Molon Labe! [Paperback]

Boston T. Party (Author), Kenneth W. Royce (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 30, 2004

After a decade of retaking their stolen freedoms, the people of Wyoming (many of them newcomers) are forced to finally confront their jealous masters in the U.S. Government. Can a lone, courageous state successfully resist federal tyranny, or has the Bill of Rights been reduced to a myth? Can an allegedly free people act free, or is our liberty just a 4th of July farce?
These issues weigh heavily on the shoulders of Governor James Wayne Preston, a decorated Desert Storm Marine helo pilot. Elected in 2014 on the Laissez-Faire Party ticket, he enjoys nearly full support of the legislature to return Wyoming to a long-lost era of liberty. But how far can he and the people of his state go before Washington, D.C. feels compelled to act? Will Wyoming's free and independent course reach actual secession? Will President Melvin Connor suppress the maverick Western state with federal troops? Will anybody come to Wyoming's aid?
Molon Labe! is a fictional account of a real-world blueprint for a free state initiative focused on Wyoming. If enough freedom-loving individuals will relocate there under a useful pattern, they can "liberate" the Cowboy State on many levels. In Wyoming we could truly enjoy our rights of gun ownership, privacy, schooling, health and diet, unrestricted travel, and property. Boston shows us how it actually can be done!

Editorial Reviews

Review

Always bright and innovative, Boston has outdone himself in his new novel. Cleverly crafted, Molon Labe! weaves a story that is well done and may evolve from a timely tome into reality sometime in our future. I suggest you buy the novel from Boston T. Party. --Clint Smith, Director, Thunder Ranch, Inc.

More About the Author

Kenneth W. Royce is the author of the renowned Boston T. Party books, such as Boston's Gun Bible. A lifelong shooter and hunter, Royce shows the American deer and elk hunter what it takes to plan, book, and enjoy their first African safari. Royce's experience there so far is: 3 countries, 4 safaris (one a 2x1) amongst 110 days in the field, 4 four rifles/calibers, and 40 animals collected (a third of which were stalked to within 50yds). "Hunting is, for me, a biological, emotional, and spiritual imperative. I truly do not have a choice in the matter--nor would I ever want one."

What would happen if a bunch of freedom loving Americans concentrated in Wyoming, and transformed the state political system to favor liberty? Well, an intriguing and suspenseful story for one thing! Hint, the federal government doesn't take kindly to a state government respecting and enforcing the entire Bill of Rights. Halfway between a political/espionage thriller, and a historical novel with documentation, 'Molon Labe' is a great read. If you think liberty is in precious short supply in this great land of ours, you'll be cheering.

This review is from: Molon Labe! (Paperback)

Having read most of Boston's other work I was more than a little skeptical when I first heard about his foray into fiction. Boy was I wrong. It was a great read and once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Molon Labe is full of the same insight and humor that you've come to expect from his other works. So YES!, Boston CAN write fiction! (Leaving the only question "When's the sequel?". I can't wait to catch up on the continuing adventures of "the panther").

4.0 out of 5 stars The First "Free State Project" Novel, September 14, 2004

By

This review is from: Molon Labe! (Paperback)

Boston T. Party, a notable author of well-respected works on firearms and the Constitution, creates his first work of fiction with the novel Molon Labe! While it's certainly not formatted as a conventional novel, Molon Labe! is a worthy addition to any freedom-lovers book shelf. Set in the coming decades, it's a chronicle of the "Wyoming Free State Project," where thousands of liberty-seekers migrate to that state to control the government and turn it into a bastion of freedom. The novel is interspersed with commentaries and "interview" format chapters, which sometimes overshadow the narrative. Still, this is the first of what is bound to be a new genre of libertarian literature, and will be much referenced in the future as such scenarios become increasingly likely.
