Defiance
Now, there are occasions for Walter Mitty fantasies, but Defiance is not for those occasions.
This novel is about a soviet sneak attack based upon some unknown biological or chemical agent that incapacitates the government in a single surprise attack. – The book does not get in detail as is is just a plot device to explain how communists are now running our country (it could have been an election instead).
The hero has been locked up in a reeducation camp – he is released and then gets a band of patriots together to attack the camp and release the prisoners.
I don’t want to ruin the story for you, but it does not have the typical rosy ending – If your a prepper that needs a little realism in your stories then this may just be the book for you.
I enjoyed it, it was well written, and is pretty plausible. It gave me some needed thinking points.
As I said earlier in the post, Defiance is not a feel good book, but when individuals try to take up arms against superpowers as individuals it will never end well for the lone wolf.
Not saying one man can’t make a difference, but that one man had better be prepared to be gutted by a Hind helicopter gunship.
