How many must die...to save the first female president?
In a near-future United States, Former President Shirley Mallory finds herself leading an unprecedented coalition of states against federal overreach. As President Hanson’s administration launches aggressive immigration crackdowns—dragging American citizens from their homes without warrants, without trials, without a trace—the California Alliance of States emerges as the last line of defense for civil rights.
The situation becomes explosive when Alliance aide Lenore Cummings is illegally detained and her daughter Lisette barely escapes a government abduction team. Forced into action, Mallory deploys former special forces operator Jasper Crow on a dangerous rescue mission that leads him to the one man capable of tipping the scales: Carl Johnson.
Carl thought he was done being the American Terrorist. After years of violence and sacrifice, he’d finally found peace in a Mexican villa with a new family and a chance at redemption. But when Lisette appears at his gate—the young woman whose life he nearly destroyed a decade ago—Carl learns that some debts can never be outrun. Now he must reassemble his team of elite mercenaries and plunge back into a shadow war where the enemy wears his own country’s flag.
With federal troops massing at state borders, CIA assassins hunting Alliance leaders, Chinese warships lurking off the California coast, and nuclear weapons in play, the Alliance must navigate a treacherous path between peaceful resistance and open rebellion. But as economic sanctions tighten and the body count rises, one question remains:
Can they prevent a second Civil War without sacrificing the very principles they’re fighting to protect?
Insurgency is the latest high-stakes political thriller from acclaimed #1 bestselling author Jeffrey Poston. If you enjoy fast-paced action, intricate political machinations, and stories of resistance against tyranny, you’ll be enthralled by this riveting tale of American democracy in crisis.
