Liberty or Death

The Peacekeepers #3

by Ricky Sides

Newly edited by Frankie Sutton. The peacekeepers travel to Hannibal Missouri to the site where the development team did their original work on their ship. They hope to find the components needed to build additional lasers for their base. While there they also pick up the two small scale models of the Peacekeeper which Pol uses to create drones that can be controlled by operators aboard the ship. Lina and Robert are waiting at the base when the crew returns. The crew of the Peacekeeper soon discovers that the pair had run from Texas to Alabama fleeing slavers who operate slave farms in that state. When the pair are nursed back to health they lead the peacekeepers on a mission to stop the slavers. A renegade former soldier has recruited thousands of followers and plans to name himself President of the United States. Can the crew of the Peacekeeper stop that plan and save America from a brutal military dictatorship? The crew travels to Millbrae California and locate the factory where some precious alloy is stored. They also learn that the Pentagon had stolen some of the work of the developers to create a doomsday fighter aircraft. One by one the crew unravels the secrets and the peacekeeper air force is born. Dozens of additional drones are also created. A man who would be King takes control of Kansas and issues a stern warning to the peacekeepers. “Stay out of Kansas.” To show that he means business, the King kills a captive peacekeeper and makes a sex slave of another. Utilizing almost all of the remaining precious alloy the brilliant scientist Pol Bleakman and his assistants, along with the help of the other peacekeepers, create a drone battleship. Can this fledgling peacekeeper air force deal with the crisis in Kansas? Books in Motion will soon release the audio version.

I've read the first three books of Ricky Sides Peacekeeper series. I like the original plot-premise of "what do we do when....", and that's what keeps me reading just for the fun of seeing what the author does with the situation.

I do get annoyed at the repetitiveness -- when re-introducing a character, or a subject, please don't use exactly the same words -- it's very annoying to read the identical description three times! I also get annoyed at the grammar problems, but that could be because I'm reading a Kindle edition.
