This is my second book by Stephen Coonts so I'm not a long time fan. My first book was the recent Tommy Carmellini, The Art of War, LOVED it.
I've only finished 25% of Liberty's Last Stand, and I'm struggling. The beginning was a good thriller, jihadist mass killing people on trains, stadium, suicide bomb the usual. Texas ranch drug mule event was also interesting. But so far it's very lacking Jake Grafton. In certain chapters it is written in first person perspective of Tommy. *Scratch my head* Is this a Tommy Carmellini series rather than a Jake Grafton #11?
Many parts in this book is all too real. Many events are similar to current headlines; entertaining yet disturbing at the same time. I like the book enough to finish it, but I feel it took way too long. The fun started after 80%.

I really liked this book. What would happen if the president went rogue, enacted Marshall Law, and suspended habeas corpus? Would Texas go independent and form a new Republic? What then? Great premise for a book. Highly recommended.

Book 3 of 2019. As a younger person, I had quite a fondness for this genre that was due, in part, to my crush on Jack Ryan. 😂😂😂 For #theunreadshelfproject2019 I must say I borrowed this on a friend’s recommendation just a couple of weeks ago and have now completed it. It wasn’t for me but was totally the perfect book for my friend. I still kept turning pages though because I wanted to find out how things were going to end as the book also had a real apocalyptic/dystopian vibe to it.

Disappointing
Honestly, I think it is a dump book. The story plot is like a movie with lots of missing gaps. What made me disappointed most was that the author tried to portray Obama as the evil president. Specifically, that was the left-wing conspiracy of taking over the America. This book is like badly made of propaganda for right wing people to take up against the government. I just glad that I am done with this book.
