Late in the 21st century, the United Continental States of America is running smoothly. Unemployment has been eradicated, terrorism is no more, and any internal dissent diminishes by the day. Most give credit to President Meyers, and many can no longer remember the last election, but it is a small price to pay to keep the country safe from the terrorist group Hariq Jihad.

Things aren't as they seem, however, as Gunnery Sergeant Anthony Jackson is conscripted into the personal security detail of President Meyers. While the only thing he places above his country is his family, he begins to feel that not everyone is content with how things are. Even more, he begins to fear for his oldest daughter's life as she begins to question the eroding personal freedoms and democratic rights. Considering that entire families have disappeared over the slightest infraction, one cannot be too careful.

Torn between liberty and safety, family and country, can Jackson balance his loyalties, or will he be lead to an explosive collision with the system he has dedicated his life to serving? In this explosive and highly acclaimed dystopian political thriller novel, the world you live in will never look the same again!

Book forecasts a very realistic future

This was a long read as it's a three book set. I really enjoyed how the story evolved across each book. What is most striking is that while fiction, the book forecasts a very realistic future if current events continue to progress in their current form.

The one thing I found odd is that while story is set in the 2080's, the implications of what the impacts of technology would be like in that era were totally absent in the story. This wasn't a detractor for me as I enjoyed the story as if it were set in current times.

The quote used throughout the book is timely and most appropriate. Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Not realistic at all

Good story, but Jackson would have been toast if Meyers knew where he was. He obviously did based on calling him on cell phones. Meyers would have cleared the ground for hundreds of yards around him.

A fiction that parallels possibility.

A tale of knife edge possibilities to real to face. The truth of this is seem in history.
