The Republic's Wake

By Z.D. Hunter

Ten years ago, Captain Daniel Hale refused an order to sink unarmed Americans carrying medicine through a federal blockade. He turned his submarine's weapons on Washington instead and fired the first shot of the Second American Civil War. Now the United States has fractured into rival governments. Foreign powers trade food and weapons for control. Daniel's son is still paying for the choice that made his name a battle cry. Mason Hale has spent a decade fighting beside former special operators, engineers, hackers, farmers, and ordinary men who refused to live under permanent emergency rule. He has also buried civilians, betrayed allies, and made decisions he cannot forgive. When Mason's team uncovers a hidden command structure inside the systems keeping the country alive, they face an impossible mission: stop the government from turning surveillance and artificial intelligence into a weapon without destroying the hospitals, power networks, logistics, and communications millions need to survive. The enemy is closing in. The coalition is breaking apart. And the final order is already moving beneath the sea. His father fired the first shot. Mason Hale has to stop the last.
