Wyatt Kaldenberg's review of Cruel New World
Posted: 12 Jul 2011, 09:47
Christopher Drake’s The Cruel New World is the first book
in a series of action novels about rural folks surviving in the
American back country during World War Three.
Communist Red China has invaded the United States of
America, and a group of rednecks try their best to stay alive
in a world that is imploding before them. These people aren’t
heroes. They are anti-heroes. The sort of average folks you
would find at a gun show, a seedy bar, or drunk at a
NASCAR race. Actually, some of these folks are a bite
below average and could be termed as “poor White trash” or
“lowlifes," but they are the types of common people who
down through history have risen in times of need and
became true heroes.
Christopher Drake is a capable writer who knows well the
country folks he writes about. Mr. Drake is a proletarian
author in the same working class camp as the two-fisted
hard drinking writers Jack London and Frank Norris. He
writes from the sweaty brow of the common man.
Christopher Drake makes his people come to life. The Cruel
New World gives the reader engaging characters and page
turning excitement.
Christopher Drake’s The Cruel New World is a prophetic
novel about things that may well come true. The realism of
Mr. Drake’s fiction makes it important.
