Blood Republic is a political thriller for an anti-political time. Corrupt politicians, crazed generals, DMT, and viral hate; Blood Republic examines modern extremism through a heart-thumping thriller with the fate of the country at stake.During the closing hours of the tightest presidential election in US history, firebrand Annie Daniels is a Democratic-socialist senator determined to win the White House. She dreams of eradicating injustice, and hopefully, saving her dying daughter's life. Major Amos Daniels, her conservative Green Beret brother might have something to say about that though, if her plans go against his faith. As an Electoral College tie nears the country erupts into rioting, and Annie and Amos are thrust to opposite ends of a constitutional crisis, guns drawn. Will the Daniels family find common ground above ideology to prevent a second civil war? Or, will a true enemy-of-the-state escape justice while the nation crumbles into chaos?Blood Republic will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering as to who the true villain is in a divided modern America, and if anything is ever as it seems.… (altro)
fulner: They are like complimentary opposites in a way. Only is a story told in a way specifically meant to mess with your mind and not make sense the first time through with competing stories, the other seems to make perfect sense until you learn it's been several timelines all along… (altro)
Utente anonimo: If you love books that try to push the envelope of philosophical thought, but do it within a rapid-fire plot, this is the book for you.

I was incredibly surprised how great this was from an author and a publisher I never heard of. It is as if Duncan predicted Jan 6th four years before it actually happened. Though his story goes one step further than 1/6/21 and actually may result in an all on civil war from a "tied" election. I hope the 2024 election turns out better than his 2016, but I wouldn't put it past my fellow Americans.
From beginning to end Duncan keeps you guessing. I kept wondering "is this guy a conservative or a liberal, a Republican or a Democrat" there are times both groups are shown as saintly or as complete devils. Clearly, he's not a third-party guy as there was 0 mention of any other candidates causing the downfall of America. From the main character who has been fighting for social democracy since childhood, to her born-again conservative green beret brother, to her transgender life-long friend and campaign manager, to the conservative Baptist republican nominee, to all the rondos on @Twittter that we see taking a part, not to mention her daughter with a life-threatening despise that wraps the whole story together, the characters will brilliant. I do say one very minor character gave up way too much, in fact when he appeared around 3/4 of the way through the story I almost gave up on the book as his mere name made it much clearer where the author was and how he'd get to the climax. This is the reason I give Blood Republic 4 rather than 5 stars.
I certainly would at least give them a different name if a sequel wherever to be published. The end of the book tells us to look forward to one and to subscribe to the publishers' newsletter online for more information, but alas I suspect it went out of business as the website is not accessible in 2023. It's a real shame if that's the case. Whether a sequel is published or not, some publisher really needs to get James Duncan on contract, or we'll lose a literacy genius. ( )
