In "Blue Dawn," bestselling author Blaine Lee Pardoe delivers a chilling political thriller that imagines America's darkest hour. Five years after a devastating coup known as "the Liberation" by its perpetrators and "the Fall" by its victims, the United States has been transformed into "Newmerica" - a progressive regime where conservatism is criminal, patriotism is treason, and history has been rewritten to serve the new elite.
When former Secret Service agents Jack Desmond and Kara Kazinski, who harbor dangerous secrets from the night of the Fall, cross paths with Andy Forrest, the son of a persecuted history professor, they become unlikely allies in a desperate bid to restore the nation. The recovery of precious national artifacts-including the original Declaration of Independence and Constitution-becomes the catalyst for resistance against the increasingly authoritarian government.
As the legitimate successor to the presidency emerges from hiding to reclaim power, a lethal operative named Caylee Leatrom finds herself questioning her loyalty to a system built on lies. Meanwhile, a young man named Raul discovers the brutal truth behind the utopian promises that shaped his worldview.
With the government's forces closing in, this band of patriots must outmaneuver the powerful National Security Force and Social Enforcers while orchestrating a nationwide awakening before America's heritage is erased forever.
A provocative alternate-history thriller that feels eerily plausible, "Blue Dawn" is a high-stakes race against time that explores the fragility of democracy and the resilience of the American spirit. If you enjoyed "1984," "The Handmaid's Tale," and "American War," you'll love "Blue Dawn."
