"Mr. Akart brings together political history, technology, geopolitics, and current events into a vast and intriguing story ." Franklin Horton , Author of The Borrowed World Series" Bobby Akart has quickly developed into a MUST READ author. His knowledge of history, law, preparedness, and literature coalesces into a fantastic series of novels." - Tom Abrahams , Veteran Television Journalist and Author of Home"A cracking great start to an epic new series that is going to have many, many loyal followers." - Murray McDonald , best selling author of America's Trust and The God Complex " A terrifyingly realistic, prescient new series ... which can only be described as prophetic.

" - R. E. McDermott, Author of The Dugan Thrillers "The authors spend a good portion of book one setting up the collapse scenarios.

I'm so looking forward to his upcoming novels. He's a writer to watch! " - A R Shaw , Author of the Graham's Resolution series "Based on historical events and today's current events, The Loyal Nine is a must read. " - Survivor Jane author of "What Could Possibly Go Wrong??? " Interesting and original. 'Ripped from the headlines' doesn't begin to describe the excellence in this writing. " - Amazon Top 500 Reviewer Works of fiction are frequently based upon historical fact. In the case of Book One of The Boston Brahmin Series , The Loyal Nine , and the entire Boston Brahmin Series, history repeats itself. The Loyal Nine takes its name from nine patriotic Bostonians who chose freedom over the tyrannical rule of Great Britain. As the British exerted more control over the colonists, especially in the form of taxes, anger and resentment rose to a crescendo, resulting in the War for Independence. Author Bobby Akart has observed similar acts of rage and discontent in America today. Sadly, they perceive an America which is in decline socially and economically. There are many perspectives and theories all across the political spectrum on how to save her. Methods may differ, but does it matter if the ultimate goal is achieved?The Boston Brahmin series will take the reader on a journey based in historical fact--both in its character development and the events that take place during the timeline of the series. This is a series about the societal and economic collapse of America. This type of collapse event is gradual and not sudden. The events portrayed in The Boston Brahmin series will rise to a crescendo, forcing the characters to make a decision--choose tyranny or freedom. They will be challenged physically and emotionally. As always, nothing is exactly what it seems.Writing a series of this magnitude takes a considerable amount of time and research. It also asks the reader to become invested in the journey of the characters. Creating a book series about societal and economic collapse is a marathon, not a sprint. Read with us. Learn with us.

It is so bad I just had to write a review to warn ...

It is so bad I just had to write a review to warn others, The writing is right out of the most right wing perspective and the assumptions that only the rich and highly educated people can save the great American Way. Truly a waste of money and time!

The book was disjointed and confusing, though the writer has a promising style

I have read several Konkoly books and enjoyed them. This one missed the mark, perhaps because of the inexperienced coauthor. It seemed more like a disjointed collection of poorly edited essays, with a plotline that was tempting but disappointingly incoherent. It alternated between lessons on Bostonian history, the problems with fiat currency finance ( though I can learn more about those by reading Peter Schiff blogs and books), unnecessarily detailed Ukrainian rebel action sequences, critiques of Black Lives Matter antics, discussions of the importance and nobility of old New England families ( I guess other Americans would not care about the fate of their country as much), sexual flirtations emphasizing the exceptional beauty of the female characters, weird election conspiracies, and what are supposed to be prepping basics. The latter had some major flaws -- are we really supposed to believe that a band of a dozen plus people would plan to survive an apocalyptic event in a luxury high rise for over two years with just storage supplies, including 100,000 gallons of storage water in " a room" as their only source? Do the math, wouldn't the highrise floor collapse?
POSSIBLE SPOILER: After all the buildup of how the protaganists are supposed to be against big government and worried about excess spending, In Chapter 56 of the audiobook, we hear the Brahman 9 ( the leader of whom is connected to the prepper families ) decide they want Hillary Clinton to be president in 2016 to preserve the "status quo", ruling out Rand Paul and Jeb Bush because they have their electability problems. Really? Hillary is the only option? No one else these "patriots" could have considered, even if you buy into the idea that a small group of insiders controls elections?
Having said this, I enjoyed much of the humor and sense of absurdity conveyed in the book, such as in the description of what different news channels choose to broadcast, the hypocrisy of "protest" groups, and the description of how quickly civility could deteriorate, as in the Las Vegas blackout. I hope the sequels are better edited and have more coherent plotlines.

