Review for
To Gain the Motherland
by Rick Baber

Sometime after lunch, you wonder how John and David are faring, devising ways that you could help, or wondering if you'll see them later. Suddenly, you stop what you're doing, and laugh at yourself, realizing that you're thinking about a book's characters. The sign of truly good storytelling is that you find yourself, through the course of your day, thinking about the characters and what they are doing.

To Gain the Motherland by Rick Baber caused this to happen to me about 8 times. I thoroughly enjoyed my romp through the near future with the heroes in this tale of boiled-down realities. Rife with action, vivid post-near apocalyptic societal descriptions, human interaction on human levels, and of course humor (it wouldn't be a Baber creation without it) To Gain the Motherland is a sure winner. Personally, I can't wait for the movie.
