[Shanna Tidwell · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good series but it’s not amazing. I’m not sure why. It has action, a tiny bit of a love triangle, killers, cannibals, a possible biological weapon..... all the things I love in my SHTF books. I just haven’t been drawn in where I’m eager to know what comes next. I will continue the series because I am a tiny bit vested in a couple of the characters but a lot of them are forgotten from one chapter to the next. I want to love it, I just like it enough.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from the publisher/author but voluntarily give my honest review.

This is the first book in the series I've listened to and reviewed, but with that said I think it was fantastic!! Great story line (spine-tingling madness!), like the characters and story line, great narration as well. I'm definitely interested in reading/listening to more in the series, I need to know how it all turns out! :) Really scary parallels in today's society. Would definitely recommend it!! :)

Excellent book with real world examples written into the story of our friends (cough cough) big spending on big government socialistic programs, leading us too agenda 21. And the oath keepers and the 3% who resist. And excellent series of reading. I just cant put it down, it's that good. I highly recommend the series.

The revelation

The story continues and The United Nation's Muslim commander wants to rule and sends his troops against the Americans fighting for freedom. The horror of what is taking place keeps you reading.

Book 2 of Tyrant

What an adventure. Having our main characters basically winging it has kept me on my toes. Enjoying the series immensely. Looking forward to the End Game.

Main Core review

Main Core is the second fast paced post apocalyptic book in the Tyrant series written by author L. Douglas Hogan.

[Craig D Orzel, Sr · Rating 5 out of 5]

Outstanding

Another outstanding book from this author. A fight for the very survival of America. A very plausible scenario with the way our country is heading.

[RJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

The term Main Core started out as a government RFID program to help identify soldiers. In times of tyranny it came to be the government blacklist of tens of thousands of patriotic citizens. Surviving patriots of the Southern Illinois raid by U.N. Forces have gathered together, deciding to make their own raid on a U.N. held prisoner camp. Goose Island, on the outskirts of Chicago was a FEMA stronghold where captured patriots were shipped and slaughtered for the “common good”. As our boys traveled they liberated and/or acquired additional survivors and equipment until their ranks swelled to several thousand. As their presence was made known they were contacted by two surviving members of the U.S. Joint Chiefs requesting that they join ranks to take back America. In the meantime, U.N. Forces tighten the noose on U.S. Forces by bringing new technology weapons to bear. The North Koreans had developed Direct Energy Weapons or DEWYS, to aid in the destruction and conquest of America. The backup plan, should the U.N. Iranian General fail to eliminate the resistance, was Operation Black State; a weaponized form of the Black Plague pandemic, which killed upwards of 200 million people in the 13th century. As the simmering pot comes to a boil; will our group of patriots make it to Chicago, will they still be around to join ranks with the Joint Chiefs forces, and will the North Koreans have any more technological surprises up their sleeve? Stay tuned; it’s an exciting ride! This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Tyrant

A very good read for me. I could really believe that I was living in the time that was to become.
