Thriller Political
The United States is attacked by terrorist in four separate
incidents. Over a hundred and forty people are killed. So when
the President declares Martial Law and suspends Habeas Corpus
CIA Director Jake Grafton refuses to go along with him. Jake
suspects the President has more nefarious plans than just
protecting the American people. He believes the President is
planning to become a dictator and fundamentally change
America to fit his own personal agenda. Jake is proved correct as he and others who disagree with the
President are placed in detention camps. Reporters are
arrested on air, government officials disappear and finally
when the President suspends the second amendment Texas votes
to succeed. Now the President is truly upset and orders an
attack on Texas. A civil war appears to be on the horizon. LIBERTY'S LAST STAND is an excellent book. After reading the
first chapter I was calling everyone I know and telling them
to get the book. I wasn't disappointed either. Even though
Jake Grafton is Stephen Coonts main character, I feel like
the star of this book was the American people. The
determination not to
be ruled by a tyrant and their strength under fire appeared to
be accurate to me. The true American heart. I could see things
going the way described if any President behaved as the one in
the book. Action, is an understatement and the calculations by the
leaders on both sides in LIBERTY'S LAST STAND make for an
great read. You're not going to want to put this book down so
schedule some time to read it. Stephen Coonts paints the
picture of an America that will never be the same and neither
will you.
