About this book
"With a Vengeance" by J. B. Woodley is a science fiction novel likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The story unfolds in a futuristic setting, specifically in the year 2119, and revolves around the themes of politics, power, and societal change, particularly highlighting the shift from democracy to an absolute monarchy. The narrative follows Gorg W. Booth, a former editor who now grapples with the rise of Kyle, formerly known as Kilmer Jones, who becomes the First Imperator of Terra. As Booth reflects on their past, he recalls the time he dismissed the young Kilmer from his newspaper because of his poor grammar and lack of skills. The story takes a turn as Kyle proclaims a new era, abolishing newspapers altogether and ruling with what appears to be an iron fist. However, in an unexpected twist, he later invites Booth back into the fold, granting him the role of Chief Editor for a new official newspaper. As Booth navigates this new position, he contemplates the implications of such a regime and fears for both his safety and the moral integrity of the leadership. The plot culminates in Booth's tragic end, revealing deeper themes about language, power, and the human condition in a rapidly changing society.
