Nuttall has emerged as one of my favorite authors since I first read one of his works some 15 months ago. Dynamic in the best word I can think of to describe his style; he captures your attention from the beginning, populates his stories with characters you can invest in and places them in situations you can identify with. Beyond his craftsmanship is his ability to create scenarios which you can easily extrapolate from today's situations and events! Finally, the afterword (found in most of his books) is brilliant commentary on the thoughts, social, political and military, that underpin his writing. This guy (and his books) is scary good!Product details

Democracy Right Democracy Right Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Christopher G Nuttall Johnny Heller Podium Publishing Books Reviews
I was kind of hesitant to purchase this book bur I was sure glad I did. Everything in a space opera all packed in to one book; revenge, honor, treason, action, suspense, turmoil, greed, espionage and most of all fun to read. No spoiler alerts from me on this book, you will just have to buy it to judge for yourself. It had me on the edge of my seat at every turn of the page. I did not realize how long the novel was and I had that love/hate relationship with it. It was exciting to read that I did not want it to end but the same time I was like "damn this is a long book" but in the end I read it in two days. And who would have figured that I went out and bought the second book.
There was some grammar errors and misused words but not enough to take away from the book.
This is the start of another bang up series. Being British Chris brings insights to the subject of the fall of Empire that we Americans don't have as part of our national Psyche.
The writing is good, the action intense and Chris' character development is excellent with equal depth rendered to both the male and female characters on both sides of the conflict. He made me even like some of the Imperial leaders.
All of Chris' Imperial stories sound a chilling warning about the kind of wealth based oligarchic, utopian socialist system that the progressive politicians are striving to create here in the US. It makes me realize just how likely we Americans are to follow England down that path to classist ruin.
I for one can't wait for the next novel in this series. In particular I want to see how Chris folds this series into the other novels in his Imperial collapse story universe. Keep at it Chris.
You may start to wonder "in how many ways can one cover the fall of Rome?" Nuttall seems to like this theme and variations of it a great deal. I can't blame him; more often than not hit hits the bases and occasionally he hits one 'out of the park'.
I like the Space Opera theme of one man's battle against an evil Empire that is crumbling under its own ponderous weight. It makes for a fun read when done well and can even be tolerable when done with mediocrity.
This effort from Nuttall is not mediocre; it is fast paced with some interesting and some despicable characters. There is plenty of military action and an unique take on an Empire with no Emperor... . The use and abuse of patronage in this Empire makes for opponents as formidable as they are corrupt. The requirement of patronage to succeed crushes rebellion as efficiently as it fosters it and the threat, whether real or imagined, of an alien force lurking beyond the Rim helps keep the rest in check. What a diabolical and fun universe to explore!
After having spent some time reading books from other authors I recently went back and attacked my rather long list of unread works from Christopher Nuttall. As usual it was an enjoyable experience. Actually this time it was perhaps even more so than usual since this book was just my cup of tea.
The setting is one that is perhaps not too unusual when it comes to this author. An oppressive government/empire squeezes the life out of their citizens and things are about to break. Naturally this is where “a few good men” comes in and saves the day. Of course, saving the day do not mean stopping things from breaking. Rather the inverse actually. It is time to make sure that things do break so that it can be reworked in a less oppressive manner.
There are some similarities to Nuttall’s The Empire’s Corps series (I have only read the first two in that series though, the rest are on my list) and judging from the book blurb also to at least one other book from the author that I have not yet read. However, as far as I am concerned, this book starts off and continues in a much more positive manner than The Empire’s Corps which is one reason that I really liked it. Our heroes starts off by kicking the butts of the imperial dimwits and continues to do so throughout the book. That is not to say that everything always goes the way of the good guys but compared to the exile business in The Empire’s Corps this one is much more happy story…so far at least.
The book also contains a fair amount of good and solid fleet action with capital ships slugging it out. That is one of my favorite kind of stories and obviously another reason why I like the book. The fleet action is quite well done and as realistic as one can expect from a work of science fiction. I really did enjoy these parts of the book. The Geeks, a faction of humans, outlawed by the Empire, that are tech centric, is a nice addition to the combat equation as well. Although their contribution to the war effort was limited compared to what was hinted to in the book as future possibilities it was already significant. I would really like to see the Geeks give the Imperial dimwits and their overinflated egos a few more surprises. I quite like these wow-moments.
Mr. Nuttall have always been able to write characters that I liked (at least in the books that I have read so far) and which have attracted my interest. This book is no exception. The good guys are likable and the bad guys are as despicable as they should be. Speaking of the bad guys, this is another thing I really liked about this book. The bad guys (well, at least the main bad guy in this instalment of the series) do get the ass-whopping that they deserve and it is not just quickly glossed over either.
I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. Usually I try to flip back and forth between authors and between Science Fiction and Fantasy to make my reading a bit diversified but this time I just have to read the next instalment right away.
Nuttall has emerged as one of my favorite authors since I first read one of his works some 15 months ago. Dynamic in the best word I can think of to describe his style; he captures your attention from the beginning, populates his stories with characters you can invest in and places them in situations you can identify with.
