Aprašymas

The First Lady of the Confederate States of America is assassinated as she dedicates a new warship at the Hampton Roads Shipyard. A tragedy, but not unexpected between enemies. Except the Confederate vessel is an aircraft carrier. The year is 2013. And the assassin is a U.S. terrorist. By taking advantage of its early motivation and superior organization, the South won the Civil War in 1862. Today, the two Americas - the United States and the Confederate States - coexist uneasily. The United States has never recognized the sovereignty of the Confederacy, and still claims the South as its territory. Many people in both countries still carry hate and bitterness from what has become a century and a half of violence. America vs. America begins with the murder of the First Lady of the Confederacy, a much-beloved figure. War fever spreads quickly through a stunned and grieving Confederacy. Chase Randolph is the Director of the Confederate Bureau of Investigation. He is in a race against time to find the killers and quell a political uprising at home before the continent becomes embroiled in a devastating war. Two Americas is a fast-paced, thriller packed with tense action. It will appeal to readers of such authors as Vince Flynn, Harlan Coben, and David Baldacci.
