Shea searches to find her husband while the leader of the United States moves to consolidate his power and shred the Constitution. Yet, both are undermined by the efforts of an ambitious bureaucrat who seeks the throne for herself and intends to send the nation deeper into despotism. Together with a former Congressman, Shea creates a movement to challenge the tyranny of the Administration. Emotions run high as those who create the country's wealth are the ones drowning in exorbitant taxation, while others are satisfied standing in line for government handouts. Not since 1860 has the country been so polarized.
"Secession ... secession now!" they chant. But will it come to that?
In this second installment of the Atlas Series, the factions take sides, and when the ultimate decision must be made, chaos reigns. Can war be far behind?
