review 1: completely different than what I expected but still great. more unprecedented deaths of significant characters, more political manipulations, and an interesting twist at the end.For those who think this is a right wing book, you are a democrat. if you this this is a book about the evils of war and socialized medicine then you are republican. if you viewed this as a neutral unbiased look at our future, then you are like me. The main point of these two books in my opinion, is to NOT be readily tied to one political group or the other. We should be Americans. that's all i will say about that.I really enjoyed both of these books even though they are vastly different books. I love all the historical references. "those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it" cert... moreainly applies to the undertones of the plot.highly recommended.
review 2: I thought that this was a good book. It is a plausible look at what the near future of America could look like if one man were smart enough to try to set himself up as a emperor. Then, we have a few soldiers mixed in who run around trying to make things right.I noticed that there are a lot of mixed reviews here. But, that fallows right along with the red state, blue state premise that is at the base of the civil war that was averted in the first book. Seeing those reviews only made the books more plausible. It is pretty funny to see. less

Orson Scott Card's sequel to his best selling book "Empire." Some of the same characters from Empire continue in this book, most of which takes place in either today's Washington, DC or central Africa where a new deadly plague is decimating the population. As always, Card uses young people in an excellent way to move his story of adventure and fighting forward. This is not so much science fiction as it is current history with a few futuristic add-ons. Watch for the major twist at the end.
