"The 28th Amendment" written by Jamie Richards is an interesting story about a dangerous obsession and the consequences it might bring.
It's been 7 years since President C H Moses introduced the 28th Amendment to the American constitution making the act of individual murder entirely legal. The President gambled his reputation, his career and the future of The United States. The President gambled that private revenge would prove a stronger deterrent than the law. He figured the best protection any person could have would be a close-knit family capable, willing and legally entitled to avenge murder.
During the past seven years people have seen how this change has impacted on American culture including the introduction of the controversial Surety Marshals for those people with no family. Whatever someone’s political view or personal opinion is, all people agree on one thing at least - that they have lived through an historic era…
This is one of the paragraphs from the very beginning of book that nicely summarizes the story background in which U.S. citizens’ obsession with guns is discussed through the story of one Marshall who is on the hunt for his prey.
It’s kind of obvious that author, Jamie Richards, was born outside the U.S. and that part of his career was writing for TV sketch shows – therefore it’s not surprise that this author with his novel succeeded to deliver such an intriguing parable.
In my opinion, either you are for or against weapon control that can be seen as one of the major problems these days in America, my advice would be to read this novel instead of a priori rejection it if you think differently. The book "The 28th Amendment" is decently written, easy to read and certainly worth the time you will spend because of questions the author dared to raise.
I was given a copy of this book by the author for the purpose of unbiased review, while all the presented information is based on my impressions.
