Of late, American freedoms have been under attack. Many chapters of this timely novel are prefaced by quotes from the founding fathers, and other titans of economic and political liberty such as Friedrich Hayek and Frederic Bastiat. Anyone who is a fan of broadly laissez-faire economics, constitutionalism and small government will recognise the rich vein of thought from which Roberts draws. An early chapter of "Truth's Blood" contains an argument between a student of economics and his conformist peers that recalls the spirited, individualist heroes of  Ayn Rand's novels.Roberts depicts an America of the near future, in which her decay and the total collapse of the European economy encourages the Chinese to invade, on what becomes known as the Day of Tears. Our heroes are forced into a nightmarish guerilla war, in which their lives and the freedom of the American people is at stake.I highly recommend this book to fans of Ron Paul, and anyone who is concerned about the way things are headed in America and Europe today.
