Freedom Is For The Few Receives Five Stars from Readers' Favorite

Reviewed by Kristen A. Peters for Readers' Favorite

Freedom is For the Few by Robert E. Kearns follows Mitchell, a corporate titan who has already "won" at capitalism but finds himself bored with his billions in the bank. He wants a legacy that actually changes the course of history, so he starts a calculated mission to dismantle and then rebuild the American political machine from the ground up. The plot tracks his chilling, steady steps as he bypasses the usual democratic guardrails. He isn't looking for votes; he's looking for ways to replace elected officials with his own handpicked inner circle of elites. Kearns keeps the pressure high as his protagonist works to consolidate power, leaving the reader to watch the foundations of the Republic strain under the weight of one man’s massive ego.

I found Freedom is For the Few to be a genuinely haunting read. Robert E. Kearns makes the death of liberty feel quiet and methodical. The prose isn't flashy or weighed down by long-winded lectures. Instead, its blunt energy takes you through Mitchell’s rise at a breakneck pace. And what really got to me was how the author shows information being used as a weapon. It explores how big corporate interests can slowly silence the public voice. It is a scary "what-if" scenario. It feels less like a far-fetched movie and more like a necessary warning right now. If you’re into thrillers that explore the darker side of human ambition, this book will stay in your head long after you turn the last page. This book is a dark, gripping look at what happens when unchecked greed meets a total lack of oversight.
