Exposed State: Proof is the Deadliest Weapon

By Ronald Hajek

The call is coming from inside the house. For twenty years, Elias Thorne has protected the nation as a DHS investigator, but when the shadows he's been chasing turn out to be the very government he serves, his loyalty becomes a death sentence.

In an America fractured by partisan bile and crushed under the weight of overnight tax hikes and impossible consumer prices, the public is too busy fighting each other to notice the real threat. When a photographer captures proof of a conspiracy involving private contractors and high-level officials, the countdown to a national catastrophe begins.

Elias is weary, cynical, and haunted by the memory of choosing his uniform over his own brother during a tax riot years ago. Now, he must decide: will he remain a cog in a corrupt machine, or will he risk everything to protect the truth? If Nick and his allies can't turn their hidden visual evidence into proof before the contractors execute their attack, the President--and countless bystanders--will pay the ultimate price.

Ripped from the headlines of a world on the brink, Exposed State is a gripping blend of political thriller and post-apocalyptic fiction. In a state where public image is everything and the truth is a liability, Elias Thorne is about to learn that proof is the deadliest weapon of all.

Can one man stop a conspiracy when he's already part of the system? Or will the trail be erased before the world sees the truth?
