05/04/08By Jack McClure
The year is 2274, America has been at war on its West Coast for thirty years, until one day the the Chinese suddenly pull out and go back home. Two strong women survived this grueling conflict and are heroes, but now they must fight a new war to bring America back from thirty years of chaos - and their new enemy is their own government! They find help from their old comrades in arms however, as well as from new friends who are, different... In a tale that reveals a dark future for the United States where popular culture and the government have fallen prey to vice and liberal fanaticism, and the concept of individual rights has almost been completely stamped out, the author shows a way its citizens can come together, triumph over the entrenched powers and change their world. Jack McClure's first full length science fiction novel weaves themes of government corruption, political intrigue, guerrilla warfare, feminism and friendship into a fascinating tale that is rich with detail and human emotion. Oh, and there's lots of Sci-Fi action too!
About the Author
Jack McClure's vision of the future draws on his own life experience as well as his research in cyber-systems and advanced warfare. He has chopped brush for surveyors in the "fever swamps" of Western Kentucky, told people what to do in mills and factories, written regulations for governments; and then, in the private sector, written environmental impact statements to meet those same regulations. (Perhaps this is what inspired him to write science fiction!) He is a geologist and so knows about the earth and everything on it. He was also a factory manager and so knows about the people who must work to live on it. And Jack was a government bureaucrat as well so he knows how governments work. And don't!
Jack has spent much of his time in the past, either peering at old rocks or reenacting ancient battles. However, in his literary choices, he tends to look to the distant, and possible future. He lives in the Virginia countryside now and is working on "Puss & Boots: Book 2" even as you read this.
