I really enjoyed Empire.
A question about who is who though....

Verus is most likely based on George Soros (no need to confirm, he could as easily be any big money lefty)

Is there a real life analog for Torrent? Maybe not as Augustus to be (if that is what he is to become), but even as a history writer. I ask because I would like to read his books.

One other observation, I was suprised at the minor role of homeland security within Empire. Should they have been a bigger player in the fight against the progressives?

A fun read though, action packed and thought provoking.

I don't know, what does Homeland Security actually do?

Secure the homeland.
Please don't ask any more questions.
Thank you.
