[Dalton Crusoe 04] • The Rising Sedition

With seven months remaining in his first term, President Harold Barriman is weathering fierce opposition. Despite a likable personality, the president finds himself in a political firestorm. His liberal agenda is enraging conservatives, libertarians, and independents as the economy tanks. A massive Chinese aid deal drives America to become a Chinese “client state.” The president and his powerful Chief of Staff, Brandon (Badge) Demarche, are steering America down a treasonous path. A grass-roots effort calls for a Convention of States. Dalton Crusoe learns of a plot to assassinate the emerging leaders of the New Libertarian Party through his newly discovered half-brother, Declan Crusoe. Dalton struggles to unravel the threat, protect his friend Ed Kosko, halt the president’s agenda, and protect his hunted half-brother―the answers force Dalton into dangerous choices as the deadline for the Convention nears and the national elections approach. Lines are drawn, the tension grows and lethal decisions are made.
