A song of Independence is a compilation of stories that are mostly fiction but are right on the border line of being eerily true. There are eleven different stories known as books in Charles Copeland’s writings. Some of the earlier books are based on characters created by humans or the humans creating characters in video games or internet and the results usually involve backfiring on the unsuspecting victim. The middle to end stories focus on the New World Order … frightening how real those are.

I wish I could elaborate on each book individually but then the review would never be finished. So I will choose a couple that were the most interesting to me. In book two, a husband and wife had different views of how the characters and rules were supposed to be played in the Sims computer game. The wife wanted to play by the rules while her husband wanted to trap characters in a small room to wait for death so that he could collect their earnings and possessions. There are reasons for rules, and Carl learns the hard way.

Book six was also a favorite of mine, in Atlantic City there are cats everywhere. And with an operation called OMEGA, you better not feed the stray cats … or you may just end up being one. Book seven was an eye opener of sorts, talking about how justice tends to be blind. A little girl abducted and murdered on her eight birthday by a priest none the less was one person who could have actually made the future a little brighter. But not now, the little girl’s father learned a lesson, but the priest must also learn too; don’t take something that can never be put back.

Ok, I know I said a couple but I have one more that I must lavish upon. Book eleven, the very last one. If you were to awaken one morning and everyone in the world including your wife were dead because the world came to an end, what would you do? Foxx would go to the liquor store and stock up on whiskey and coke. He would later be joined by a woman, would they repopulate the world?

Charles Copeland is an extraordinary author that gets the wheels in your brain turning. His truths about the New World Order and other beliefs shine through. Most of the stories had bits and pieces of humor that I found very enjoyable. Wonderfully detailed and imaginative story lines, make for a fantastic read. Great job, Mr. Copeland! 5 Hearts!
