Tea anyone? After decades of erosion of the U.S. Constitution, the United States is faced with a major constitutional crisis not seen since the Civil War. A president and his administration filled with scandals and plagued by economic woes surprisingly wins re-election to a second term largely based on an "October Surprise" and the promise of redistribution of the nation's wealth. The night he is re-elected, an assassination attempt throws America into chaos, resulting in riots, food shortages and violence across the country. When it is discovered the assassin has ties to the Tea Party, the administration sees its opportunity to quash its political opposition and launch a diabolical conspiracy to hide the truth of the assassin's real motives. The President and his minions attempt to keep the lid on the conspiracy by any means necessary, including issuing unconstitutional executive orders.
Jack-booted federal agents are ordered to raid private citizens' homes to eradicate the Tea Party once and for all. After an ordinary citizen in Texas, a founder of a local Tea Party, is terrorized and held without due process, the governor of Texas dispatches iconic Texas legend Pops Younger to rescue him. The entire country becomes riveted in the suspense of the high-stakes chess game that pits the State of Texas and the Texas Rangers against the administration and the ATF that escalates to unprecedented proportions. An exciting and fast-paced political thriller, Patriots of Treason presents a very realistic 'what if' scenario that will keep you on the edge of your seat, regardless of your political persuasion.

I just completed his first book "Patriots of Treason" and it was fantastic. I often hear people talk about how a book was such a "page turner" and how they "couldn't put it down," but rarely have I ever felt that way about a book. I even noticed those were some of the comments on the backcover copy. I must say, however, that I am in total agreement this time as I picked it up Sunday afternoon and finished it Monday evening (I actually had to put it down, but I didn't want to).The pace of the story was incredible, but it did not lose any of the character development. Also, while the story as a whole seems initially to be so far fetched, as Roberts moves the reader through each move made, the reactions are entirely believable thus making the entire story so seemingly plausible. It was also extremely thought provoking about picking sides and loyalty, making one realize how the founding fathers must have felt or those in the South felt in the lead up to the Civil War. I also love it when authors use opening quotes for each chapter, but never have the quotes fit the chapters so well, and that was for all 50 chapters.
And, since I had originally saw the second book first, and then realized it was a sequel, I ordered both at the same time, so I am looking forward to the next book.

Patriots of Treason (Audible Audio Edition) David Thomas Roberts Kelly Klaas Books Reviews
I struggled to start Patriots of Treason because of the author's obvious lack of knowledge regarding military aviation. There is no such aircraft as an F-151. Military aircraft whose identifier starts with a "C" are cargo aircraft, not fighters. There were two different bombs entitled "bunker buster". F-15s, F-16s, and F-22s cannot be launched or recovered to an aircraft carrier.
Elsewhere he places Air Force One at Midway Airport in Chicago. That would never happen. The runways are too short. AF1 would land in O'Hare. Toward the end of the book, he has the Governor of Texas on a conference call with Senate Minority Leader McConnell. He is demanding a vote on impeachment. The problem is that the Senate has nothing to do with impeachment until the House brings the articles of impeachment. Then, and only then, does the Senate have a trial.
But I pressed through these inaccuracies and was soon engrossed in a compelling story that could easily become tomorrow's news. If you can forgive these problems, you will find the book to be a page-turner with characters who are easily identifiable with today's politicians and situations. The message of the need for bravery and courage in the face of an increasingly socialist federal government is illustrated well.
A book every patriot should read. I can't wait to read the next one. Will pass this on to my friends.
I just finished this book, and it has been very hard to put down. I wasn’t dazzled by the author’s writing ability or style, but the premise and content held my interest. Once things really got moving between the State of Texas (supporting Tea Party activists illegally detained by federal agencies) and DC, it was especially hard to put down. I eagerly devoured this book whenever I found a sliver of spare time; I just couldn’t wait to see what happened next! Being a big supporter of the 10th amendment and states’ rights, it was refreshing to see a story where the secessionists weren’t portrayed as the villains. I enjoyed this book right to the very end (and was hoping for more!) – I hope Mr. Roberts has completed or is at least in the process of completing a sequel to this book. It deserves a “part 2.”
A few issues I have with the particulars…
- When the Texas Rangers went onto a US Air Force base to rescue illegally detained Tea Party member Chuck Dixon, they easily overcame and disarmed the federal agents guarding him. I can buy that. (But why did the gate guards admit them onto the base in the first place?) When the base security forces responded to the incident, they were simply bystanders, apparently awed by the sight of Texas Rangers. I’ve grown up hearing stories about the infamous Texas Rangers, and I think that the lone star, rugged, Marlboro Man image is a stereotypical view a lot of us have of them – but I’ve also known guys who were USAF security forces. They wouldn’t have been awed by Texas Rangers nor any other form of civilian law enforcement – they would have taken control of the situation, and if met with resistance, it would be a short fight. No matter how romanticized the idea of a brave TX Ranger with his side arm facing danger, they’d be no match for a determined USAF security forces squad with M4s.
- As tensions between Austin and DC escalate, very little mention is made of the Texas Army National Guard. The Air Guard was mentioned when the lack of federal air cover was explained, but what of the army guard? If the Johnson administration wanted to create divisions within Texas, he would have nationalized the National Guard and ordered it to move against its own state government. If they’d refused a nationalization order collectively, and followed renegade Governor Brent Cooper, then I’d accept that in this story. Why no mention of this factor? (had they obeyed federal orders, then DC would have successfully engineered an internal civil war in Texas between a nationalized state force against state forces exempt from federal authority and loyal to the governor)
- Page 209 makes the first mention of the Texas State Guard “Texas is the only state that maintains a state militia under the governor’s direct command.” This is not true – they are not the only state. I don’t know if he decided to ignore the other states with active State Guards or State Defense Forces for the sake of the story or maybe his research was mistaken – but many states have these non-Federal military reserve forces on call. I’ve been a member of my state’s defense force for seven years, so I know how little the public knows about such organizations. It’s nice to see a SDF or State Guard mentioned anywhere, just to raise public awareness that such things really do exist. I’ve communicated with others in such organizations across the US, including troops of the Texas State Guard. Their air wing does not possess armed Apache helicopters or F-16s. Although it makes for a more interesting scenario, I just wanted to clarify for any Texans who wanted to apply for enlistment in the Texas State Guard in hopes of becoming an Apache or F-16 pilot.
This book was a fun ride (I really enjoyed the quotes at the beginning of each chapter –which were especially short, I noticed). I’m eagerly looking forward to this novel’s sequel! Will the State of Texas raise its head to join the earth’s family of nations as its own republic? Will its military forces be able to defend their territory from certain attack? Will the rest of the south go for the door too?
This book is highly recommended for anyone concerned about the future of this country.
Don't start reading this book late in the evening if you plan to get up for work the next day. I started reading is at 500 PM one day and couldn't put it down. The next thing I knew the bright light that was shining through the bedroom window wasn't the moon but the morning sun. This is a must read for all Texans or others in surrounding countries concerned about the over reach of our Federal Government.
Timely, relevant and fast paced. I read it in six hours! couldn't put it down. Can't say enough great things about it. You need to read this, you owe it to yourself!
If only it were real. America better wake up to the real corruption in Washington. Republicans better show they have the fortitude to fight back against the current leftist administration
Dave nails the character of Texas in this novel. It, along with its sequel Patriots of Treason, are so authentic you forget they are novels and can easily think of them as real. As a traveler in Texas, I know the people and places he references, and he is spot on. My only wish is that he would write a third and fourth in this series. I have re-read both several times and still enjoy them just as much as I did the first time.
