Product Description
by James Hooker (Author)
A quirk of fate has enabled the donation of a history-altering amount of cash to the ministry of a popular religious leader in a solidly Conservative state. Having interpreted the donation as a sign from above, the pastor has divined its purpose: to enable his state's formal secession from the Union and to have their U.S. Senator appointed President of the newly created country.
The public announcement of this outrageous move is met with wild approval by the citizens of the former state and abject horror by the rest of the world, including a dedicated reporter who makes it her mission to bring down the revolution.
As it struggles to form a new nation, the rogue republic encounters a series of existential challenges, both within its government and among its increasingly beleaguered citizenry.
With its very survival at stake, it is forced to take increasingly bold risks to keep its grip on power, including an audacious gambit that pits the tiny nation against the mighty United States itself.
The jaw-dropping, chilling, and sometimes outright hilarious results will keep readers, both for and against the concept of secession, reading late into the night.
