Blood Republic

Will America survive its next election, or collapse into chaos?

Blood Republic is a cerebral political-thriller for a divided modern America. First published in the summer of 2016, as the United States now spirals further into dangerous tensions, many are commenting on the eerie, almost prophetic, similarities between this novel and America 2020. Written prior to Donald Trump's election, the rise of Anitfa, Qanon conspiracies, RussiaGate, and the most recent BLM protests, this book will have you amazed, and frightened, at what is shows.

Ruthless politicians, riots, corrupt media, and a looming conspiracy-fueled, disputed election; Blood Republic is a heart-pumping thriller about extremism, with the fate of the country at stake. Will America survive its next election, or collapse into a 2nd civil war of conservative versus liberal?

During the closing hours of the tightest presidential election in US history, firebrand Annie Daniels is a socialist senator determined to win the White House. She dreams of eradicating injustice, and hopefully, saving her dying daughter's life. Major Amos Daniels though, her conservative Green Beret brother, might have something to say about that, if her plans go against his faith.

As an Electoral College tie nears, the country erupts into chaos while an unknown enemy fans the flames. Annie and Amos are thrust to opposite ends of a constitutional crisis with guns drawn, the very soul of our nation at stake. Will the Daniels family find common ground above ideology to prevent a second civil war, or will a secretive enemy-of-the-state help them bring about America's final days?

Blood Republic is an intelligent thriller, described as combining the philosophical depth of an Ayn Rand or George Orwell novel with the excitement of such story-tellers as Michael Crichton or Tom Clancy. Politically independent in tone, Blood Republic will make you question your own political and philosophical beliefs while keeping you guessing who the true villain is in a fractured modern America.

Can peace and reason overcome two-party hate, or has the country already been pushed too far? Read Blood Republic to see if America will survive.
