"“Filled with concepts and challenges so increasingly familiar in today’s chaotic world, Revolution Empire presents a thought-provoking and inspiring lesson into the often brutal truth of absolute power and the preciousness of the freedom that can defeat it.” -- <B>April Thome</B>, Director, KATS; Founder of HomeLink Yakima, a leading homeschool curriculum, training, and support program “Serious though its themes are, Revolution Empire is above all entertaining. Highly readable. It will find a big audience and so its ideas will be deservedly spread wide. Stories like Revolution Empire give us hope that the young will leave behind a better world than that which previous generations have handed them.” -- <B>Geale Peter Lawrence</B>, Author, Screenwriter, Producer “Revolution Empire: Book One is an immersive and quite subversive tale…. To pull the reader deep into a web of dystopian oppression and thrilling intrigue, Rob has created a strange new world that will be eerily familiar to careful readers and students of history…. By the conclusion of Book One, readers will be eager to join forces with Donovan the Sewer Rat as they learn one of life’s most important lessons, ‘Freedom is not given. It is taken.’"" -- <B>H. Kirk Bozigian</B>, Practitioner Faculty of Marketing, Providence College; Former Vice President of Marketing, Hasbro, Inc."
