Matt Bracken's Enemies Trilogy Free on Kindle Through Wednesday



The popular "Enemies" trilogy is available on Kindle here.

The Matt Bracken trilogy are action adventure novels set in a dystopic future where the second amendment has been effectively eliminated in the United States.   I found them hard to put down.   Best to start reading on a Friday night.

They are available free through Wednesday, 16 July.   If you go to the link, you will see the Kindle edition listed as 0.00 to buy.

They are well worth a read.  Often, his books seem to be nearly prophetic.   Many of today's events were foreshadowed in the novels.

Here is my review of Enemies Foreign and Domestic, written in September of 2003:
I received my copy of Enemies Foreign And Domestic on Tuesday evening last week. By Thursday morning, I had devoured the 568 pages. This book was eagerly awaited, as it belongs to that small but growing genre, the dystopic future brought about by civil war over the Constitution of the United States, triggered by ruthless suppression of the 2nd amendment.

Only three books of this genre have received prominence. They are: The Turner Diaries, a racist, hate filled account where the "heroes" are willing to kill off 75% of the people on earth in order to gain political power; Unintended Consequences, a well written, racy, techno-thriller in the Tom Clancy style that I heartily recommend, and Enemies Foreign and Domestic, or EFAD, as I will refer to it in the rest of this review.

EFAD refers to part of the oath that all U.S. government officials and military personnel take upon the assumption of their duties to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. A basic premise of the book is that there still are men and women who actually have honor and integrity, who believe these words when they speak them, and who actively work to follow their oath.

EFAD is very well written, well plotted, and has good character development. I felt as if I could name friends and enemies who could have been the characters in the book. This book grabs you. The major premises are easily believable. Matthew Bracken knows his subject, and he uses credible human faults and errors to keep the plot plausible. A major strength is that there are no supermen or superwomen in this book. Matthew teaches us subtly by the things that are not mentioned. An astute reader will realize early on that we are at a crucial cross roads. We can move backward, keep the Assault Weapons ban, enlarge it, outlaw private sales of weapons via the "gun show loophole" and continue the march toward the chilling dystopia that the author so clearly sees. Or we can move forward, sunset the Assault Weapon ban in September of 2004, and continue to move forward to a renewed era of Constitutional freedom in America.

Read this book. Pass it on to friends. Distribute it at gun shows. Buy lots of copies. I will. 
 I have done those things over the last 10 years.  Now you can get the whole trilogy for free on Kindle.

Again, here is the link to Amazon where you can get the Kindle editions for free.
