An Enemy of the State

The LaNague Federation, Book 1

De: F. Paul Wilson

Narrado por: Greg Tremblay

Meet Peter LaNague - citizen of the planet Tolive, devotee of the Kyfho philosophy, revolutionary agent provocateur.

But LaNague is planning a unique revolution. One that not only topples the entrenched Outworld Imperium, but fundamentally alters every outworlder’s concept of government as well. To accomplish this he must ally himself with a madman, trust the word of the last of Sol System’s robber barons, make incisive use of the consummate warriors from the planet Flint without letting them run amok, confound at every turn the omnipresent forces of the Imperium, and every now and then make it rain money.

But those are the easy parts. His greatest challenge will be to see his plan through to successful completion without becoming the very enemy he has vowed to destroy.

A must read for freedom lovers.

The evils of FIAT money, overspending, inflation, and how the working class pays the highest burdens are clearly shown, in a readable SciFi novel.

A great book but a rushed ending. Why?

F Paul Wilson Does It Again

I purchased this audiobook simply because who had written the book. F Paul Wilson never disappoints. I was a bit worried when I first started this audiobook because it is sci-fi, a genre I am not a fan of. It did not take long for me to become totally enthralled in the book and ended up immensely enjoying this story which has so many layers. Amazing how a book written forty years ago may still be so relevant today. I will continue to pre order not only every book in this series but every F Paul Wilson book that is made available at Audible.

Excellent Performance of an Underappreciated Gem

Greg Tremblay does a wonderful job of bringing F Paul Wilson's sci-fi classic to life.
The adventures of Peter LaNague will be enjoyed by sci-fi readers for generations to come, but they are especially timely in 2020.
This is bound to be an audiobook that I relisten to on a regular basis.

Offworld anarchocapitalistic revolution

F Paul Wilson’s An Enemy of the State is an economic treatise wrapped in a novel. On a long-standing colonized world, distant from Earth, the governing entity has devolved into an ineffectual bureaucracy that is hanging on by unproductive deficit spending with ongoing currency debasement. While revolutionaries are intent on decapitating the government, a new player, LaNague, is planning a takeover by accelerating the economic collapse to bring about anarchocapitalism. His actions intersect with the more traditional revolutionaries.

Wilson is promoting a very specific economic philosophy and devotes a considerable amount of time to detailed explanations for his theories and practices. The execution of his strategies is well done and entertaining, although there is the tendency to drift into pedantic lectures.

The narration is well done with good character distinction. Pacing is a tad brisk.

I am sorry to report that I found the book boring

I hate to say this but the book is so boring to me that I couldn't keep my mind on the reading.
