Author Steve Hirst has written a very penetrating and captivating novel about crime, corruption, eco-terrorism, and the eventual reunion of two Native American children who were separated at birth. “Liberation Front” is set in Southwest Utah where it begins with the murder of a Native American who loves and respects the land upon which he lives. Steve Hirst then takes the reader through an intriguing plot that involves more murder, eco-crimes, culture conflict, and on to an exciting conclusion. Regardless of what anyone may think of environmental crimes, the author skillfully manages to expertly develop his plot and portray his characters in ways that strike a balance between modern-day development and environmental concerns while simultaneously telling an interesting story about human relationships and the triumph of justice. “Liberation Front” is an excellent work that demonstrates the author’s unique ability to bridge the gaps between mystery, intrigue, environmentalism, and Native American lore. If you enjoy stories about crime, punishment, and justice for the guilty as well as the innocent, you should definitely read “Liberation Front.” _________________ Jim Elders, author and book critic. |
