Almost added it to my Queue until I read this comment:

"A promising start and good reader soon degenerates into thinly veiled right-wing preaching. At three hours, when I finally gave up on this novel, the storyline had not yet progressed beyond criticism of (democrat) government response to events recently past."

I'll pass.

Mike,

I am not from the US, and my notions about internal politics in the US are vague at best.

So far, about two hours into the book, he blasts at a lot of things, but he makes that in a way that makes sense.

In particular, he reminds me of Hienlien's work.

No real plot yet, btw, but highly entertaining.

I'd recommend listening to Altered Carbon (fiction) and Blowback (non-fiction).
