Can the United States be saved from civil war? In 2041, Senator Manny Jones takes charge of a four-state secession battle in America’s Southwest to create the Republic of Alta Texas. As he does, the United Nations sends peacekeepers to protect the region’s Hispanic majority from genocidal U.S. military retribution for voting to secede. Peacekeeping troops conceal a massive territory grab supported by anti-American terrorists, the world’s most powerful drug cartel and nations intent on weakening the United States. U.S. President Marc Phillipi seeks to make amends after a lie he told to win reelection backfires, setting a 72-hour deadline to end a secession quickly turning deadly. Professor Paul Stark and Independent Congresswoman Jill Carlson hold on to each other as they search for solutions others can’t see. Two teens maneuver to avoid being trapped in the middle. Just out of high school, the newfound fame of Juan Gonzalez as a leader of Mexican-Americans makes him a primary target for both sides. Camped on the new border with her family, 14-year-old Clarissa Coleman risks her life and endures lost innocence trying to protect America. In Melting Point 2040, America’s melting pot reached its boiling point. In Secession 2041, division darkens America’s soil with the blood of civil war. Everyday Americans pay with their lives as politically motivated divisions reach an end game. The future builds from a history we are creating today.
