About the Book

     Can the United States government actually get too large? Can “We, the People” ever retake control of our elected government officials?
     Young marksman Oren Fletcher learned to hunt in the hills near his family’s farm and spent hundreds of hours at the range target practicing with his custom-built, high-powered rifle. Upon the untimely murder of his father at the hands of the newly and illegally created United States Federal Office of Gun Enforcement, Oren takes matters into his own hands.
     With a strong and dedicated will to eliminate and sidetrack those who would destroy our country's Second Amendment and the Constitution, Oren sets out to restore solid American values based on his own interpretation of our nation’s “Supreme Law of the Land.”
     Several subplots interweave the novel, finally intersecting with a definite finality for the “bad guys.” Meet “Louie the Pig,” a murderous repeat offender and his druggie partner Raymond Porter, along with street scum Bobbie Jones, who murdered Oren’s mother.
     The United States Enforcers are worse than these lowly felons. Hiding behind newly created American laws created to remove all guns from private ownership, the Enforcers raid and pillage gun owners with sanctioned impunity. Under the leadership of Enforcer General Bob Woods, the Enforcers forever change the meaning of the words “gun collector.”
     While Oren makes the biggest impact on both criminals and Enforcers alike, it is a host of American heroes, the Militia, if you will, that shows its indomitable American spirit throughout this novel.

     Born in the tiny farming community of Buttonwillow, California, Stephen P. Merlo grew up hunting, fishing and learning about the great outdoors. Later in life, he learned to write about his beloved sports, eventually becoming an outdoor columnist for a major daily California newspaper. His weekly column became so well received that in 2008 he was awarded the prestigious “Kern County ‘Olen Arnold Sportsman of the Year’ trophy by the Bakersfield Sportsman’s Night Committee.
     Merlo lives in Bakersfield with his wife and best friend of 6-years, Candace. The couple enjoys winning bass tournaments (50) and traveling around the states looking for more bass to catch. When not on the lake, Steve can usually be found hunting ducks, wild hogs or upland birds.
     Merlo is a decorated and handicapped Viet Nam Veteran and totally supports our troops wherever they may be deployed.

Reviews

     "Oren's War is gripping. Merlo brings to light what a post second amendment America would be like. This book is more of a wake-up call and a call to action for everyone to question motives of your elected officials. After reading Oren's War if it doesn't then your wood's wet. Outdoorsmen are the keeper of the gate protecting the sheep, from the wolves. Its a must read for anyone that loves the American way of life as our forefathers intended us to live".

Jim Ferguson, Host of the Great American Outdoor Trails Radio Magazine


     "Oren's War is a great look forward towards the future we could see come true in this country. It reminds me of the frog in the pot story. The frog never notices that the heat keeps changing until it is too late. The erosion of our rights and freedoms will continue, and soon, like the frog, it will be too late to reverse."
"Think it can't happen in America, Read about it!"
