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.

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…
