It is April 19th, 2020. The United States is in a new
war for independence. Insurrection, guerrilla warfare, atrocity
and mayhem drive a crippled nation into a confused maze of
deceit and intrigue.
The uprising started in Texas a year
earlier when zealous President Rex Collins’ executive order
fueled the flames, igniting the homeland. The infrastructure of
the nation is paralyzed, throwing the country into pre-World War
II conditions.
This character driven novel
follows two diverse Rebel families caught in war's crosshair.
The Northcutt's and the Rinaldi's, one from Prosper, Texas, the
other Utica, New York, face over nine months of warfare,
passion, love, loyalty, and mayhem. Their destinies meet as they
battle both personal and common foe to form lasting bonds as
brothers and sisters in war and a love story caught in the mix
of this near futuristic tale of what could be.

Texas/Oklahoma border, fighting a retreating Federal Army
they have driven from their newly declared Republic. Facing
Justin’s regiment is the 10th Mountain Division
and SergeantLuke Rinaldi, a New Yorker and the sole
brother of four to fight for the Federal cause. In the
ensuing battle Luke is badly wounded and taken prisoner.
Becky Northcutt, an attractive and determined Rebel MASH

prisoner Luke Rinaldi,
causing her unwittingly to fall in love. She manipulates the
good will of her brothers, Justin, now a Brigadier and Taylor,
a captain, to prevent
Luke’s incarceration. The Northcutt brothers take a liking to
Luke, who by now has fallen in love with Becky, and place him
in Justin’s Brigade, under the watchful eye of Taylor.

to quash the Rebel momentum, secretly allies with Mexican and
Canadian governments to simultaneously attack his nation’s

to the United States. His hidden agenda is to create a new
United Western Empire, with him its Emperor.
Rebel States’ President, Barbara (Babs) Collins-Smythe, learns
of her brother’s treachery from a deep throat, thought to be
planted in Rex’s Cabinet. The Rebel free states declare war upon
Mexico and Canada, throwing them into a three-front conflict of
life and death. Now the entire North-American Continent is
inflamed.
