Chandler Scott teams up with an unexpected foe to right the listing ship known as the United States of America. The sinister revelation in his documentary unleashed a torret of both anger and support for the president. America is a country tearing at the seams.
Spending time with his love and hoping to be just a spectator in a convention deciding the future of the republic, Chandler is thrust into plots threatening to undermine the Executive brand of government and ultimately the entire country. Along the way, he must be a bridge between groups on opposite sides of the political spectrum — groups whose help he needs. His mentors also lend a hand, though they bring him unexpected news.
The frenetic pace of events only heightens Chandler's doubts about what is real and what is not. Can he overcome his doubts and save the country?

CHAPTER One
Unrest
Chandler’s documentary exposed the seedy underbelly of the country’s efforts to suppress domestic unrest. After the release of the reorientation camp video and the revelation of the Elysium Protocol, the Jefferson administration faced great pressure to have his proposed panel give the American public something in which to believe. Civil liberty critics suggested the government targeted the underclass and the lower middle class for these camps. The president convened a panel with a heavy military footprint. The American public held the military in high esteem after 9/11. The military rose to be the most respected part of the federal government.
Some feared the public’s adoration of the uniform could make them overlook their accountability. The increased use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and artificial intelligence limited the body bags seen on the nightly news. Eisenhower’s warnings about the undue influence of the military-industrial complex were a distant memory. There was now the added concern of former military staffing positions in the president’s cabinet and security apparatus, positions often held by civilians.
