style in which Mr. Sexton writes is so vivid I can imagine every scene. He seems to write with such knowledge on the subject you believe this is really happening and begin to cheer on the main character! GO MENDEL! Although who wouldn't cheer anyone on that wanted to take on our IRS system? Mendel is a great character as well as his two friends. And that ex-wife of his, Lidia, well-you just have to cheer for her too. Of course there is the "good" vs. "evil" plot, but there are so many "evil" characters it keeps you in suspense. A great book! A great title! A GREAT author --- I can't wait for the sequel!
