Kratocracy

by Archer Garrett

The sequel to The Western Front.

Darkness has descended upon the world; the fabric of society has been torn asunder, sovereign nations collapse under their own burdens, once stable governments are ushered into revolution and allies of old are thrust into war. The tentacles of darkness have inevitably traveled across the Atlantic and are now tightening their grip on the American republic.

Now, faced with a collapsing economy, a failing currency and a society that is swiftly casting its humanity aside, the United States stands at the precipice of a bedlam and malevolence not witnessed since the fall of Rome.

Picking up several weeks after the events in The Western Front, Kratocracy follows follows new and old characters including:

Barrett & Reese lead a group of Texas irregulars across the borderlands on horseback, in an attempt to break the cartels' grip in the area.

Governor Baker tries to spread the truth of who was really behind the terror strikes, while feverishly working to broker an alliance with the Nine of the North.

Meanwhile, the iron fist of tyranny rises in the east, threatening all who dare to stand in defiance.

Reviews

[J. Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

“Kratocracy” follows onto the events of the lead off book of the series “Western Front.” This edition follows the same characters as the first book and introduces other characters. This one pays special attention to Reese, Barrett and their team now operating along the Texas border with Mexico. In this book they link up with a group of “irregulars” fighting the drug cartels along the border.

He also opens a front along the Georgia barrier islands and coast in the breakdown of civil order. At each turn Garrett expands existing characters and introduces new ones in this dystopic world he has created. Strong storytelling and fast pacing will keep you reading to the end. Highly recommended.

Disappointed. I had this on my to read list for a while, I probably should have reread The Western Front before starting this.
