In Resurrection of Liberty Daniel Foster discovers a family secret that is so shocking, it will affect the future of the entire galaxy. While on an innocent road trip with his two best friends, his grandfather’s old car, almost having a mind of its own, whisks the trio out of the confines of their home planet to a cloaked starship that has remained hidden behind the moon for over fifty years. In trying to return home the three friends plunge deeper into space ultimately meeting the race that had sent his grandfather to Earth on a critical mission a generation before. Yet, to their dismay, they learn that by awakening the old ship they have hastened the peril of their own home. Now, far away from his family, Daniel must accept his destiny and dig deep inside himself to muster the confidence needed to rally his new alien friends to help save Earth—and ultimately the galaxy.

An original, deftly written, and thoroughly entertaining novel of action and adventure,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resurrection of Liberty (Hardcover)
Freedom has been leached from the galaxy and replaced with slavery, oppression, and destruction. All the known worlds have been overrun by the Gaarich. This is the setting for the riveting science fiction adventure novel Resurrection Of Liberty by Michael L. Wentz. Daniel Foster is a young man who awakens his grandfather's old ship as the Gaarich turn their sights toward Earth. Daniel has no intention of being a hero. But fate has other plans for him as the destiny of Earth and the liberation of a galaxy hangs in the balance of his decisions. Resurrection Of Liberty is an original, deftly written, and thoroughly entertaining novel of action and adventure which can be enthusiastically recommended for science fiction fans.

Good, Quick Read, Great for Young Readers, or 72 Year Olds,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Resurrection of Liberty (Kindle Edition)
I started to put this book down several times, but, in the end, could not. I kept thinking that if I were 12 or even 22 I would really like this book, but at 72 I could not really identify with it. The problem was that it was so well written, with just enough suspense hanging at the end of every chapter, that I kept sneaking back to find out "what happens next." That should tell you that even age prejudice, like mine, should not keep you from reading this page turner. The author clearly knows how to write and how to say just enough to keep you wanting to read more. The dialogue is about what you would expect when it is mostly between 16 year olds. But it is well written and you do get enough from it and the little hints thrown in throughout the book to feel you understand the personalities of the main characters, and can empathize with them. The premise and the plot are more fantasy than science fiction, and the good guys go to the very end without so much as a scratch, and then only some superficial, if bloody, side effects from conquering the scourge of the galaxy. The science is more assumed than explained, and really does not drive the story. Thus it is more like Star Wars than like a modern uber-pseudo-scientific si-fi novel. That can be disappointing or refreshing. I choose the latter. Sometimes I like the story to drive the book rather than the technology. Now it gives away no secrets to say that the good guys win and that some of the scenes are thus pure fantasy and highly improbable, to say the least. That, notwithstanding, if you like your sci-fi light, if you would like now and then to read something that is just fun and would like to not spend too much time being a critic, I think you will like this book. I did.

When's the movie coming out?,
By Wade B. "MinnesotaWhite" (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resurrection of Liberty (Hardcover)
You know when you read a book and it does a great job of painting pictures in your head of what is going on? This is one of those books where you can immerse yourself in the story, and see, feel, hear, all the things going on.
Great read, interesting story, ended up reading it fast because I picked it up every free moment I had. Good story for all ages in my humble opinion.
