I, Martha Adams

Although some might call this book a failed prophecy (as indeed some have called Orwell's "1984"), this was a warning of what MIGHT happen, at the height of the Cold War, if certain philosophies gained control of the government. Recommended!

I've owned an original 1986 copy of this book for about 2 years and continue to read its engaging account of an oppressed America and one woman's fight to reclaim her country from Communist takeover. Astutely detailed, fictional accounts of worldwide events and characters give this book an energetic pace drawing the reader on to read more and more. Anyone lucky enough to find a copy of this book should be pleasantly surprised and relieved its harrowing story never came to be.

I realize that this book is out of print, my copy was from the 1986 publishing. I have found it to be one of the most entertaining books I have read. It is one of the few books of this nature I have recommended to outsiders to read. I have even lent my copy out which is something I never do. The story is as old as time and like so many in that catagory you never get tired of them. The hero in this story turns out to be a woman and even by her thoughts not one you would expect. The story is well written and held my attention (every time I have read it). Even though you may feel you know what is going to happen (it dosen't always)it is still a surprise. All those I have lent this book to have enjoyed it as much as I have. If you can find a copy get it and read it you will not be disappointed.
