Fall of Freedom: A Last Patriots Prequel

The Last Patriots #0

by J.E. Ribbey

All the prepping hadn't prepared her for this...

There’s a shock that follows the loss of everything you knew, everything you believed, everything you dreamed. And in that terrible moment, frozen in time, your mind fails to process the pain because every descriptive word, everything you once understood, no longer has a foundation, and without a root, the mind cannot decipher meaning.

But as the fog begins to fade in the realization that you will not wake from this nightmare, shock gives way to loss, loss to grief, grief to acceptance.

It is here that those who remain find themselves at a die or…

John and Sara Redding found themselves among the folks blessed to live the American dream. They had a lovely family, a lovely house in a lovely neighborhood, and attended a lovely church—good folks living the good life—and then came the riots.

As the country is betrayed into a color revolution, John and Sara must fight for the survival of their community, their family, and their faith, only to discover there are greater forces at play…

Fall of Freedom is the story of how America falls and the inspiration behind the thrilling saga that begins in The Last Patriots.

This is a prequel to the Last Patriots series by J.E Ribbey. America has fallen and China has taken over and the John Redding family has survived due to preparing for such a time as this. It is a tale well told & very suspenseful. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys post-apocolyptic reading.

Fall of Freedom was good, but probably my least favorite of the series. The first 1/4 of the book was slow and mostly homesteading preparations for later, alongside frequent monologues about how liberty dies. Now, all of that stuff is fascinating to me on an intellectual level, and I loved seeing the parallels in the story in what is happening today—the story seemed very inspired by recent events. But in story form, the previously discussed elements did not flow as well. In any case, this story is a valuable reminder of how valuable our freedom is.
