American Nemesis

The gripping story of one man’s fight for survival as a divided superpower stands on the brink of a bloody civil war. It’s July 2030. The American States are no longer united, as the ‘Tea Party’ Republicans have seceded from the Union to form a new nation, the Confederated Christian States of America. For a decade the two ideological rivals have faced off against each other across the intra-American frontier. It’s an uneasy truce that begins to crumble as a tragic incident pushes both sides to the very brink. Joshua Hamilton is a liberal with a history of political activism. Regarded as a traitor by the ultra-conservative population of the Arizona Strip where he lives, he has been blacklisted by the government security apparatus. His plans to cross the border to start a new life in the remnant United States are thrown into disarray when the brutal murder of a friend forces him to re-evaluate his priorities. As America creeps ever closer to a potentially catastrophic civil war he finds himself embroiled in a high risk mission. If the operation succeeds he will gain everything he desires. If it fails, his life will be over. From the author of the much acclaimed THE WAR OF ZERO-SUM, this is a fast moving thriller that will grip you from the first page to the last.
