    I have signed up to pass the word....Some here on this board liked Matt Bracken's book "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" when it came out and now Matt is seeking help. His 1st book goes into Amazon's free library for 5 days starting March 1st. For details and to team up with Matt go here Enemies Foreign and Domestic - About the Book

    Buy the Trilogy

    I read this book and highly recommend it. This book was very prophetic of the Fast and Furious debacle. I only wish more Congressmen would read this book and put 2 and 2 together to see how easy something like this book could happen. Fast and Furious is only prelude.


    QS: I am curious, however, how this works. Wouldn't Bracken be losing money the more people downloaded his book for free, due to decreased demand in the market?

    I read the book already, but it's nice to have on the PC too.

    I was pleased to see a free Kindle for PC app on the Amazon.com website.

    I need the large print version anyway, so reading on the PC is easier.

    mmmm...mmmmm........that book is going to pi$$ you guys off in about 20 different ways.

    I think we all need to have a cyber-bookclub after everyone finishes.

    I have a signed copy of the book. I bought it when it first came out. I just got the free kindle version just so I can read it again without damaging my book.
     
  11. Thanks! Will start reading it as soon as possible!

    Matter of opinion. Free publicity is always welcome to writers. (I speak as a writer, of course[stirpot])

    I read it some time ago. It had a few issues, but the next two books are much better.

    Any way you get to read Brakken's books they are worth it.
    Best thing is as you can 'read into' the story and observe the events in today's political climate...as was said before it will pi** you off. The series is very good at bringing you into the lives of the main players. All in all, all are good with #2 & #3 being the best.
    Matt Bracken's most recent book 'Castigo Cay' is a different series start. New characters & storyline but a good read for the action/adventure fans.

    Dammit Quig! Now I have all three....lol! Like I had time to read them.....officially addicted. Staying up late at night, telling myself just another page...lol. Just started the third one. Good thing I had a four day weekend. Now....back to "Foreign Enemies".

    I have to admit, I love my iPhone so I can read a few pages whenever I get the chance without dragging a paperback around with me.

    He may lose a little $ at first, but then he has repeat customers for his other work AND every download free or paid goes towards his download count (i.e. "popularity)

    Yes! I didn't realize the other books created a trilogy. Of course this makes sense....you get hooked on one and you want more.

    I gotta admit though, it will be a while before I buy the other two. The first one, while very good, pissed me off so bad that I dreaded reading it....same reason I don't watch the news. It's just too close to reality. Plus...the ending was very 19th-century Russian in literary terms.
