Book Review: Taking On the Quislings
Summary: 5 Stars
Whoooee!! What a bodacious book. Writers of fiction, who write didactically (which Matthew Bracken does in spades), can change the paradigms of history in a big way. And god knows, we need to change the political paradigm of America in a major way. If this novel is read widely, it could be just such a paradigm shifting vehicle. It is a powerful story with very endearing characters, edge-of-your-seat tension, and a fantastic ending. Can hardly wait for the sequel.
Unfortunately because of the despicable PC times we live in, this book will encounter mountains of resistance and calumny from the establishment. But then all contrarian literature has to endure the smear tactics of the orthodoxy it is attacking. I'm sure Bracken is well prepared for it.
That the quislings in control of our federal government are selling the country out regarding the immigration issue is clear by now to all but the blind. If you want to get a glimpse of what lies ahead for us because of how our government is handling the Latin invasion from the south, this book will parcel out a powerful warning to you. Bracken has a fine grasp of the corrupted political, economic, and sociological forces that threaten us as a nation today. And he incorporates this understanding beautifully into the dialogue, the setting, the theme, and the plot of his novel.
In addition, Bracken creates riveting scenes of heart-thumping action and emotional-moral conflicts throughout that come at you like a hailstorm. After the reader meets the heroine, Ranya Bardiwell, in the first few of these scenes, he senses that this is a woman like Mitchell's Scarlett O'Hara and Rand's Dagny Taggart. From a man's point of view, great literature simply must have a strong, captivating female lead. Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista fills the bill admirably.
One caveat: Bracken has the ability, with the way he fashions his prose, to plunge the reader totally into the scene he is describing. You see, hear, feel, and sense vividly where he takes you and what he portrays for you. Some of the scenes are gory and quite explicit. So if you're squeamish, be prepared to grit one's way through a few ghastly rides. The overall message and its ultimate denouement, however, more than make up for these occasional but strongly visceral surprises that ambush the reader.
We live in a watershed era of history today. A series of very dangerous crises are descending upon us that are going to end our world as we know it (such as immigration overload, massive public debt, social security bankruptcy, oil shortages, inflation-stagflation, etc.), all of which have been brought on by the hubris and ideological insanity of our federal government over the past 70 years. Human nature being what it is, the collectivists in Washington will not be able to recognize their heavy-handed connection to the maelstrom of difficulties engulfing us. They will merely react like robots to do what they do best -- suppress, exploit, and propagandize for more federal control over American society. A horrific and illuminating look into what kind of future is coming our way because of this obtuse governmentalism lies within the pages of Matthew Bracken's novel. Read it, and pass it on to all those you care about.
