An Alternative History Novel, Book 1

De: David Niall Wilson, Patricia Lee Macomber

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

Something very strange is going on in Bowling Green, Kentucky. A masked terrorist attacks a local politician and a news reporter at a minor league baseball game. A Gay Pride parade is bombed. A veteran's home is invaded and taken over by new ownership, and every resident that is not Caucasian has suddenly...disappeared.

Krump Enterprises, run by Ronald Krump and his assistant, Race Scanlon, have begun a systematic takeover of the city, spreading rumors about immigrant violence, tearing down horse farms to build a country club, blackmailing the mayor, and much, much worse.

It's up to Police Chief Hannity, Dr. Abner Brody, a reporter named Lauren Kelly, a stoner named Walt, and Frederick Douglass, time traveler, to track down the truth, and stop Krump before the city falls under his sway, and even darker days prevail.

Ronald Krump seems like someone familiar!

Bowling Green is a quaint town in Kentucky. Ronald Krump decides to move into to the town and start building big thing. great things, the best things. About the same time, strange things began happening. a murder at the local baseball game, bombs at the parade, and a missing float full of people. If this were not enough Dr. Brody gets kicked out of Veterans Home where he faithfully serves as director. He cares deeply for his patients and when some of the non-white patients begin to disappear he tries to figure out where they were taking. This book is full of some great characters like Ronald Krump with his tiny hands whose ultimate goal is to "Make Bowling Green Awesome", Barbie Conroy who is Mr. Krump's Public Relations officer, Frederick Douglass plays a comical role of instigator, to all of Krump's family.

Walt who takes care of the park in Bowling green and when is not doing that is usually getting drunk or stoned begins to turn his life around upon meeting Frederick Douglass. Douglas takes pride in educating people and gives Walt a couple of his books. Walt realizes it is time to grow up to throw away the carefree lifestyle and start living with a purpose.

Krump would have probably gotten away with everything from building a wall to keep people out of his country club, the deportation of non-white Americans, the complete screwing over of the city of Bowling Green. But when good people stand up against corruption they can truly keep America great.

Mirror of our times.

Can't remember any recent book, but this one is a tiny bit like Animal Farm.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Political Satire and Alternate "History" - I like both of these genres. Remember Bowling Green combines both of these and serves an engaging & thought provoking premise. The story isn't far removed from reality. For example - "A terrorist attacks a local politician at a minor league baseball game."... omfg... that happened IRL just yesterday...!!

Any additional comments?

I received a free copy of this book from the author / narrator / publisher and I'm leaving an unbiased review.

This isn't as funny as it sounds.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
From the beginning I thought this book would be hilarious and in some was it certainly is. That being said, I felt a kind of dread while listening rivaling that of an apocalypse story. Mimicking the devisiveness of todays current political divide, I found it kind of heartbreaking. Well written and narrated though.

Remember Bowling Green

This is a hilarious tale of Bowling Green Kentucky,where a maniacal tycoon is trying to buy up the city.His name is Ronald Crump...uh huh. He has everyone in his pocket save a few people who set out to find out what he is doing with the people disappearing from the places he takes over.Frederick Douglas appears to a druggie and they pop back and forth in time to get rid of Crump.It is a fun book.Peter Berkot was a fine narrator.I was provided this book by the author ,narrator or publisher.

Disappointing

And dull. I was hoping for humorous satire, what I got was a dull C- story from Ms. McMenain’s 8th Grade writing class. Narration was great though
