Freedom is always worth fighting for! Newmerica was forged out of a violent coup that superimposed a socialist state over what had been the United States of America. For five years into their rule, the progressives have had their way in dismantling every aspect of American life. Out of the shadows, a new American President has been sworn in, threatening their grip on the nation. The Newmerican's are unwilling to turn over the reins of power setting the stage for a conflict unlike any other. As a second American Civil War erupts, a unique ensemble of characters must struggle to find their place in the conflict and survive. One is a war veteran struggling with his reputation and deep personal loss. Another is a covert agent who must rescue a freedom fighter trapped behind the lines. Another is a Secret Service Director on a race against time with an assassin. A college student tries to hide from social enforcers bent on making an example of her, and a military commander must face the ultimate test in battle. Against the backdrop of a Presidential election that might fracture the nation even further, the enemies of freedom show their true colors and the depths they will go to hold onto power. Woven from the tapestry of today's headlines, Blaine Pardoe presents the gripping second book in the Blue Dawn series. One thing is certain, this internal struggle for control of the American way of life will be a most uncivil war!
