Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Daniel Lilienthal had lived his days like a foregone conclusion in the shadow of his father's will for him. Then he gets a camera, and the world becomes clearer. Seeing life more in depth through the viewfinder, he begins to find the strength he had locked away. Photography teaches him that looking at the world through the lens can reveal more than the mind knows about the person behind it.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 338 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | 2028A novel by D.H. Robbins It is January 2028. By now, Demagogue-turned-Autocrat Alexander Kenton had forced his win of the 2020 American election through millions of planned, random "voting errors." He soon abolished free elections, along with the bi-partisan Congress and Senate. The Judicial branch was now weighted in his favor, granting the now-Premier Kenton enormous executive powers over the nation he has re-named "Real-America." Most of the journalists and "Intellectual Seditionists" have been put in work camps, or even executed. There is now only one TV news/entertainment network-his own. A para-militia of "BlueShirts" and PRICE (Public Reform and Immigration Control) agents were fully in place to maintain Law and Order, as Kenton had promised upon his forced 2020 victory. Now his endgame to fuse Real-America with Russia to form a new Soviet Union is within reach.There had been opposition fronts, but their leaders and lieutenants have been either executed or put in one of the many gulag-style work camps around the country. One movement that has prevailed is the Neo-Publica, under the leadership of Sylvia Morales, formerly a philosophy professor at Yale. Having been sprung from an Alaskan work camp by a few of her former followers, she has gone underground to regroup her coalition. Will she and the Neo-Publicas succeed in taking down the Kenton regime? Will they succeed in re-forming what had once made America a fair and just democracy before the Soviet-American alliance is established?"2028" is relevant because it is a story of what could happen when an attempted coup succeeds. Never had we come so close to this as the January 6th, 2021 insurrection, which could be argued was sedition by a sitting president. It could happen yet.…
