Theoterrorism
We are facing all kinds of threats but the most dangerous one is that of Theoterrorism. Everyone knows about al-Qaida; they are a Theoterrorism group. Theoterrorism is terrorism that has a religious motive or purpose. They are now here and want to take over Tocabaga.
My name is Jack Gunn and I often ponder, how did our country get this way? My thinking is it was a number of things but it was also an overzealous President who was pushing for more control of the government to make a truly socialist state. The President put into effect Presidential Executive Order 13603 which to everyone’s surprise declares that all property belongs to the Federal Government: your house, money, guns, and even your kids. They can tell you where to live and where to work.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.” On Tocabaga we provide our own security and will never give up our freedom.
In 2013, the NSA started to tap our phones, read our emails, read our snail mail, and read our Facebook pages. We were all being watched, we were all suspected of doing something wrong, we were all having our Bill of Rights violated in the name of government security, and no one did anything about it.

Robbie, my best friend, was killed by the Feds on April 27, 2025 and was buried at sea like everyone else. We make white crosses out of plastic fence posts and paint the names of those who died and the dates they lived so they’ll be remembered. We included the six Rangers who were killed fighting for our freedom in our cross cemetery, which is ringed by a small white picket fence. The Army took the Rangers’ bodies away for burial at a National Cemetery. We had a 21-gun salute and ceremony for everyone who was killed fighting the FPF, the so-called Federal Police Force. Robbie was a Board member on Tocabaga and we voted to replace him with Jim Bo, who is my son-in-law.
Everyone gets buried at sea here because we have no room for a cemetery and don’t want dead bodies buried near us. The coyotes would dig them up and eat them. Coyotes are a dangerous problem after coming here in the year 2000. They’re fast, smart and eat anything—even people—but they usually try to make easy kills of rabbits, cats and dogs. We try to shoot them on sight but they’re very elusive and roam mainly at night. One ran down the middle of the street in broad daylight the other day. It went by so fast most people didn’t see it.
One of the Rangers killed in the battle with the FPF had his wife and daughter coming here to live this month. We will greet her and make sure she’s taken care of. Captain Sessions had the terrible job to make sure the dead Rangers’ family members were contacted.
Captain Sessions is a 6 foot 180 pound man of good looks, has light brown hair, and an ugly scar running across his cheek from a bullet wound. He has a very commanding air about him and his troops follow every order he gives them without question. There are a lot of tough men in the Rangers and Captain Sessions is one of the toughest I have seen. He’s a smart battle-hardened Ranger who cares about his men and they care about him. I like him because you can tell he’s a man of his word.
The Rangers took all 65 FPF (Federal Police Force) prisoners that were captured during our battle on April 27, 2025, away by truck, to a secure location. They wouldn’t tell us where they were taken due to security reasons. Who knows, maybe they were all eliminated or terminated by the Rangers, as there were a lot of hard feelings. You could tell the Rangers hated the FPF and rightfully so, in my opinion. Everyone hates the Feds and I’m sure no one minds killing a few of them. I believe they should all face a firing squad and be shot for treason.
Since April 25th, we haven’t had to do security duty since the Rangers handle everything in regards to our security and protection. They come to the island bar for some of Eddie’s beer when they get time off. We’re all bonding very well and becoming good friends.
Our people spend most of the time trying to grow enough food and catch 1,000 pounds of fish per day. We have a lot of mouths to feed and at least 40 people go fishing almost every day. Many take out boats and go far offshore, but most fish on the shoreline.
On April 27th, the rest of the Rangers arrived by truck, Hummers, and helicopters making a total of almost 600 men now based at the Fort. Everyone is happy about that as now we have real protection and a real sense of security. They’re always flying in and out of the Fort on dangerous missions to fight crime or terrorism wherever it may be found. Usually about 200 men remain here at all times.

Good series
Lots info especially on guns. Easy read. I am reading it a second time & I never do that.
It could have more characters speaking their life & views of what happened.
Then it would be more interesting to me.
It is hard for me to keep all the characters straight because we don't get to know them personally & hear their thoughts & what life has become for them.
For example I would like to hear what was going through the Muslims minds after they asked Jack to
join Tocabaga, etc. Also what was going on at the condos with the druggie gang & especially the mother who sent her child to Tocabaga & how & why she died for doing so.

I started reading "men's adventure" probably 40 years ago. Before that it was science fiction all the time. I have grown somewhat over the years and today find myself reading more food labels than books - but there's always time for books. Now it's science fiction or action-adventure when I go looking for books about people who experience catastrophic challenges and work to survive. It has been interesting to see how PC works even in how we categorize our books. It's really quite amazing how many ideas I get about potential threats and how to deal with them even in fiction books. They have a wealth of information.
In this genre characters make every effort to overcome natural disasters, terror attacks, an overwhelmingly large government, loss of power (and life as we currently know it), many have lost trust in others and the world around them. There are individuals who work only for themselves, families, small groups, and then we have communities. This book is about a community in 2025 that works together for the good of all. Their core belief for this cooperation is the U.S. Constitution. That makes my heart happy. The book doesn't go into great detail about the community, but it's less than 100 pages long - how detailed can one expect it to get? The people who are active in the book have characteristics that ring true to one who has been studying people for many years. They face adversities, including people trying to infiltrate their community, attacks by terrorists, and an island life where just obtaining enough food for everyone can be difficult. There are some editing issues, but most readers would probably be able to cope. A very specific focus on firearms and military weapons is enlightening. There is some rather graphic violence, but that is the nature of survival.
Reading this book was like eating cotton candy - satisfying, fun and really rather quickly over. But I must say that the lead in to the book had a hook that pulled me in immediately: Tocabaga is real. It said they are waiting for me to find the email address and contact them. I want to go visit!
This is my first review for Goodreads and I hope it's adequate.

February 2, 2014Good but to short
a good action , packed book
it could have been longer. there needs to be a
lead in to the next book rather than a drop off.
info about guns is decent.

This could be a really good story but the asides that the author keeps plugging in pulls me out of the action. 90% of what he adds is common knowledge to the average reader of this genre any ways.
