On January 2, 2026, U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. At a press conference two days later, the administration announced the "e;Donroe Doctrine"e; — American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again. Milo Parker and Zoe Williams watch their magical bookmarks burn with a weight they've never felt before. Milo's amber artifact pulls him through seven decades of documented U.S. intervention: CIA operations in Iran (1953), the overthrow of Guatemala's democracy (1954), the fall of Allende's Chile (1973), the Nicaraguan Contra war, Archbishop Romero's assassination in El Salvador. Zoe's blue bookmark shows her timelines where democracy itself becomes a memory. Meanwhile, historical archives worldwide are being altered in real time — records of Guatemala 1954, Chile 1973, and Nicaragua's brutal civil war changing as they watch, authentic accounts replaced with sanitized versions that erase American involvement. Grounded in declassified CIA documents, Church Committee reports, and international court rulings, The Donroe Doctrine asks: what does it mean to witness history as it's being rewritten for the second time? NOTE: This novel depicts historical violence including military coups, torture, and assassination. These scenes are based on documented events and handled with care, but may be intense for some readers.
