Finally!!!
Six chapters from Domestic Enemies are available on the web at http://enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/excerpts.htm . You can also read the first 18 chapters of Enemies Foreign and Domestic for free at that page.
I'm only 10 paragraphs into the first chapter, and I already want to sleep with the lights on again (like I did after reading the first book, Enemies Foreign and Domestic). I'm looking forward to the rest.

Here's what Matt posted back on May 4th, 2004 about this book:

For you EFAD readers, here's the brief background of my sequel, which will bring back Ranya as a primary character. "Domestic Enemies" takes place five years after the end of "Enemies Foreign and Domestic," or notionally about 2014. The action happens between Oklahoma and Southern California, but much of it occurs in New Mexico.
The state government of New Mexico has been taken over by nominally Democrat Party Hispanic radicals of the MeCha and La Raza variety, in wildly rigged “touch screen†elections. The NM electoral vote helps to put the ‘rat President over the top, so as you can imagine, no election fraud investigation is forthcoming.
One of the new radical state government’s top agenda items is “land reform.†Large Anglo-owned properties will be confiscated on the pretext that their original deeds and titles are invalid, under the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo, dating from the 1840s. In order to enforce the “land reform†the governor creates a new force, the “Milicia de Nuevo Mexico,†and arms them with surplus M-16A1 rifles from the state guard armories. (The actual NM National Guard is all deployed to the war in East Slambamistan.) The stage is set for a bloody showdown between Anglo ranchers who refuse to leave their ancestral lands, and the Milicia de Nuevo Mexico.
The state government passes “Solo Espanol†laws, in reaction after some other US states pass English-only laws. Police and other government employees who cannot pass difficult oral and written Spanish proficiency tests are fired. Milicia-manned checkpoints are pervasive, searching the cars of Anglos for illegal firearms. The checkpoints are a form of ethnic harassment, part of the new government’s unspoken plan for the ethnic cleansing of “Nuevo Mexico.†(The Indian tribes were bought off as part of the rigged state elections.)
"Voluntarios" from Mexico and Central and South America (as well as left-wing radical gringos) are coming to NM for land and a chance to poke a sharp stick in Uncle Sam’s eye. Sort of a Barcelona 1935 atmosphere. Reds, "blacks" (anarchists) and lunatics of all stripes.
Armed volunteers of the Jim Bowie/Davy Crockett stripe are also heading to Nuevo Mexico to support the threatened Anglo ranchers; some of these "right wing militia" patriot types will be incorporated into the plot. But I'm not going to make it totally black and white, i.e., "Anglos good, Hispanics bad." I'm going to strive to include many of motives, pure and base, on both sides.
One major character will be a demoralized and disgusted FBI agent in Albuquerque. He's getting all of this incredible information on Chinese subversion ops money, communist infiltrators from Peru to Cuba, but Washington FBI HQ does NOT want to hear about it. DC is in full denial mode. As long as the govt of NM mouths the right USA words, DC will ignore the revolution going on in NM at the street and ranch level.
Plus, to make it worse, HQ keeps sending nonsensical orders for the FBI agents in Albuquerque to investigate who else but....the right wing ranchers and others, who are resisting the NM govts "land reform" (confiscation) efforts! Don't mind the Chinese and other communist agents; go after the right wing "domestic terrorists" who are violating the strict federal gun laws and other new laws! The frustrated FBI agent lives in this insane PC world, where his DC masters are totally out of touch with reality. (Sort of like today.)

WOW! That's some crazy sounding fiction... but not as crazy as sci-fi.
