“So anyway, Kelly, I need to ask you something,” Junior said.
Turnbull chewed for a moment and then eyed him.
“What?” he said, picking up his beer and taking a swig.
“Well, Clay asked me to run something by you. Just an idea. Something important. Something only you could do. And this time, it’s going to be easy, a cakewalk. Now, you wouldn’t be going back in alone….”
Junior paused upon seeing his friend’s expression.
Kelly Turnbull swallowed before he spoke.
“Stop talking.”

PRAISE FOR
PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC
Kurt Schlichter’s People’s Republic is a surreal, fast-paced journey through a dramatically different America but less than a generation away: a flag with fewer stars, crack-shot Mormons, “militant climate change deniers,” trendy genericism, cat tacos, iPhone 16s, “the border in Kentucky”, rote protests, “Harry Reid International Airport” and eerie new definitions of “red lies”, “Indian country” and “the border wall with Mexico.” Violent, imaginative, full of mordant humor and dark, gritty details, you won’t want to live in this People’s Republic… but you’ll feel a chill as you wonder how different our real future will be.
The dystopian, Orwellian picture of an America gone mad in People’s Republic sounds too frightening to ever come true — until you realize that the leftism behind that dystopian picture has destroyed societies the world over. Read this chilling book and learn the true cost of leftist policy.
My friend Kurt Schlichter — attorney, Army vet, and compelling writer — has written a thought-provoking action thriller set against the backdrop of a shattered America. If you are trying to make the case to your politically disengaged friends about the dangers of the growing attacks on the rule of law, People’s Republic is Exhibit A.
People’s Republic is a well-written, action-packed political thriller that cleverly shreds progressive hypocrisy in a multitude of ways. Kurt successfully did what our mutual friend Andrew Breitbart advised that conservatives do: Get out there and compete in the world of popular culture!
They say conservatives are terrible storytellers, but Kurt Schlichter destroys that stereotype in his new novel People’s Republic and issues a dire warning about the future of America. But do not fear, we can still change course and this page turner will embolden the country to take action and do so.
The fast paced action of a Brad Thor thriller blended with a dystopian future worthy of Orwell. Kurt Schlichter’s People’s Republic is a roller coaster ride through a post-election Hellscape that will leave you wanting more.
“So, what’s the worst that could happen?” So say the folks who don’t pay much attention to politics, candidates, elections, courts. The real answer is: Lots you don’t want to think about, unimaginable things that come out of nowhere. Schlichter puts a whole flight of Black Swans in the air — each of them plausible — and the result is a riveting, page-turner, and a demand from Schlichter for… more.
