Publisher's Synopsis
Months of rioting, arson, looting, attacks on police, and the burning of major U.S. cities have ripped the bonds of friendships and families. People, at least some of whom are U.S. citizens, have threatened to burn down the nation if they cannot achieve the totalitarian revolution they seek. As the issues surrounding the election increase this division, there is talk of civil war. These issues make this novel relevant.Secession, a separation of the red states from the blue states, is one alternative to a violent and bloody revolution. This novel explores how that parting might happen. Bound together by the legacy of the first Civil War, the American Left and Right stagger down a middle road that takes them where neither side wants to go. In this scenario, government leaders plot to change the Constitution and the rule of law to create a Marxist utopia under their power. All too late, the nation learns just how much power the politicians have given thenselves over the years and just how much contempt they have for the Bill of Rights and ordinary citizens. How bloody will the parting be?
