The next one is supposed to be released in 2012. I suspect it was written as a whole and then cut in half by the editor. It's all about the money [Tooth]. Kinda ironic, isn't it?

Very poorly written and very very repetitive on some topics. I'm glad I didn't pay for this book.

I just got this at the library and finished it over the weekend. I truly enjoyed Patriots, but have to agree with others...Book is poorly written. Too many storylines that are not developed (Seed lady, La Fuerza, the provencial Gov't group) and don't go anywhere. The end of the book seemed like he was tired of writing and just stopped.

Looking forward to reading the new book, when it is available for free.

This book was like Caddyshack 2, compared to the first book.
There are parts were it appears to be a different person writing.

He's writing a 3rd book now, and I'll probably buy it just for the entertainment value. Hopefully 'Survivors" was the sophomore blues and
the new book will be better...

Still better than watching the "news" and "HOPE"ing for all to be well.

Is Patriots much changed from The Grey Ninties or Triple Ought? I always liked "When Autumn Leaves Fall" better.

This is excactly what I think. Not a bad read, but he's getting awards any time soon. But his stories do make you think about things.
