Quantità Limitata Sunshine Patriots by Bill Campbell

Rebellion erupts on the “paradise” planet of Elysia, plunging the colony into chaos. In response, the all-powerful United Earth dispatches its elite corps of cyborg soldiers, led by Aaron “the Berber” Barber. After more than a decade of killing hideous aliens across the galaxy, Barber questions his celebrated role in United Earth’s military/industrial/entertainment complex when he finally has to face his fellow humans.
Reviews
“Sunshine Patriots quickly reaches critical mass, and shines with a furious, distinctive, and compelling energy all its own!”

— Tony Daniel, author of Metaplanetary

“[Campbell’s writing] is at once inventive, funny, and poetic. There is a brilliant future in his imagined worlds”.

— Darius James, author of Negrophobia and That’s Blaxploitation: Roots of the Baadasssss ‘Tude!!!

“As these are historic times, many works of literature are bound to be inspired. Campbell’s Sunshine Patriots deserves attention as such a work.”-Kim Thorpe, Boston’s Weekly Dig

“A jazzily written, satirically tinged story.”-Bill O’Driscoll, Pittsburgh City Paper

“[Bill Campbell has] founded an entirely new literary genre.”-Pamela Zoslov, Cleveland Free Times

“Sunshine Patriots is outrageous and brilliant. Its characters will intrigue and enrage you; its story is as familiar as an old shirt and as wondrous as a soothsayer’s vision. Few authors have both the skill and the chutzpah to push the frontiers of science fiction this far, and this well.”-Kavita Philip, author of Civilizing Natures

“A real page-turner, and very thought provoking besides. I didn’t want to put this one down. Every scene played out before me like a movie. This was a very good book. The characters were well developed and three dimensional. I got into them right off. The setting was also very well developed. I could almost smell the alien colony while I was reading. Good work. Bill Campbell is a name to watch. I predict more good books from him in the future.”-Dan L. Hollifield, Aphelion Review

“In his debut novel, Sunshine Patriots , author Bill Campbell presents an oppressive techno-corporate political machine presiding over a Unified Earth, unified primarily in its abject poverty and desolation. The book … portrays an Earth as global slum, from which forced enlistment in the armed services constitutes the only “escape” for the brutalized classes. Rife with dystopian themes, Sunshine Patriots also reveals a wry and literate sense of humor (a lead character, the Jamaican war hero Aaron Edmund Barber, known as “the Berber,” nominally evokes two of Shakespeare’s most compelling villains), a sure ear for slang and the expressive richness of subculture, and an intriguing sociopolitical motivation. In other words, unlike in the bulk of the sci-fi canon, it isn’t always the Anglo/Asian who saves the day, and it isn’t always the black guy who gets it in the neck.”-John Rodat, Metroland (Albany, New York)
