The Dead Authorities

By Steven Schroeder

Al Vars and Grant Contrad have been business partners and friends their whole lives, but when Al falls in love with Grant's daughter, Sharon, the fate of the world becomes jeopardized.

Contrad and Vars is the United States' largest private equity firm backing far-right candidate David Morgan to be president of the United States of America. Grant Contrad refuses to allow his daughter to be married to his friend and business partner, so Al Vars sabotages the Morgans' presidential bid with the help of Gabriel College students Katie Lubbock and Johnny Nadeau. As family ties begin to unravel in the Morgan dynasty, Al and Grant are forced to set aside their differences to achieve their shared dream: an insurrection on the US Capitol.

As the nation faces the precipice of civil war, old friends from Gabriel College come together to piece the country back together, but will they prevail against the collapsing authority of Contrad and Vars?
