Enemies Foreign and Domestic

Has anybody read the “Enemies Foreign and Domestic” series by Matthew Bracken? Ive been spending alot of time on ship lately, most of which is in a rack in the berthing, which means Im either watching movies or reading my Kindle. I downloaded this series from Amazon after hearing they were like Rawles’ Patriots, just not written like a 6 year old and full of plot holes. The cover had me worried as they looked like racist right wing propaganda, but the books have turned out to be nothing of the sort.

Im about half way through the first and Im really enjoying the plot (turn a blind eye to the authors inability to form exposition). He’s not the best writer, but the current events of today (project gunrunner, Patriot Act, strict gun control, etc) all coincide with the plot in an eerie way. If you cant stand the idea of loosing any more freedoms, I highly recommend you check this series out.

(My current reading last has made me paranoid apparently: 1984, Enemies Foreign and Domestic, Animal Farm, Patriots, Brave New World, etc. Ive gotta be on some watch list by now haha)

Google Federal fushion efforts. It’s only a matter of time before our likes our routed and sent off to “re-eduation” camps. Your reading habits mirror mine and titles like those are mentioned in .gov terrorists handouts.

Read it a few years ago, very entertaining.

You should throw in Unintended Consequences for good measure to that list. :wink:

If La Raza and Aztlan makes you go ‘hmmmm’ . . . wait till you get to the 2nd book in the series. Then read the 3rd book, for Blue Helmet on ouor land paranoia.
If you want to get into full-blown paranoia mode, read “Full Black” from Brad Thor. It will make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end!!!
After a dose of the above, you will be searching for the tin-foil!!!

Just read Full Black. Sounds spot on with what’s happening in the world today.

You are the third person I have heard suggest this book in the last week. I may need to check it out. Is it fiction or non?

Overton Window …

Fiction. Brad Thor is a great author. Some gratuitous gun porn in his books as well. :slight_smile:

Expect to pay $100-200 for a copy these days.

I remember when I did the DSA FAL group buy on arfcom, I bought about 20 copies for $10 each and threw them in as freebies.

So the recommended reading that has been thrown out so far is:

Full Black by Brad Thor
The Overton Window by Glenn Beck
Unintended Consequences by John Ross (I hear there is a free PDF out there…let me see if I can find it)

WHAT!? I gave away a copy to a friend as a gift and repurchased it a few years ago for far less. Wow, I just looked and found the copies range from 82 to 249.50, crazy

That was an excellent series- I read all 3 over vacation.
I think the writing improves a bit after the first book. Either that, or by that point I had the tinfoil jammed over my ears so tightly it didn’t matter.:laugh:
Either way, the way the events protrayed are such that you can just see them all happening today far to easily.
I could say something else, but as it may be construed the wrong way… probably not recommended sharing material for folks not on the same page here.

Glad I still have my copy and in good condition. :smiley: Definitely will check out the others mentioned by Hop and GS.

Just be aware that Full Black is part of a series of books by Thor, and if you haven’t read the previous novels, the story line may not make 100% sense. :big_boss:

Thanks for the heads up!

I did a quick search on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Brad-Thor/e/B001IO9TO0/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1314389388&sr=1-1

Are these 12 all of them? What order do they go in?
They mentioned the first few in order on the page there (The Lions of Lucerne, Path of the Assassin, State of the Union, and Blowback), but after that?