Too much unnecessary vulgarity!

This is a BIG disappointment. The story line is ruined by all the vulgar language. Liked his other series but I don't know if I can stomach this one. :(

Get ready to read our scary future.

I really enjoyed this book and as much as I enjoyed it I also felt that the story was spot on dealing with what is going on in the world today. Its a terrifying look at what goes on in the world and how money can make such big decisions. There were moments, as I read, that I felt the author actually had a person on the inside who was leaking info. It's uncanny how the things in the book ad being played out in the real world. I love his detail and the history lesson you get reading this story. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

The perfect survival marriage of suspense, intrigue, mystery and everything else that makes the reader unable to pull away.

I've known Bobby for some time now, and I've been a fan of Steven Konkoly's writing for years. When I heard they were teaming up on a project, well, I just had to get my hands on a copy.

I'm impressed gentlemen, you did a great job of mixing geopolitics, with murder mystery with prepping novel, all without sounding like total tin foil hat conspiracy theorists!

The best part of the book, by far, is the character development and the educated and well informed cast members. Unfortunately, a lot of survival fiction gets hung up on inserting the name brand gadgets everyone wants to have, and just vaguely touching on actual world or cultural events of the day. Akart and Konkoly do a spectacular job of marrying past present and future into an exciting suspenseful, yet educational and methodically thought out novel that keeps your attention from the very first page. They also manage to talk about prepping and survival in a very nonchalant way, that makes it seem just as normal as fishing on Sunday with your grandparents. Will the majority of Americans have all the whiz bang cool stuff the characters do? Of course not, but the characters are still likeable in their own ways, and there's still that subtle push to think about your own personal situation while you're reading this book.

Overall, this book steals from several different genres, and combines them into a fast paced novel that will get you hooked. Can't wait to get my hands on book two!

First installment of a great series

If you are looking for a great series to read look no further. Along with biographies dystopian fiction, teotwawki specific draws most of my reading the last few years. Many of these tell a good story but lack the character development or are simply predictable. Bobby Akart's books are as well written as anyone in this genre. Great stories, excellent character development, believable story lines and well edited. It becomes frustrating to read what could be a good story only to find out the author / editor dropped the ball on character flow and development not to mention poor punctuation. If you're a serious kindle reader you know what I mean. Thankfully you will find none of those issues here. Professional work from start to finish, usually with cliffhangers that have you plugging the next installments rekease date in your calendar. He also does a great job of recapping the previous installments in each series so you feel like you just finished the last book when you start a new one. Well done!

Bob @ Platypire Reviews

*I received a copy of this book for an honest review*

The government pulling the strings behind chaos is not something I'm accustomed to reading in fiction, but I have to say that I enjoyed it. I admit that at times I got a bit lost, but it was mostly explained quite well. The story and build up were great, and I'm getting ready to dive into Cyber Attack, the next book in the series. Now, the characters left a bit to be desired, BUT, we're being introduced to several at once, as this is the first in a series, and I still enjoyed them.

I listened to the audible, and the narrator is very clear and concise, with a pleasant voice and good tempo.

Bob says: something like 3.75 stars!

Pure Electricity

I am thrilled by Joel C. Rosenburg’s amazing work. Yet, I am BLOWN AWAY by the amazing, detail-rich, prescient transparency that these events truly could occur - right at this moment! As I look with admiration to the Founding Fathers, I look with pure electricity flowing through me at the Boston Brahmin and their race against time to preserve our great nation. I have read widely and deeply, and no other authors comes close to the power of this series! If you begin just one thriller series this year, I wholeheartedly recommend you move as fast as you can toward your copy of The Loyal Nine. You may never sleep peacefully again!
