BLURB
Late in the
21st century, the United Continental States of America (or UCSA), comprising
the former USA, Canada and Mexico, is running smoothly: unemployment has been
all but eradicated, terrorism is quashed in the country, and internal dissent
diminishes by the day. Most people thank President Meyers for this. Many can no
longer remember when there was last an election, but as long as he keeps the
country safe from the terrorist group Hariq Jihad (‘Fire War’), this seems a
small price to pay.
Gunnery Sergeant
Anthony Jackson is the model Marine: highly trained, absolutely efficient, and
unquestioningly dedicated to his country. The only thing he can conceive of
putting before his nation is his family, his wife Courtney and two daughters
Maya and MacKenzie. Conscripted into the personal security detail of President
Meyers, he begins to get glimpses that not everyone is as content with the
current situation as he is, but attributes this to terrorist agitation and
fringe lunacy. When his older daughter Maya begins to question the creeping
erosion of personal liberties and the revoking of democratic rights, however,
he begins to fear for her safety, as well as his own and that of his family. In
a climate in which entire families disappear due to minor offenses, one can’t
be too careful.
The tensions
between liberty and safety, between family and country, will force Jackson to
rethink all his beliefs, and lead to a collision with the system he has
dedicated his life to serving.
Fire War is a
suspenseful, gripping and unnerving examination of the paradoxes of power, the
price of liberty, and the dictates of conscience. The world you live in will
never look the same again.
