It hadn't seemed possible that a president whose policies had impoverished millions could be reelected. It was the waning years of the American empire and the liberties represented in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were a fading memory. The government monitored every aspect of American life, and the drones buzzing overhead served as a constant reminder, but it was the governments reckless spending that brought the nation to its knees. Now, the economy is in ruin, and the president's European style welfare state stands at the brink of collapse. The United States is unable to repay its debts. China has come seeking payment in real assets, and they mean business. Chaos reigns; power has been cut; select cities have been decimated by nuclear bombs; and burned out houses occupy neighborhoods like rotting teeth in the mouth of a crack addict. What was new is now old and what was old is now new again. Cliffson Lang's son attempts to escape the fires and mobs overrunning the city of Seattle. When Cliffson is called away to help, his other son is kidnapped by occupying forces and placed in a work camp. Truth's Blood is the Lang family's story of survival at a time when government dependency must be replaced by self-reliance. As the United States experiences the disintegration of society and foreign occupation, their challenge verges on the impossible. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

There were also places where the dialogue was squeezed together (issues with formatting) as well as the political dialogue being slightly excessive. It also would have been nice to have seen some more female characters, especially those that had the same type of strength as Cliffson’s wife.
Despite it all, I found this to be a great read for many reasons. One is the strong connection between what’s happening in the book and current events, such as the state of unemployment, the national debt, and cutting spending on federal programs. There were also characters in the novel that paralleled the general public.
Overall, Truth’s Blood is deeper than a novel. It is a write that warrants conversation across different generations and different subcultures and deserving of a read. Great read for political enthusiasts and conspiracy theory buffs. ( )
