Today is Book Bomb Day for the latest edition of James Wesley, Rawles’ novel Patriots. It’s got a spiffy new cover and subtitle.
Much like Atlas Shrugged or Unintended Consequences, if you haven’t read it, you should. None of those three books are great literature by any stretch of the imagination, but all of them share the potential for a life-changing effect on the reader. As far as Patriots is concerned, whatever you may think of the plot (which in the second half devolves into fantasy IMO) the book’s loaded with nugget after nugget of detailed, practical “how-to” information, ideas, and food for serious thought and reflection.
Plus, if you buy it today you’ll help kick the book up Amazon’s sales list. Right now it’s at #7.Â
I’ll have a detailed review in a few days. Get yours now so you can follow along!
I was checking the rack at B&N in Olympia and noticed the cover, then noticed the name, then picked it up, then purchased it.
I’ll give a review as well when I’m finished 🙂
Cool! Was it the version pictured above, or the one with the flames?
Post a link to your review in this thread and I’ll be sure to highlight it in a post of its own.
I picked up the version posted here. Hopefully I’ll get some quality reading time this weekend 🙂
I think it’s very kewl that Barnes & Noble, of all places, has them in stock. Very kewl indeed.
Add in the fact that the setting for the book is in the heart of Boomershoot country, and it really adds a healthy dose of reality to the book. If you take the “back way” to Boomershoot from Seattle, you drive through many of the towns and hamlets mentioned.
