Relation As Books Balance of Power (Kerry Kilcannon #3)

Kerry Kilcannon, President of the United States is the quintessential fictional image of a Kennedy like president—had he of course, come from a poor background with an Irish American cop for a father that beat his mother with some regularity. Kilcannon is, however, handsome, extremely intelligent, politically astute and unshakable in the pursuit of his ideals. Although divorced he pursues and marries a beautiful Hispanic TV reporter and then is immediately confronted with a family tragedy as his new wife’s brother-in-law shoots and kills his estranged wife as well as her mother and another sister. Kilcannon and his new wife are devastated with grief and guilt as it becomes apparent that his position as well as his advice to the dead sister was a factor in the murder. Kilcannon and his wife Laura begin a campaign to change gun laws in the U.S. but are immediately confronted by the Sons of the Second Amendment (SSA), the most powerful lobby in Washington. The story rapidly becomes entangled in the intrigue and minutia of the legislative and legal system as the Kilcannons’ find that when political power is at stake nothing is out of bounds including blackmail and potential personal scandal. The combination of judicial indifference and regulatory permissiveness is all too familiar in revealing the political chicanery that often assures that the many of the nation’s elected representatives are in the pockets of an evermore exclusive minority of plutocrats. The novel may be fiction but unfortunately the infighting and political methodology rings true.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books Balance of Power (Kerry Kilcannon #3)

Thought provoking book on politics, guns and tort reform. Loved it.

Richard North Patterson writes well and I've loved most of his books. I read this one a while ago and would like to re-read before locking in a review.

I finish this book as the country is once more embroiled in a seemingly pointless debate about gun control. This book was written in 2003, and since then, there has been ZERO movement to bring our violent culture under control. The challenges remain the same... Politics, power and money take precedence over the safety of the citizenry. I am sure that in today's Washington DC, the machinations of Senators, Congressmen, and the NRA (thinly veiled in this book as the SSA) is just as sickeningly

This book is agit-prop for gun control. Loaded with startling fact about gun violence. It falls somewhat short on the story side, but still better than 75% of political thriller nonsense available. I believe we all need to express our views on the outrageous amount of gun violence in America. As a young man I grew up in a hunting family and owned several guns. I was a member of the NRA. I volunteered for the Army. My godfather was a gunsmith and a member of the Presidents 100. I have forsaken

I probably read this book about 10 years ago, I will read the series in the future for the second time. Like I mentioned on all the other books, this is one of my favorite authors.

Once again Patterson takes on a current issue and makes one evaluate their own stand. This time it is the gun lobby and the second amendment. What exactly was meant by the "right to bear arms' and how does that fit in with 200 years of technologic growth.

longer than I would have liked in the unabridged version
