Today we are book Bombing Bombing Conservative Insurgency!
For those of you new to Book Bombing, how it works is that we get as many people as possible to buy a book on the same day in order to bump up the Amazon sales rating. The higher the book gets, the more people see it, the more people buy the book, the more it boosts the author. And the most important thing is that the author GETS PAID.
Some of you may remember Kurt from this FOX News bit:http://www.ijreview.com/2014/05/139340-thats-fantastic-watch-army-colonels-epic-takedown-white-privilege-leave-fox-anchor-speechless/I’ve known Kurt on Twitter for a couple years. He is a no holds barred master of annoying the hell out of statist bullies. Normally my Book Bombs are for sci-fi, fantasy, that sort of thing, but this time I’m going political. Think of this as World War Z (the book, not the movie) only for libprogs instead of zombies.
Right now it is at:
- Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #34,244 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
EDIT: We are creeping up.
- Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #24,563 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
And so is the Kindle version
- Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #16,919 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
- #3 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > Politics & Social Sciences > Politics & Government > Specific Topics > Political Freedom
- #7 in Books > Politics & Social Sciences > Politics & Government > Specific Topics > Political Freedom
- #24 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > Politics & Social Sciences > Politics & Government > Ideologies & Doctrines
So please tell your friends!
EDIT: Still moving up slowly, but not like I’d like. Having never done a political book before, I’ve got zero idea what to expect.

And the ebook did pretty darn good.

Awesome day for it. SCOTUS is looking good today.
“Think of this as World War Z (the book, not the movie) only for libprogs instead of zombies.” I was unaware there was a difference.
So. . .it’s World War O ????? (evil grin)
It warms my shriveled little heart that you go out of your way like this to assist other authors! I’ll have to save my pennies to grab more book bomb stuff! 🙂
OK, book bought.
Done and done.
Checking out Schlichter now!
Re the SCOTUS ruling, it’s amazing how hard we had to fight to get even this small win… but I’m damn sure going to keep fighting for future wins!
Got it, up to 21,029 as 10:54 mountain time.
Oh, this looks goooooooood…. off to buy (and I’m seeing g it’s already come up to the 18k range in rankings ….
Bomb deployed, rank at 18,894 10:16 PDT.
Weird… now it’s in the #24l rankings. Perhaps I misread?
Two different rankings: 1 for the Dead Tree version, 1 for the E-Book.
E-book rating was higher, last I looked.
Thanks; I only figured that out after Larry posted the update [facepalm] 😉
Mine arrived today. Can you comp Kurt a couple of chapters with more violence? Many thanks.
Went and checked out a sample from the kindle store. I like the writing style – smooth and engaging. But I’m leery of buying a preachy political tract. Can anyone confirm that there will be some “slice of life” or action sequences like there were in WWZ (enjoyed the book, despite *severe* issues with the political pov), or is it all political philosophy from different povs?
Got it. Now I have to find time to read it.

4988 in Kindle when I bought.
I don’t have a Kindle anymore, and as a rule I never buy hardcover books, but I like Kurt and had a make an order from Amazon anyway so I included his book on the order. Hope it helps and looking forward to reading it.
I bought it from Barnes and Noble for my Nook, so I did not help your book bomb, but it does help the overall book sales. Good luck.
Bought! Sorry it took so long, had a ridiculously busy day. But on the good side, it’s still going up!

I bought a Kindle copy thanks to a hat tip from John Wright’s blog. I read the Intorduction and Chapter 1 at lunch time today and found that Schlicter seems to be doing a good job executing his premise, which isn’t SF, of course, but is definitely an interesting piece of speculative fiction masquerading as a political tract (or is it the other way around?).
I’m really looking forward to continuing…
Well, it ought to get another boost: last night, it got Instalanched http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/191362/
Just got done reading it, I’ve got to say, I did not expect to see the shout out to Acting School with Nick Searcy although it makes sense in retrospect.
