The Boulder Boys,
The Beginning
by Kirk Relford
Publisher:Mullen & McCotter (March 22, 2012)
In an election
year full of vitriol, at a time in American history when very basic
concerns about our future are surfacing in communities across the
country, when support for the “powers that be” is at an all-time
low, this book is a thought-provoking look at what would happen if
the frustrations we've seen expressed by the Tea Party, the Occupy
Movement, and other activists were to finally boil over.
Jefferson said
“And what country can preserve its
liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this
people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The
remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them.
What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of
liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of
patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
While some activists today blithely
pull out this quotation at every opportunity, few really take the
time to run the scenarios that would occur should that resistance
really come to pass. Kirk Relford, on the other hand, has clearly
been thinking about this for some time.
In this near-future (only 7 years away
in 2019) science fiction, or future history, depending on how you
want to look at it, America is in serious trouble.
