A futuristic novel about a United States embroiled in a civil war. This could envision a future maga revolt against our federal government. Mr Topping does not speak of politics at all. He focuses on people - a man (Trent) fighting for the government and a woman (Sam) who is a sniper for the rebels. We become vested in their successes and failures. Ultimately, there is a little too much battlefield stuff at the expense of more fleshed out characters. ( ) 2 stars, both sides believe they're right WAKE OF WAR by Zac Topping In a dystopian future, there's the US Military on one side and the Revolutionary Front on the other side, with the RF trying to take over major cities. It's basically a story about one side shooting at the other side with snipers. The blurb seemed appealing, but the book was not for me. It may appeal to you. I would have given it one star, except that a name in the book is similar to one of my family members, so gave it a 2-star marking. That family member may purchase solely for that reason.

"Zac Topping's Wake of War is a timely account of the lengths those with power will go to preserve it, and the determination of those they exploit to destroy everything in the name of freedom anew. "I just hope I'm on the right side of history." The United States of America is a crumbling republic. With the value of the dollar imploding, the government floundering, and national outrage and resentment growing by the hour, a rebellion has caught fire. The Revolutionary Front, led by Joseph Graham, has taken control of Salt Lake City. In a nation where opportunity is sequestered behind the gilded doors of the rich and powerful, joining the Army seemed like James Trent's best option. He just never thought he'd see combat. Now Trent finds himself on the front lines fighting for something he doesn't even know if he believes in. Destroying innocent lives wasn't what he signed on for, and he can feel himself slipping away with every casualty. Sharpshooter Sam Cross was just fourteen when American soldiers gunned down her parents and forced her brother into conscription. Now, five years later, retribution feels like her only option to stitch the wound of her past. She has accepted Joseph Graham's offer to be his secret weapon. His Reaper in the Valley. But retribution always comes at a cost. When forces clash in Salt Lake City, alliances will be shattered, resolve will be tested, and when the dust clears nobody will be able to lie to themselves, or be lied to, again"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
