Good story and some interesting twists. Also deals with some very possible issues.

I wish that I had read this book the year it was published.

A spontaneous purchase. I hope I'll read it though. Some friends loved it so it must be good since they have good taste proved by choosing me as a friend.

This book is Christian speculative fiction. It was very interesting because it presents a possible future in which a second civil war takes place in the United States.

It has some wonderful plot twists. Basically it is the story of one man Douglas Richfield, a member of the peoples' movement (Socialist) who becomes a constitutionalist. It is the story of his development as a person, and as a person of faith. He is awoken from rote life living as a cog in the machine, to being a man of conscience, to finally a man of character.

It has elements of being a spy story, a love story, a story of political intrigue and faith all rolled up in one neat consistent package.

It is a good read that I could honestly recommend to just about anyone.

Aikman holds an accurate pulse on world politics. An expert in Soviet affairs, he has painted a frightening landscape of a possible future -- a world in which the fragility of American power is tested. This is a marvelous novel, a thinking mans story that is far more chilling than the works of his less-informed contemporaries. This book should be read, both for fun and enlightenment! PAY ATTENTION HOLLYWOOD -- WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE MOVIE!!!

I'm glad to see some other Amazonians remember and like this futuristic political novel. Aikman was a reporter when he wrote this and it shows - there's great detail in the imagined future of life in a quasi-communist America. Because the book doesn't completely demonize its villians (the socialists who seize power and become less democratic) or sanitize its heroes (the freedom fighters in the west), it fares better than other stories in this vein (like the tv mini-series "Amerika"). It's interesting that when he wrote this (before 1988) the author forsaw the pro-democracy movement coming to China (which would arise and, at least temporarily, be crushed in 1989). I think this was Aikman's first novel, and as a result sometimes the dialog is a little choppy, but if you're into this kind of stuff this is one worth hunting the used book stores (or used book web sites!) for.
The pace of the book is very uneven. When it focuses on the espionage part it is for the most part at least somewhat interesting, but too often when it's getting interesting, Aikman stops the action to go into overlong descriptions of life in a submarine, or General Hodges's life story. On the other hand, he never really lets us get to know Ritchfield, the main character very well. Not enough at least for me to really care about him. There's also several examples of repetition, where the author explains things he's already explained. But apart from the slow pace, the biggest problem is probably that the book leaves way too many loose ends. Like the most obvious question, who won the war in the end? It's like there was supposed to be a sequel that was never written. I would not recommend buying this book.
