"Enemies" trilogy free on Kindle in October
« on: October 14, 2013, 12:04:24 AM »

Thank you, Mr. Bracken.  I own the paperbacks, but adding them to the e-library is certainly welcome.  Allows me to make room on the shelf for other things.

Sweet! I've already got the trilogy on analog and I just finished the second book. Also apparently since I already own the first one on Kindle I can get a narrated version for only $1.99, and the narrated version will sync up to whatever page I'm on in Kindle.

How depressing is this book?  I don't know if I can stand to read this or not.

I don't think they're depressing.  Significant heroism and courage in the face of ridonkulous odds.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

The others will be released at a later date.

From the link:  Novelist Matt Bracken's is going through a fit of generosity: "'I'm going to put each of my Enemies trilogy novels into the Amazon Kindle free download deal, starting with Enemies Foreign And Domestic next Monday, October 14. Then Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista on Monday the 21st, and Foreign Enemies And Traitors on October 28th."  His novels are great. I own the Enemies series paperback but would love to have it on Kindle. Now I think that will happen for free. Winning.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I passed up an opportunity to get these free.  Bracken has to eat, like the rest of us.  A couple bucks isn't going to break me.

Good books, and a good man.  I paid the going price.

Good on ya! Matt is an alright guy (and boat builder) and deserves a little recognition (Sometimes that comes with money!).

Frequented this board for a while (partly to promote his first book, which is OK by me). Does anyone know if he's still over on THR?

Reading the third book. This is the ultimate in the archtype or stereotype of righty whitey fears. You have everything from China fearmongering to UN fearmongering to gold fanaticism to North American Union to SHTFTEOKAILAKAWANNA to race wars to Atzlan to black president to gun confiscation. It's insanely interesting, as the purest form of the stereo of "white dude's fears". It's packed to the gills with hobby horse white dude phobias.

It is, and it's also insightful from a sociological perspective on irrational fears of certain demographics.
