A review by kittarlin
Empire by Orson Scott Card

3.0

A bit heavy on the cautionary side of "cautionary tale" for my taste - sort of felt like a strange form of propaganda. [b:Little Brother|954674|Little Brother|Cory Doctorow|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349673129s/954674.jpg|939584] was much more frightening and realistic seeming. Empire reads like a half-season of 24, and it's likely the similarity was enough to compromise the realism the author was going for.
