People's Republic

Kelly Turnbull, Book 1

By: Kurt Schlichter

Narrated by: Tony Katz

America’s growing political and cultural divisions have finally split the United States apart. Now, as the former blue states begin to collapse under the dead weight of their politically correct tyranny, a lethal operative haunted by his violent past undertakes one last mission to infiltrate and take out his target in the nightmarish city of Los Angeles, deep in the heart of the People’s Republic of North America.

National Review’s Jim Geraghty calls Kurt Schlichter’s People’s Republic “a surreal, fast-paced journey through a dramatically different America but less than a generation away.... 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.”

Author and television host Cam Edwards says, “Kurt Schlichter's People's Republic is a roller coaster ride through a post-election Hellscape that will leave you wanting more.” Radio host Hugh Hewitt says, “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.”

People’s Republic is the first novel by Kurt Schlichter, a retired Army infantry colonel, a conservative radio and television commentator on the Fox networks and elsewhere, a Senior columnist at Townhall.com, and a popular and hilarious Twitter raconteur. He's also a trial lawyer, so he has an intimate understanding of evil and deception.

Radio host and commentator Ben Shapiro calls People’s Republic “chilling,” and author and columnist David Limbaugh calls it “a thought-provoking action thriller set against the backdrop of a shattered America.”

Fox News contributor and author Katie Pavlich says, “They say conservatives are terrible story tellers, but Kurt Schlichter destroys that stereotype in his new novel People's Republic and issues a dire warning about the future of America.”

As with his prior book Conservative Insurgency: The Struggle to Take America Back 2013-2041, People’s Republic takes today’s news, and projects the trends out into the future. Funny, frightening, and action-packed, People’s Republic is a thriller that will make you think, as well as keep you captivated.

No other books on Audible

Kurt Schlichter has 7 books in this series but only this one is available on Audible. I am visually impaired and I read/listen to books almost constantly but I don't like starting a book series if I can’t read/listen to it all as an Audible book.
So, I read this book yesterday; if only because most of the men I know are raving about it.
It is amazing how this book is almost prophetic. With all of what is happening, this year in general. At the end of this Audible book it says that you can get the rest of the books in this series as audible books but only on his website. I don’t think I will be doing that but, you never know. I will probably be more likely to get them if Audible picks them up and hopefully with a better narrator like Scott Brick or R.C. Bray.

Red vs. Blue

The politics, by virtue of the plot, are crazy thick. Red vs. Blue. It was amusing, but if you're blue, you will need to sit through hundreds of pages that are a poke in the eye. If you're a-political (or Red), the plot is creative and amusing.

Solid plot.

Narrator was subpar. Voice is just too high pitched and made feel like he was yelling at me the whole time.

Great Story

An action packed adventure that explores the dark eventualities of political correctness. I will read the whole series.

Finally!!!!

I have been waiting for this audiobook for a very long!!! I can’t wait for the other books to come out.

Kinda like Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacer

Fun premise. I will try another story featuring Kelly Turnbull but may get the paperback. Tony Katz’s reading reminded me of Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher. Just didn’t “feel” right

Fun, Fast Paced Ride.

The narrator talked a little fast. Good read, lots of great jokes, the portentous kind.

Great book, horrible narration.

JFC, the narrator sounds like he’s reading all caps. Like seriously just yelling through the whole story like the park ranger Carl from Parks and Rec. I thought the first version was bad, but this new read has me turning the volume all the way down.

FFS I’m listening to it now again as I write this. It sounds like my drunk brother in law on a Christmas eggnog rant reading a pompous article from the Atlantic in a sarcastic bellow. Is this for real or an epic troll by the author?

Can’t wait for the next book in the series. Hoping for a better narrator like Gilbert Godfrey or Eric Cartman.

Quick and Entertaining

Decent plot, can tell the writer isn’t as polished as some. The narrator is the biggest drawback, sounds like he’s yelling all the time.

Good with poor narration

The narrator was not so bad it ruined the story. I still found it enjoyable and recommend.
