Tough Luck, Suckers: We’re Untouchable
by Chris Malan

The pervert who murdered his ten-year-old son had a shocking history of paedophilia.

Despite that, the authorities set him free.

Thomas Parker wanted them to shoulder their share of the blame. The authorities insisted they were blameless and told the Parkers to get over it and get on with their lives.

Thomas discovered released criminals often rape and murder again all over the world. The Parkers decided things needed changing in a big way and prepared as for war.

Taking on any government is a mammoth task, especially for a small family. They lacked sheer force, so they had to use their wits—the one thing most governments lack.

If Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged challenged you, this book will make you think. In this book, Atlas didn’t withdraw his support from society, he mobilised society and went to war against the government.

Will David again slay Goliath? How does he plan to do it? Will he battle alone? And what exactly does he want?

4 out of 5 fairies

This book certainly delivers on what it promises in the blurb. You can’t help but understand Parker’s anger at a system that releases repeat offenders onto the street only to hurt someone new. What starts with a heartbreaking event quickly turns into a fight to change the way the system is. The little man versus the government and the rich elites, you quickly get drawn into the story. It absolutely makes you think, and while I don’t want to give spoilers, you can’t help but root for the underdog taking on an entity that could easily crush him beneath its heel. A must-read, especially in today’s world, where the government cares more about those with money than the everyday person.

I was born, grew up, became an adult, and now I’m old. That’s much the story of everyone who lives long enough, isn’t it?

As a kid, I always wanted to become a doctor. So I did. Even specialised. I’ve also written business software applications. Like dogs, I like technology and technology likes me.

There’s not a politically correct bone in my body. That comes from working with hard, unforgiving facts.

My writing is clear and workmanlike, and I have trouble padding. Why should one use unnecessary words?

Well, that’s me.
