During a passionate romance with Garrick Cripps, Suzanne Dreyfus wrote The Liberation Manifesto, a wicked satire of right-wing libertarian philosophy. However, Garrick took Suzanne’s parody seriously and now, many years later, uses it as a blueprint for how to overthrow American democracy in favor of the 1%. But for the revolution to begin, an inciting event, like a Stateside terrorist attack, is needed to convince the public that drastic change in leadership is necessary.
Suzanne, along with Carson McCready, a former Navy SEAL, and Laura Cavendish, a cyber weapons expert, are all that stand between Cripps and leadership of the country. Culminating in a violent denouement, Libertyland shows what could happen if the ideas of a madman go unchecked.
Libertyland is a departure from most thrillers of its ilk. Carson McCready, the main protagonist, breaks the predictable stereotype of the flag-waving uber-patriot. A student of the human condition, he thinks deeply about freedom and individualism, and in the end, he has no choice but to uphold his oath of honor and battle a violent conspiracy that is fueled by the blood of innocents. The themes are timeless. But Libertyland is also timely – a work of fiction that is unique to here and now.
When former Navy SEAL Carson McCready is implicated in a domestic terrorist plot, he’s determined to clear his name.
He soon discovers a well-orchestrated plan to promote capitalism while overthrowing the U.S. government. Author Peter Sacks delivers an all-too-real scenario in Libertyland.
The storyline focuses on a Libertarian movement set to upend democracy and empower wealthy capitalists. It sounds somewhat harmless until one man steps in and starts putting plans in motion, creating a tangled web of intrigue.
It’s one thing to pinpoint Carson as a scapegoat, but when a domestic terrorist attack takes away one of his loved ones, no one will stand between him and swift justice.
Libertyland details a complex plot to overthrow the government, and Carson McCready is the only one who can stop it.
