The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

Story
This book is a call to return to our American roots; to remember our heritage and birthright. Most importantly, it is a reminder that our oaths are binding, and we have a responsibility to ourselves and our posterity to honor them. Douglas Hogan writes in a style that is both direct and candid. No words are minced; there is no "beating around the bush" or "tip-toeing through tulips". Douglas says what he means, and his incredible passion is ample evidence that he means what he says.
Publisher's Summary
Follow Nathan, Jess, Denny, and others as they struggle through a post-apocalyptic America, where the only law is martial!
Their struggles take them from the comforts of their southern Illinois homestead, to the brutal realities of an America where liberty is no longer a right, and survival is of the fittest.

tyranny is the use of power to subjugate
“Tyranny isn’t a political party and a tyrant isn’t a bureaucrat. Rather, tyranny is the use of power to subjugate and a tyrant is the man with a heart evil enough to do it.” The United States is in a world of hurt. The U.S. has been invaded by the U.N., the President is in cahoots with the U.N., and the Patriots within the Armed Forces are trying to separate the good from the bad. This book highlights the concept and realism of Oath Keepers [a far-right, anti-government American organization associated with the patriot movement and militia movement. It encourages members—some of whom are current and former U.S. military and law enforcement officers—not to obey orders which they believe would violate the United States Constitution. i.e. Wikipedia] The President has been on a mission to take Americans guns, ammunition, transportation, fuel and rights under the guise of martial law. The U.N. leaders, evidently Middle Eastern, are tired of the slow moving American President and begin to accelerate the takeover via brutality. Great beginning to a very interesting series. There is a prequel available, but I’m already beyond that. I’ll wait for Audible to get the second and third books of the series.

a good story
This is a well written story about the fall of America. The narrator does a good job, but I think (personal preference here) some more inflection on some of the voices is needed.

WTF???
This was not very well written or edited. The storyline was too fast and disjointed. There was too much military jargon. On the other hand he did write a book which is more than I have done. I have enjoyed his other books.

Brilliant mix of fact weaved fiction.
This three book series is a great read and should be an eye opener of very real possibilities in our future. There is a lot of truth built into this story. I would venture to say this could be an example of what will be our future if we keep letting politicians do what they have been doing and even more so what the mainstream media and the education system does to indoctrinate our youth and uninformed sheeple. Thanks for all your hard work Douglas! Shotgun Bob

A good start to the series.
This book started the Tyrant series. The premises behind the series is Fema and the United Nations take over the United States. The President allows this to happen. It follows several groups as they survive and stay out of the Fema camps. The book was good, but the narrator did not help maske it great.

A possible future.
I enjoyed his but I felt it needed something more. Maybe more character building or fewer plot lines. I don’t know. I wasn’t completely drawn in with the ‘I can’t put this down feeling’ or the ‘oh wow I wonder what will happen next’ feeling either. I have already started book 2 and everything is coming together better so that is why I gave the book at higher rating. Narration is good. I was voluntarily provided this review copy at no charge by the author, publisher and or narrator.

Scary in its possibilities
Wow. First off, learning all the executive orders that have been put in place over the last 60 years, where the government can basically confiscate anything in an emergency is beyond terrifying. In this situation, the US was brought down by enemies both foreign and domestic. This book kept me glued to my iPad until I finished. It made me think about how the power of one in a high position can really corrupt and cause devastation for all. Great start to the series.
