Sixteen hundred miles. Two prisoners. One record a government may not want delivered.
THEY WERE TOLD TO BRING AN ARMY.
The road east is finally open.
After the attempted seizure at Hanford leaves two people dead, Reconstruction Control orders the accused men returned east for a formal hearing.
Graham Morgan will carry the evidence himself: the original directive, the authenticated countermand, the preserved radio traffic, and testimony from the people who survived.
He is also carrying a secret Reconstruction Control cannot be allowed to discover.
Someone inside the National Archives is still alive.
With Kade, McCann, Tehya, and a small company beside him, Graham begins a sixteen-hundred-mile journey across a country being rebuilt one registry, checkpoint, and command post at a time.
Every Republic settlement offers another glimpse of restored order. Every decertified community reveals what that order costs.
The convoy must survive ruined highways, uncertain alliances, spring storms, and people with powerful reasons to keep Graham and his evidence from reaching the hearing.
The farther they travel from Hanford, the harder it becomes to know whether the Republic is escorting them, watching them, or leading them into a trap.
At the end of the road, the prisoners will face Reconstruction Control.
So will Graham.
The Sixteen Hundred is Book Fourteen in the bestselling Graham's Resolution series.
Begin with The China Pandemic and follow Graham Morgan's journey from the first days of collapse.
Genre: Science Fiction
