Freedom City
By Philip Becnel
Genre: Contemporary fiction
FREEDOM CITY is an anti-Trump satire that pays homage to The Monkey Wrench Gang.
After Donald Trump unceremoniously dies from natural causes, four misfits from Washington, D.C. who call themselves the Fearless Vampire Killers sever the heads of Confederate statues and wage a comedic guerrilla war on post-Trump America. When President Pence enlists droves of fascist volunteers to crush the “alt-left” uprising, the rebels must risk their lives to run the fascists out of D.C.
What follows is not only a battle for survival—but a desperate search for remnants of what once made America great.

About the Author
I was born in San Francisco and raised in Cotati, California, but I spent my formative years in New Orleans and then Northern Virginia. I now live in Washington, D.C., where I’ve been a private detective for almost twenty years.
FREEDOM CITY, an anti-Trump satire about resistance to American fascism, is my debut novel, but some years ago I published two nonfiction books about investigating: Introduction to Conducting Private Investigations and Principles of Investigative Documentation. I’ve also published articles in a variety of legal and popular journals, including Time Magazine.
My Review
5 Stars
President Trump has died and President Pence is about to take over the control of our country. But a group of four that calls themselves the Fearless Vampire Killers have decided to wage war on this America.
In this story, you have an alternate America and Trump has died. Of course you have people that are all worked up about his presidency and how this country is supposedly going to hell in a hand basket. What ensues is a group hilariously trying to fight back against the government and what our country has become. If you can take a step back from the strong opinions of politics, you will enjoy this book. I had to step back and put a distance between myself and this book. I did enjoy it but will be honest that I probably would never have bought it on my own. I think it is a book you will either love or hate, but one that you should consider checking out.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
Excerpt
Despite the odium and widespread condemnation of Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, he passed with all the fanfare of a fart in a mesh sack. Medical examiners said it was a thrombotic stroke, likely exacerbated by obesity and high blood pressure. Some said cocaine and opioids had been found in his system, but these reports were never confirmed. Trump was dead, and now it was time to start glossing over his dismal legacy and perpetuating his vision, posthumously, for Making America Great Again…
