About the Book:
It is the common fate
of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The
condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance;
which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of
his crime and the punishment of his guilt.
John Philpot Curran
Jennifer
Martin struggles to keep her small business afloat in the aftermath of a
global pandemic. But when a blast from the past informs her of a plan
to take down America, she realizes the pandemic was only the opening
act. Death and destruction hang like a dark cloud over the horizon.
Jennifer must steel herself for the trouble to come.
Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.
Government
intervention during the pandemic has weakened the economy and the
social fabric of the nation. Nevertheless, bureaucrats and lawmakers
refuse to change course and double down on the failed policies that have
crippled the country. Rising prices and labor shortages are pushing
Jennifer Martin’s small Atlanta restaurant to the brink of destruction.
A bitter red pill.
After
years of being out of touch, Lucas McIntosh shows up at Jennifer’s
doorstep. He tells her about his dishonorable discharge from the Army
and about the purge designed to cleanse the military of patriots and
conservatives.
New laws serve to exacerbate the growing food shortage
in America. Paired with crippling inflation, the scarcity triggers food
riots across the country.
And a fatal false flag.
Shortly
after the riots are brought under control, a cyber-attack brings down
the electrical grid sending the country into total chaos. The assault is
blamed on a group of malcontents who believe the last US election was
rigged. But Lucas believes this narrative is only a ruse intended to
further divide the fractured nation.
With so many already in dire
straits, the power outage pushes people to the edge. The crisis brings
out the worst in humanity, turning average citizens into desperate
savages. Jennifer and her small group of friends will have to stick
together and be smart if they have any hope of surviving the turmoil.
