A Most Uncivil War

In "A Most Uncivil War," the second installment of the Blue Dawn series, Blaine L. Pardoe plunges readers into a fractured America where revolution has upended the constitutional order. Five years after the violent overthrow of the U.S. government, the nation has been rebranded as "Newmerica" under the control of the authoritarian Ruling Council.

When the presumed-dead Vice President suddenly resurfaces and reclaims his legitimate authority, the battle lines are drawn for an all-out struggle for America's soul. Former Secret Service Director Jack Desmond, now serving as Chief of Staff, orchestrates a desperate effort to restore constitutional order, while the ruthless Secretary of the NSF will stop at nothing to maintain power, including assassination.

As election day approaches, Texas National Guard Colonel Trip Reager faces the prospect of urban warfare in Chicago, while operative Caylee Leatrom races to rescue a captured resistance fighter before he's executed as a trophy of the regime. Meanwhile, law student Maddie Steele discovers that her conservative beliefs have marked her for elimination on her progressive college campus.

From desperate battles in city streets to clandestine operations against a surveillance state, "A Most Uncivil War" delivers a pulse-pounding vision of a near-future America where freedom itself hangs in the balance. The fight isn't just for power—it's for the very definition of what America means.
