After the United Communist States wages war on Russia, the fight to stay alive against his fellow Americans and the invading forces leaves Xavier Starr no choice but to make some sacrifices. A series of horrific experiences may give Xavier his chance to rule the world, but at what cost? Both his physical well-being and sanity are challenged as he is forced into a world where death surrounds him and there are no rules. Fall, Rise, Repeat is a dystopian story that provides plenty of action and political commentary. It combines the theory-heavy commentary of classic dystopian novels like 1984 and Brave New World and the action of newer, fast-paced books like Legend and Divergent.
