Query: A Total Mess

Empire is such a mess of a work that I'm not entirely sure that Orson Scott Card really wrote it. You'd like to believe that such a slipshod offering was ghostwritten by someone else to whom Card merely lent his name for marketing reasons.This book contemplates a revolt by forces secretly financed by a very poorly disguised George Soros. The book is so poorly written and conceived that it is unconvincing in all respects. Empire reads more like right-wing fan fiction than anything else. It's like a sci-fi pulp version of the Turner Diaries.Definitely give it a skip. Glad I got it at the outlet, at least.
