Uncivil War
Free men have arms; slaves do notThere’s nothing civil about war, a grim reality Billy Hale and his fellow patriots learn firsthand as they fight a cat-and-mouse guerrilla campaign against legions of American and foreign troops who’ve been ordered by Marxist president Alecia Morales to occupy Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas in a bid to restore order and quell the burgeoning insurgency.

Only a little above poor
As with every book or movie there are some good things and some bad things, this series is no exception. I have read the first two books of the series and have decided to pass on the third. First the good things-the overall plot of the series is pretty good and the basic characteristics of the main characters are solid, just not well developed and don't evolve over the series.
Now for the bad. The editing and spelling is horrible and difficult to read. There are too many chapter breaks that not only make no sense but make it difficult to follow the actions of the main characters. Both books are desperately in need of organization and logical progression.
Normally I am a fanatic about finishing any series I start reading, and I read a lot of different types of fiction, but when it came time to select the final book in the series I simply didn't want to work this much to read a story. Having read a number of books in this genre I can honestly say these two books are the first that I have learned nothing from and did not connect with the characters.

Tedious Storyline
I have read the first and second books. The author writes well, aside from some grammatical errors that one can reasonably blame on a poor editor. The reason this yarn gets two stars is the overdone-to-the-point-of-being-tedious justification for fighting against a corrupt federal government. This book was 90% about justifying resistance, 5% combat action, and 5% strained love story.
If you’re reading this type of novel, you don’t need to a soft-lecture in novel form on why it’s right to fight domestic enemies of the Constitution.

Get a Decent Editor!!!
So many issues with punctuation (i.e. quotation marks showing up randomly) continuity issues where a new sentence in a paragraph has nothing to do with the thought intended, mixing up characters by having a quote from the wrong character, weapons issues… and it seems very evident that this is a European writer trying to write about the US. Oklahoma is NOT considered a southern state by anyone living in the south, but the author seems to think it is. Conversation terms the author used between “red necks” was all wrong. And we don’t spell it “Centre.” A US agency will be spelled as “Center.”
The storyline was good, but there were so many issues that it distracted from the story.

Good story, terrible writing!
Hire a new proof reader or purchase new writing software.
The story is a good one if you can get past the difficulty in reading it. Missing words in a sentence or extra words depending on the page. Sentences with no context or having anything to do with the conversation or scene placed randomly in paragraphs. Not just once or twice, but, constantly through out the book. Book 1 was just as bad.

Get an editor who understands grammar
The story is nothing new, but entertaining. The editing is horrendous. There are issues with an inconsistent timeline. One paragraph talks of many months passing, then the next sentence talks of it only being three weeks. Just terrible. Also learn grammar and proper verb subject linkage. Get an editor who can read.

Same High Quality as Book One
Action moves fast, nobody is safe, the twists are not predictable. Honestly, as much as I enjoy the storyline, I must say it can be depressing to read of the brutality our government employs against the citizens. I will finish the series, but I'm taking a break.

A poor-man’s political satire
The book has at times bouth sides say it’s a civil war but there no signs of political structure or military it’s been only groups and individuals leading the battle making seem more like a civil uprising then a war.

Good Book
This was a Good 2nd Book in the Series. I will be downloading Book 3 shortly. This one was a little hard to follow.

Great storyline poorly edited
Great characters. Action level appropriate. Fast pace. Quick read that would be more enjoyable if the editing had caught the word usage errors.
