I have seen movies like 300, and always wondered what it would be like to see a movie like that with Black people in the cast. I would even have liked to have read about it. But that wasn’t a possibility until I read The Road of Resistance.
This book is an epic tale that begins when a weapon is unleashed on the world that destroys all weapons made after a certain time period, so the only weapons left remaining are swords, hammers, and axes. The world goes awry, the Constitution and Bill of Rights are no more, and the cops are completely out of control (what else is new) raping and brutalizing any citizens who dare speak up about their atrocious behavior.
Chessed and his homies are from the streets. But they are also nerds. And preppers. And swordsmen. And the time has come to implement their plans for a post-SHTF world. Chessed rallies his homies and what ensues is a riveting tale of homies from the hood battling corrupt cops, martial law, and hate groups, as they attempt to secure their city of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
This book will have you turning pages all night. The fight scenes alone are so well choreographed they are breath-taking. I can see every sweep of the swords and axes and found myself wincing and jumping at the descriptions which evoked such vivid imagery.
The Road of Resistance is Black Lives Matter meets Vikings, but the Vikings are brothas, this time. And they are taking no prisoners.
Could this book be a foretelling of things to come? Read it and make the decision for yourself.
